That very same year the boy was harassed, beaten, and continually tormented by a neighborhood teen. Now, let’s flash forward to the boy's teenage years – he had a firearm dry fired in his mouth by police officers. What the world is witnessing is real Americans (of all colors) engaging a gunfight against hatred with only signs and chants.
