My answer.....because this is a kid who severely snapped and has some serious anger issues.

Chuck - I've double-checked this post for mis-spellings as well, none found. Rest easy.
Go back and watch the fight closely. Go on, I'll wait. After the Lawrence kid dropped to the floor, the Witchita kid isn't looking at anything but his head, which is moving because of the blows. If you're watching from a distance, the angle the camera gives us, you can plainly see the kid not fighting back. But that's not what the Witchita kid is seeing.

I'm not saying what he did is right, and I'm not excusing it, but everybody who is piling on about how unconscienable his behavior for continuing to pummel an unconscious opponent needs set their outrage aside and actually think about whether the Witchita kid realized the other kid was unconscious or not.

There is no doubt that the kid snapped. But your diagnosis of "serious anger issues" sounds to be based more on your book of "no excuse for violent actions" than from any actual knowledge about this kid. In other words, based on emotion and not actual facts.
