This is the really amazing part of the story, and one that gets little notice.
The gun-puller got no charge but the black kids get attempted murder, using rubber soled shoes. The kid would have been in way worse shape if they were really trying to kill him.
The whole thing is amazing, but different groups having their own spot to hang out at (NPunI) is not that unusual. Look at prisons. Different racial groups keep to themselves and zealously protect territory. Not exactly right or exemplary but it's going to happen, for a long time to come.
