Florida Teens Won’t Be Charged After Mocking, Filming Death Of Drowning Man; MAGA

A group of teens in Cocoa, Florida allegedly laughed and taunted a drowning man with a disability, then posted video of his death to social media.

“You gonna die,” one of the teenagers in the video yelled as 32-year-old Jamel Dunn called for help.

“Ain’t nobody fixing to help you, you dumb ass,” another teen shouted.

According to the Cocoa Police Department, five teenage boys between the ages of 14 and 16 stood and watched for more than two minutes last week as Dunn struggled to stay afloat in a fenced-off retention pond.

Not one of the teenagers attempted to assist Dunn or called or help. Instead, they laughed and filmed his final moments, police said.

What would they have been charged with? I don't understand the "MAGA" part, this doesn't have anything to do with Trump or his supporters so what's the point of bringing it up?

You are forgetting who posted this...MAGA means different things to different people.

In this case it's Mexicans Against Gringos Always.....

:dunno:
Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence.

In general, there is no legal requirement in the United States to help and rescue someone else who is in danger. This would typically apply even in extreme situations where a bystander sees a small child who has wandered into the street or a man who has fallen onto the train tracks. There are some exceptions to this rule. Ten states have limited rules that may require you to help a crime victim if you can do so without danger or peril to yourself or to others (California, Florida, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Minnesota, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.) In certain scenarios, the law may impose a duty upon you to help rescues someone else who is in danger. Those situations are generally as follows:

Involuntary manslaughter. But it's Florida. The state of Florida currently does not have a law where a citizen is obligated to render aid or call for help for anyone in distress.

Change that law!!!
