Man who confronted the teen who assaulted his daughter is beaten to death with a bat

[quote] Serbeck and his daughter went to speak with Hannah on April 20, according to the release.

[quote] The male teen met Serbeck at the door, and the release states that at some point the exchange between the two turned physical.

[quote] "J.H. is alleged to have struck Serbeck in the head several times with a metal baseball bat," the release states. "It is further alleged that [Hannah], who was present and joined the fight, struck Serbeck in the back of the head with a metal flashlight."

[quote] The release notes that J.H. "suffered facial injuries," and that he also struck Serbeck's daughter in the head with a bat.

[quote] Officers with the Vineland Police Department soon arrived on the scene along with emergency medical service workers.

[quote] After assessing Serbeck's injuries, EMS rushed him to the local hospital in Vineland, where he would receive a medical evacuation to Cooper Hospital in Camden, located approximately 40 miles north.

[quote] However, Serbeck died en route, according to the release.

[quote] A GoFundMe created in hopes of helping Serbeck's two surviving daughters pay for his funeral services has already exceeded its initial goal of $10,000.

[quote] The creator of that fundraiser describes Serbeck as the "bravest, caring, outgoing, warmhearted, funny, and most protective men to be known."

People nowdays are fucking crazy.

Never confront them on your own.

In a case like this, the dad should have contacted the police about the assault, and just let them handle it.

White 🗑️

This is a refreshing change from the usual "Don't tell me they're _____" narrative usually brought up in such trash episodes.

Maybe DL has matured in the new Trump era?

[quote]Eric Hannah and an unnamed 17-year-old boy identified as "J.H."

Hmmmm. I wonder if the unnamed 17-year-old boy's last name could be Hannah?

The Post, thank goodness, has no problem saying that JH is the son Jacob.

OMG at R5, daddy was hot!

17 year old Jacob Hannah is decidedly not hot.

They even beat up the daughter.

Why would this pretty girl even think of going out with that violent slob at R7?

The victim was an enthusiastic flat earth conspiracy theorist.

Oh lord.

Scots Irish trash, obviously.

Told you we were hardcore.

South Jersey is full of "dtrump white trash Maga true believers".

R10 Serbeck or hannah are NOT Irish names u ignorant asshole.

Toxicity all around. But the dead guy went over to their house in order to attack them and give them a physical beat down. And he started to. At that point, all bets are off. NJ doesn’t have a Florida style Stand Your Ground law but it won’t be hard to find a jury who acquits.

Do U feel like an ignorant asshole now, r13?

[QUOTE]The surname Hannah is of Irish and Scottish origin, stemming from the Gaelic surname Ó hAnnaidh, meaning "descendant of Annach".

And the trashy behavior tracks. While "Culture of Honor" by Richard Nisbett was written about Southern Scots Irish, it applies.

R14 the little POS beat the crap out of his daughter. No one gets two black eyes from "drunken antics". What, she walked into a door too many times? Sure, it wasn't the most responsible decision confronting him alone like that, but I can see many fathers responding (or at least wanting to respond) the same way. My sister was violently date raped in high school by an older guy, and when my father found out we had to beg him to not kill the man--like, he was trying to get a gun from a friend. And we were the farthest thing from "white trash".

Violent psychopaths'll do that.

I would hate to have a daughter. What a nightmare.

Broken people making more broken people.

R16 who knows what’s true. The details (yeah I read the whole damn mess) have the dead dad’s daughter telling one story and the younger sister in the other family telling a totally different story saying it was the 19yo girl who was drunk and violent and refused to leave their house that night.

Good luck trying to find the truth when it goes to trial. Teenage girls are THE WORST at starting and fomenting conflicts and then putting out spin afterwards that claims only the other side is at fault.

Oh, it happened in New Jersey? That explains everything. Trash central.

The only surprise was that it didn't happen in Florida.

As Betty Broderick once said (or we said she said it) If you don't want to dance, don't take me to the prom. Dad took the guy to the prom and he fucking well made him dance. Why was she spending the night, drunk, at her boyfriend's house? I agree with R20, teen girls really do do this, it's too bad. He should have called the cops. I believe it was probably the daughter, and the girl was mad because the boyfriend had her thrown out, so she made up a story and all this happened now. And of course the obligatory go fund me...it's how dumb people pay for things.

[quote] In a case like this, the dad should have contacted the police about the assault, and just let them handle it.

Are you for real? And they would have done what?

They would have NOT gotten him beaten to death, at least.

R20 She was so drunk and violent she punched herself in both eyes? Spare me.

R26 No, the sister of the guy she liked punched her. Read the article.

R27 It said the sister punched her? That's not what I read. What I read was that according to the dead guy's daughter, the boyfriend beat her, and according to the boyfriend's sister, she said the girl did it herself due to "drunken antics".

R28 it’s in the Post article. Not saying either side is 100% truthful but there are two extremely different tales being told, so how do we know. Some excerpts:

=======

But the Hannah family tells a vastly different side of things – claiming that Brooke’s bruises came from her own drunken antics, and that when she lied to her father about what happened he threw the first punch at the teen boy.

“This all started on Saturday at 3 in the morning,” said 14-year-old Alana Hannah, who said Brooke was hanging at their house with friends that night.

When the family tried to throw her out, Alana said Brooke started shoving people and pulling hair.

“So I punched her in the face,” Alana said, laying claim to the black eyes. “I honestly wouldn’t have punched her if she didn’t grab my hair, but she grabbed my hair, so I punched her.”

Brooke was eventually thrown out, Alana said, but the next day she showed up with her furious dad – who she said threw the first punch.

From there it devolved, Alana said, with her brother grabbing a bat to defend himself while Serbeck went for a length of pipe, the Hannah family claimed. The two circled and swung at each other in the yard – with Brooke even jumping in and pulling more hair, Alana added.

======

No winners here. All garbage.

Trashy families

The world of heterosexual is a sick and boring life!

This is what happens when people think it’s a point of pride to never ever deescalate a conflict, always escalate it.

Scots Irish trash.

Thank you R28. I'm R27, I knew I read that. So yeah, this chick is shitfaced at a boy's house (nice parenting) and I believe the sister that she was getting rambunctious and out of control. I don't believe a guy hit her, I believe the sister did it. And I think the girl was so mad that the guy didn't let her stay, and let his sis kick her out, that she told her dad it was him. I'm sure she never meant for all this to happen, she probably did want her dad to hit him though. I guess we'll never know, she'll never admit it now. I just don't see a high school kid punching a girl in the face, especially if she's not even his girlfriend or someone he is into.

Shit, I meant R29 thank you for posting the blurb.

Honestly I don't give a shit about the backstory, just the metal bat beating and the flashlight braining. Hope they both get life or fry

I hope Daughter Dearest feels racked with guilt because her poor father lost his life over nothing. If she truly was assaulted by this boy and his family, she should have called the police. I don't know why some women want to put their male family members in such dangerous situations like this. She knew how violent the boyfriend was. If someone assaults you, call the police immediately. Now, her father is dead. This is such an awful situation all around but totally preventable. The fat greasy boyfriend with the baseball bat should be thrown under the jail. He's clearly unfit to be in society because he can't control himself. There are no winners here. One man lost his life and two more have lost their freedom.

Sad. Got killed being a standup guy. This is where my gun would have come in handy.

One less flat earther.

Toxic masculinity takes a life.

R3 OR the paid trolls were money well spent and no longer needed after November 5th.

r41, the DL custom that r3 refers to went back to at least the 2000s.

All of you miss the part where the family member of the accused provided video of the event to police who in turn used that footage to justify the arrest.

He looked good for a grandfather

A flat Earther?? Some people really are too stupid to live.

The "boyfriend" is really fucking hideous.

"Fun-loving flat-earther" 😂😂😂😂😂

I hope this line was straight off of his dating profile.

R35 “I do t see a high school kid punching a girl in the face”

Are you new to the planet and the horrible things people of all ages do to other people, especially women, every day?

You can’t see a high school kid punching a girl in the face despite the fact that he bludgeoned a guy to death?

The misogyny on DL is sometimes a bit much.

All of these people are some [bold]serious[/bold] white trash.

[bold]Serious.[/bold]

Out of the dictionary.

R43 What are you saying? The accused as in the kid who beat the guy to death or the accused as in the kid who didn't punch her after all? What arrest?

Tore up from the floor up,

This story has everything.

[quote]This is such an awful situation

Now, that's just not true. We have at least two fewer votes for Trump, possibly as many as four if the DA prosecutes the minors as adults.

[quote] Teenage girls are THE WORST at starting and fomenting conflicts and then putting out spin afterwards that claims only the other side is at fault.

yes, I am sure she is to blame. She must have given herself the black eyes and blamed it. Or else, she must have been asking for it!

This isn't the 80s anymore.

You do not go over to someone's house to confront them about something like this. They could have had any weapon at their disposal and people are much crazier now than back then.

That's not excusing what the guy did, you just have to be safe.

Also, once you decide to beat someone up by hitting them in the head with a bat repeatedly then you are clearly trying to kill them. If they had of went for the legs or anywhere else that would imply they just wanted him to back off.

R43 why do you trust the sister? What makes her more trustworthy than any other person in the story? Why would the dead man’s daughter lie about who punched her? To get back at the teenage boy for rejecting her? I doubt that. She was clearly out of his league looks wise.

it’s some major projection to read this case and jump to the conclusion that the dead man’s teenage daughter manipulated this whole situation, and not only that , to conclude that this teenager holds more responsibility in the situation than the people who swung the bat and flashlight, or the full grown man who initiated the confrontation

[quote] If they had of went for the legs or anywhere else that would imply they just wanted him to back off.

"Gone for," not "had of went." Also, comma after the word "else." Also, "would have implied" instead of "would imply."

"If they had GONE FOR the legs or anywhere else, that would have implied ..."

Yeah — they attacked him with intent to kill.

But it won’t be surprising if a jury acquits. Dead dad went to their house to start shit and beat up the son. He had a long history of beating people up and being proud of it. This wasn’t going to be a mere conversation on their doorstep.

R57 Unfortunately you are absolutely right.

R60 There is absolutely no chance for a self-defense plea at this point. The guy retreated back to his car to try and leave and they came after him again in the car, beating his head in with the flashlight. It's not self defense when the person is trying to get away.
