BECAUSE HE WANTED TO PROTECT HIS SON.
A Maryland father has been brutally beaten to death for trying to protect his son from a group of teenagers and adults.
As the “New York Post reported,” Christopher Wright (43) stepped outside his house last Friday when the beating troop showed up there and asked for his 14-year-old son. Previously, he had gotten into a fight at his school, which his opponents wanted to continue.

But Chris refused to take his son outside, his fiancee Tracy Karopchinsky tells WBAL-TV. The thugs’ answer: “If he doesn’t come out, then you’ll have to fight!”
Then they attacked the defenseless man and beat him up. After the attack, Chris was taken to a hospital in the region with a traumatic brain injury.
Karopchinsky continued: “If you look at the damage inflicted on him, it wasn’t just one hit. The hospital couldn’t do anything more.” After the brutal attack, Wright suffered a seizure, according to his fiancé.
The fatal blows were recorded by a surveillance camera at the house, as the “New York Post” further reports. Karopchinsky later wanted to watch the material with her father. Right at the beginning, it was seen how another son (12) ran out of the house to help his father, screaming, “Dad, Daddy, Daddy.” Karopchinsky: “I couldn’t watch a bit more of it. I just couldn’t.”
“You didn’t just ruin our lives.”
Brooklyn Park Middle School officials also confirmed the brawl at the school after the fatal assault. The local Anne Arundel County Police Department will be assisted in their investigation. Unfortunately, no charges have yet been filed against the thugs involved.
Now alone with the three children, Widow Tracy appealed to society: “You didn’t just ruin our lives. Her life will change forever too. Her parents’ lives will change forever. With such children, we fail as parents. This is not the school’s responsibility. That is our responsibility.”
To help the family and ensure the children a happy future, a fundraiser was set up on the GoFundMe platform. Of the targeted $20,000, almost $14,000 has now been reache
