Watch: “Merry Christmas!” Homeless Man Beaten, Video Posted To YouTube
Two young men, one 20-years old and one 17-years old, have been arrested and stand accused of beating a homeless man and filming the attack, then posting the video to YouTube. In the video they can be seen planning their violent attack, and also heard saying, “Merry Christmas!” to the homeless man who was camping in a New Jersey forest.
The Raw Story reports:
“About to go beat up this bum,†Giresi says as the video begins.
After pushing the homeless man to the ground, the suspect kicks him in the head. As the homeless man gets up, he is hit with a rock and falls again.
“Take his bike,†the cameraman says.
“No, I need my bike!†the man exclaims.
In a second video, Giresi is seen tackling the homeless man from behind. Blood is flowing from his nose as he stands up.
“Oh, my God, you’re bleeding!†the teen cameraman says sarcastically. “We didn’t mean to do that. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Wipe off the blood.â€
Giresi then reaches out with his arms as if to give the homeless man a hug, but instead gives him a knee to the stomach.
As the man begins to scream, Giresi delivers one last flying kick to the head before turning to leave.
“See ya, later,†the cameraman remarks at the end of the first video. “Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or whatever the fuck you are.â€
