[@ChronicGamer420]

Both sides are at fault, 1 side obviously more the the other. He 100% shouldnt of hit her, BUT she also shouldnt of put herself in that situation. Sad situation that could of been solved by getting along not fighting

[@skankhunt3624]

At least she got it on video.

[@christian-ub7nm]

🤣 everyone’s kid is a good kid. Especially all the ones in this video deciding to fight at 1am. All the kids here have the same emotional intelligence as their parents. Fighting at court, and not watching your children is how there’s someone dead. All of em who decided to show up and fight should share the charge. Dumb enough to have beef with people you won’t ever see again in your life.

[@scanmead]

There's a whole lot of denial on this one. Why were all these kids out there literally looking for a fight? Why did Simmons repeatedly circle around? Where were the parents for the two years all this was brewing? Why drag your sister into this? "Good kids" don't go out armed with bats and pipes in the wee hours of the morning intentionally looking for conflict. I see no angels in this one.

[@laurapearson8208]

She should not have been out that late and participating in gang activity. Why weren't the parents so concerned about that?

[@jayvee7154]

Exactly. Weren't worried enough to keep her inside after hours...

[@kjp1232]

Because they're just not that's all there is to it

[@onmyownwave1641]

I agree. They let their kids become goons. These are the consequences

[@GolfWhisky]

All sympathy for people who are victims of unprovoked attacks. However, when you actively go and participate in a fight instead of stepping way back and keeping out of it, I can't really sympathise when you lose. There will always be a winner and loser, sometimes no winner and all losers. The severity of the loss comes down to a roll of the dice, but you take that gamble when you willingly choose to play the game.

[@SidewaysInTraffic]

A difference from a fist fight and a fight with weapons. If they didn't have weapons, I would disagree with you.

[@chrisbills389]

When a group of young foolish people decide to foolishly risk their lives because of some foolish beef , this is the end results

[@SidewaysInTraffic]

At 18 I had a curfew of 12am since I lived in my mothers home, that's why I moved out LOL. How is a 17 year old girl running around at 1 something in the morning?

[@TheHeretic1919]

Ah yes the good ol "Hes a good boy let's show a pic of him graduating" Routine.

[@nighthawk1999]

That’s probably the only picture of him where he’s not throwing gang signs or holding guns.

[@rme5596]

Did it for both of them. Remember two friend groups were hood ratting it up after hours in a closed park. Fighting with weapons. Driver should do time for what he did. Also she didn’t get run over doing charity work for the needy. Sad for her family

[@sentienthamster]

I don't think tragedy is the word you are looking for here.

[@KCBarr1]

So the gang that the girl was with, called the others via cell phone to come and fight. That was very juvenile of them. There are 2 sides to this story and it's too bad the girl got killed, but she was literally pounding on the car windows and taking video. The kid deserves about 10 to 15, but not 40.

[@melissahaire7058]

Both parties are guilty!! They all actively participated in this fight!! Smdh And they're still fighting at the courthouse!! Absolutely ridiculous!! Where are the charges for everyone that was there!! Everyone should be facing criminal charges!!

[@theluchakabuto5206]

That mother is disgusting. “Some jumped out of the way, unfortunately some didn’t”. Completely emotionless. Probably the reason her son thinks it’s funny to kill people.

[@williammatthews2948]

She should be admonished just for saying that.

[@IFBBJacked]

That is where we are as a society today and I am not surprised with the endless Doom scrolling and constant shock chasing on social media that is completely dulling the moral compass of today's youth.

[@SCY710]

Why? Its not a direct threat. Its a statement of fact. Some did jump. Others didnt. Go change your pad, samantha. ​@williammatthews2948

[@SCY710]

​@IFBBJacked yeah... because violent crime JUST STARTED this generation, right? Or maybe you're just hearing about it more because YOURE the one "doomscrolling" (made up word for no self control on the internet)

[@neontetra1000]

She really wanted to say “ oh well” hard luck . That showed her true colours .

[@GraniteRWolf]

Non of the kids should have been out at that time of night. Fatherless behavior leads to this kind of behavior.

[@IFBBJacked]

Facts 💯 today's youth are completely doomed and lost. They go and get themselves in really bad scenarios then expect the world to feel sorry for them. I feel no sympathy whatsoever for them. They should be in the house. Not out on the street and definitely not out provoking fights.

[@cocomelon2346]

They made their own decisions to do this, so no it's not fatherless behavior nor any parents fault, it's their own.

[@BrileyFenimore]

@@cocomelon2346nah no father or having a bad father can result in these situations

[@cocomelon2346]

@BrileyFenimore results of having 1 mother, father or both parents because no matter how they raised teenagers will still choose to do things that they(aka themselves) want to despite of being told and taught of not to fall with the wrong crowd even if it a family member. These aren't kids that need constantly babysitting, they knows what is right from wrong and have a mindset even actions to make their decisions. These teenagers put themselves in this situation not the parents. None of them even decided to call for their parents before it escalated, they had called afterwards. None of this would've happened is the brother asked his sister to come there and he could've went to a near by store or a person for help, but instead of doing that he choose to fight. So again neither of the parents are at fault, those teens are. If you have a child no matter how you raise them but they still choose to do something that put themselves in these situations, would you take the blame or let them handle their own consequences? For me they gotta hand their own, because you're old enough to make them you are old face them, just leave me and other family members out of it.

[@mninja98]

@@cocomelon2346 I can agree on that. These kids decided to go outside to do whatever. Parents not caring about their where abouts. Maybe the girl would be alive if she didn’t join in the drama..

Why cant these kids just do kid stuff, go bowling, yeah meet up for fun not to fight all the time. These kids are so angry at eachother and a lot of it is the parents burying their heads in the sand.

[@ericdorsey620]

This is a clear case of how the mom and dad raised their children. Because the kid that got the text should have never left the house.

[@Janet-eu3vv]

When Simmons walked back to his car and got in it, the crowd was not surrounding his car at that moment. He could have backed up, turned the other direction and left. Instead he drives towards the crowd and goes around again and hits the other car. Then he backs up and drives towards the kids again. That looked pretty intentional to me. He could have left when he got in his car. I don’t see how they can say it wasn’t intentional when he clearly made the choice twice to drive towards the kids.
