A teen spread a racist video of a black classmate eating chicken; Both face criminal charges

The video was humiliating and racist, and it had spread to other students at the speed of the Internet. So the black teenager who was called racial slurs while he ate chicken took matters into his own hands, with violent results.

It was early October, a few weeks after the start of classes at Saucon Valley High School, 75 miles north of Philadelphia. The 16-year-old student was at a pep rally, participating in a chicken wing eating contest, his attorney said.

Nearby, a white student, a 14-year-old underclassman, pulled out his phone and started filming.
