Whitlock: Democrats sentence black children to ‘Lord of the Flies’ existence

Beelzebub killed James Lambert, a 73-year-old Philadelphia man.

Beelzebub is one of the seven princes of hell. In biblical times, Beelzebub was a god worshiped in Ekron. He could fly. Beelzebub means Satan. In popular culture, he’s known as Lord of the Flies.

The video of seven children stoning and beating James Lambert to death in the streets of Philly reminded me of the iconic 1954 William Golding novel "Lord of the Flies."

The book explores the barbaric and cannibalistic descent of a large group of young boys who survive an airplane crash on an uninhabited island. "Lord of the Flies" features seven main characters: Ralph, Jack, Simon, Piggy, Roger, Sam, and Eric. The initial alliance among the boys disintegrates into chaos as they’re overtaken by paranoia about an imaginary monster, “the beast.”
