Teens’ story claiming they were attacked unravels after cops find their damning video posted to social media, police say
California police say that three teenagers told them a story that unraveled after the discovery of allegedly contradicting video on social media.
The incident unfolded after a mother in Twentynine Palms called police to report that her 15-year-old child had been attacked by their neighbor, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
One of the teens also tried to ignite curtains to start a fire before they left the residence.
When deputies arrived, they found three teenagers claiming to be victims of assault.
After determining that one of the teen’s accounts had been fabricated, police said they discovered a video on social media that showed what actually happened.
The video allegedly showed two girls and a boy brutally attacking a man who has an intellectual disability. Police said one of the girls slashed the victim’s head and arms with a large kitchen knife while he pleaded for his life.
One of the teens also tried to ignite curtains to start a fire before they left the residence.
Deputies obtained search warrants for the residences of the victim and all of the suspects, and they were able to obtain evidence of the assault, including the kitchen knife.
One of the teenage girls claimed that she suffered lacerations from being attacked by the man, but police determined that she was injured by punching through the actual victim’s window.
The three teens were booked into the San Bernardino County Juvenile Detention Center.

Police are asking for help from the public in their ongoing investigation into the case.

These stats don’t lie: How DEI is dragging down quarterbacks across the NFL
You’ve heard of DEI in the workforce, but DEI in the National Football League isn’t all that different of a ball game. And after looking at the stats, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock determines it’s been doing far more damage than good.
In 2018, 19 quarterbacks averaged more than 250 passing yards per game. Now, in 2025, there are only five quarterbacks who average more than 250 passing yards per game.
“There are five quarterbacks that average more than 250 passing yards per game: Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, Patrick Mahomes, and Drake Maye. … What are we watching? What is going on with the National Football League?” Whitlock asks, disturbed.
“Has gambling and fantasy football distracted us so much and covered up all the flaws of the National Football League that we’re sitting here watching … quarterback play go directly into the toilet, and we’re pretending like we don’t see it at all,” he continues.
However, Whitlock has a theory as to why this is happening.
“My contention is, the hyperfocus on DEI and black quarterback play has diminished merit, has diminished competition, has undermined the pursuit of excellence for the pursuit of quotas. And everybody’s play has dropped because of the hyperfocus on DEI,” Whitlock explains.
“DEI degrades everything in sight, including the National Football League,” he adds.
In 2018, Whitlock points out that there were three black quarterbacks who had more than 250 passing yards.
“Now, we’re in this time in 2025 where there are 14 black quarterbacks who have started eight or more games, and only two black quarterbacks are averaging more than 250 yards per game,” he explains.
“So, we’ve increased the number of black quarterbacks playing, but we’ve decreased the number of black quarterbacks playing at a high level. Once you quit pursuing excellence, everybody gets hurt, even the black quarterbacks,” he says.
“DEI isn’t elevating the play of black quarterbacks. It’s actually diminishing the play of all quarterbacks,” he continues. “Coaches, organizations — they’re not thinking about, how can we be the best we can possibly be.”
