A Black Texas Teen Was Attacked With Stun Gun By Group Of Students Dressed As KKK Members
A Black teen was attacked and tased on Halloween by other teens that were dressed in Ku Klux Klan robes, according to a lawyer.
At a press conference earlier this week, attorney Matt Manning announced the event where his client and other high school students were ambushed happened in Woodsboro, Texas.
“For you to dress up as a Klansman, you have a specific intent of terrorizing. That’s not an accident,” Manning said, the AP reported. “That’s not kids being kids. That’s not boys being boys. That’s not hazing or high school hijinks. High school hijinks are egging somebody’s house, not dressing up as a Klansman and tasing them.”
Manning reported that his client did not endure serious injuries, augmenting that although the other five victims were not tased during the attack, they may have been intimidated, according to the AP. None of the victims or any other active students were publicly identified due to them being juveniles.
In a Facebook post, last Sunday Manning referred to the incident as”‘an act of terror, hate, and injury” and slammed the school for allowing the accused teens to play in a football game following the allegations.

“It is abhorrent, indefensible, and inexcusable, and we demand answers. Now,” the post said. “We also demand a thorough and honest investigation into these heinous crimes by the Woodsboro PD, the Refugio County Sheriff’s Office, the Refugio County Juvenile Probation Office, and any and all other law enforcement agencies involved.”
