A man accused of fatally shooting a 15-year-old last year was beaten by members of the teen’s family during a courtroom melee in San Antonio, authorities said.

Victor Rivas, 18, who is charged with murder in the May 2022 death of Ethan Soto, was in a Bexar County courtroom Friday awaiting a preliminary hearing when he was attacked.

Rivas’ attorney, Adam LaHood, said his client was “going to be bruised and swollen” but was not otherwise injured.

Four people — two men and two juveniles — were arrested and will be charged with assault and disrupting court proceedings, the Bexar County sheriff’s office said. Their names haven’t been released.

        I evaluated these and most were confusing comments about happening and not happening. -120 on a Lemmy comment is pretty severe though, so maybe I should evaluate the context.

            “feeding a troll” is taking them seriously or getting upset. I haven’t done that.

          I beg of you stop spreading dangerous misinformation. It’s NOT happening and it’s good (that it is happening).

                  You can’t feel your typing fingys on krok, clearly he’s on amphetamines based on the lack of typos and length of his roll
