#Roommates, what is going on in our country? A disturbing video shows five Florida teens laughing and making fun of a disabled man drowning instead of running to help him!
According to NBC Miami, the video shows 31-year-old Jamel Dunn crying desperately out for help while the teens watched him die from afar.
At one point in the video, one of the teens told the man he’s “going to die.” Another laughed and said, “he dead.”
Jamel drowned on July 9 after getting into it with his fiancee. His body was recovered on July 14 after a missing persons report was filed.
The Brevard County State Attorney’s Office released a statement saying that they are “deeply saddened and shocked” but won’t be charging the teens who are between the ages of 14 and 16.
“While the incident depicted on the recording does not give rise to sufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution under Florida statutes, we can find no moral justification for either the behavior of persons heard on the recording or the deliberate decision not to render aid to Mr. Dunn,” the office said.
According to USA Today, Jamel reportedly walked in the water on his own.
“The kids were at the park that day smoking marijuana and apparently saw him walk into the water,” Martinez told the newspaper. “They were watching him.”
According to a GoFundMe page created by Jamel’s family members he has a disability and walks with a cane.
