DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. – It began with a brawl outside a house party. A woman hit a man, and the man refused to strike back, saying he wouldn’t hit a girl. Instead, he vowed to attack the next male who walked by, even if that person was a random stranger.
That’s when 18-year-old Bobby Tillman happened to approach a group of four partygoers. Authorities said they swiftly stomped, kicked and punched him to death while dozens of bystanders watched.
“He had nothing to do with anything,” said Maj. Tommy Wheeler of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department. “They just decided he’s the one. And they killed him.”
