Back in 2012 Austin McDaniel was a 13 year old boy from Indiana who was quite fond of video games and playing the guitar. Some time in September of the same year he had the unfortunate experience of being viciously assaulted at school in front of other students.
McDaniel was choked from behind and knocked unconscious via punches to the head. All of which was caught on a security camera at the time.
