An alleged fight over a girl involving over 50 teenagers has left a 16-year-old student dead after being stabbed in the chest and an 18-year-old student charged in his death while many of the other teens took videos of the victim dying rather than helping to save his life.
The fight broke out at around 3:45 p.m. on Monday afternoon outside of a bagel shop in Oceanside, New York close to where the victim, Khaseen Morris, went to high school.
An anonymous witness to the fight who spoke to New York Citys ABC station WABC said that Morris was ambushed by the group.
"There was a bunch of people sitting by the Chinese restaurant ... about 15 kids, and then all of a sudden while I was on the phone speaking, eight -- seven or eight kids came from the north and targeted certain people that I believe they were looking for," the man said.

Too many people are teaching their kids that hurting a person makes them stronger.
How could that kid been saved? If there was no fight to begin with, the kids just talked things out and went home.
A girl that I knew in middle school got stabbed in the chest by a romantic rival at a crowded fair and circus. It was the summer between my eight and ninth year of school. I was not there because I was a homebody and I had a summer job, but I heard the girl died pretty much instantly, not even some nurses that were at the fair could help her. She died all over nothing.

(63,221 posts)My heart breaks for the child who was killed, and because of those who callously stood by and watched and took fucking VIDEOS, for the 18-year old who thought he could solve a dispute by murdering someone, and for a society that encourages this behavior. Sometimes I really hate this world.
