Benjamin Franklin High School, Highland Park, California.

On Sept. 30, 2026, Xavier Nungarary leapt to his death from the 4th floor balcony into the school’s courtyard.  What led up to it and what was the response to this suicide?

Witnesses state that Xavier suddenly jumped over the railing after being beaten in his classroom.  The teacher in the class failed to stop the fight.  After being punched for a final time, Xavier ran out of the classroom.  Mark chased after him.  Before he could land another blow, Xavier threw himself over the railing.  This led to his fatal fall.

Xavier Nungarary ran, then jumped to his death.  Mark Nugal (who chased him to the railing, looks on.)

The school also failed to tell the parents their son was dead, saying that he was in the hospital.

The mainstream media has also failed to name the bully.  EricReports.com is doing so.  The MSM and the school originally reported the incident as an accidental fall.  Why is this?

Mark Nugal is a person of color.  To quote Bernie Goldberg, “It does not fit the narrative.”

Mark Nugal has not been charged or arrested despite the public outcry.
