Arizona FIJI Beaten To Death Over A Selfie While Visiting Greece
Recent University of Arizona graduate, Austin, TX resident, and Phi Gamma Delta alumni, Bakari Henderson, was visiting the Greek Island of Zakynthos over the weekend to work on a few photoshoots to help promote the start of his own business venture where he planned on getting into the clothing line game. Tragically, he will not be coming back home to live out his entrepreneurial dreams.
Henderson was brutally beaten to death Friday night outside of a sports bar after an argument broke out when he took a selfie with a female waitress. Eight different men have been arrested and now face voluntary manslaughter charges.
From CBS News:
Witnesses reportedly told police he and his friends wanted to take a photo with the waitress, which angered one of the bouncers. Police say at least 10 people followed Henderson out of the bar, including the bouncer and another employee. They are accused of beating Henderson and leaving him unconscious in the street.
The nightlife in an area of the island, known as Laganas, attracts a rowdier crowd, according to author and travel writer Eleni Gage.
Just an incredibly heart-wrenching story. Henderson, by all accounts, was an extremely charismatic cat with a good head on his shoulders and a generally friendly demeanor. But none of that matters if you run into the wrong person at the wrong time. It sounds like this bouncer was that wrong person.
And let’s just put it out there: Henderson is a good looking, young, black kid from the States. Is there any doubt his skin color played a major factor in this senseless murder? I know we have our own racial issues that we need to overcome on this side of the Atlantic, but it honestly pales in comparison to the rest of the world. Just something to keep in mind when you’re traveling.
Our thoughts are with the Henderson family and his friends and fraternity brothers at Arizona. Hopefully these scumbags in Greece are brought to justice.
P!.

7 years ago at 4:48 pmI read the Greek and neighboring countries press regarding this incident and they write that Henderson was really drunk and was harassing a girl in front of a bar and when she yelled for help, the group of guys started to interfere because of that and not because of a selfie. I’m in no way justifying the act or what happened, it is indeed horrifying and barbaric but I just find it interesting how differently the same story is presented by two different sources/perspectives and I’m not sure which one is true.
7 years ago at 1:45 pmHonestly probably damage control. Prove something he did or don’t say anything foreign press.
7 years ago at 3:05 pmAlright big dog let’s pull out our thinking caps and try not to be unempathetic douches. The Greek Press is obviously going to spin the story to make their citizens look better to the international community, so that’s not really a reliable source. Also Greece and other Eastern European countries are racist as shit, and I’m not saying this cause I read it on Vice or some sensationalized bs source. When I visited Greece last year they made monkey noises and looked at me like I was a leprocy ridden peasant and I’m one of those privileged fucks who strictly wears collared shirts and sperrys
I’m not claiming I know this kid but I do know he graduated as a Panhellenic greek from a southern PWI. And that might not mean anything to a lot of you but I’m telling you as black republican who graduated from a similar pwi with heavy Greek life, you just know not be belligerent to white women. You just don’t. Especially if this man had enough sense to be an international entrepreneur. And even if he did do what they said why would you defend those European buttsuckers over one of your own, not only as an American but as a fellow greek. So fuck you for trying to justify this barbarism and you can smbbc on soft bro
7 years ago at 3:14 pmGiven the way you speak, you don’t seem like someone who uses a thinking cap a lot. I completely agree that Eastern European press could be doing damage control and trying to defend their own. The history there is quite blurry and they do it all the time. And as much as there are a lot of awesome people and places in that part of the world, unfortunately, there are also a lot of idiots just like anywhere else on this planet. And like I said I’m in no way defending or justifying what had happened, and I’m not saying that the story above is false.
7 years ago at 4:00 pmWhat I know is that Eastern European countries are traditionally respectful of women and big on masculinity and the male role of protection. If you think they bully rapist in the US you should see what they do to them over there. Even if the victim was a respectful student, people still do stupid shit when intoxicated. And if the victim was harassing the girl in any way, it is very believable that the big Slavic machoism kicked in and they did what they did.
And what I’m saying is that just like Eastern European press is known to hush up their dirty work, US press is not any better, and it is always turning everything into a racial perspective and pretending to be innocent in a lot of situations when it’s not. So if you read what I’ve said with a bit more open-mindedness you would see that I’m not defending or accusing anyone, I’m just saying that there are two sides to the stories, both plausible and I’m just choosing not to trust either one until more concrete information about the case is presented.
Say less
7 years ago at 11:16 pmToo buzzed for this shit
7 years ago at 11:16 pmYeah idk why I commented on this story anyway.
People like you represent a solid half of all the people I’ve associated with throughout my life and the thing is you prolly aren’t a bad person and the people who downvoted this comment but upvoted the fuck out of my “kim kardashian has enough black man sperm to make a division 1 basketball team” prolly aren’t that bad either but you’ll just never see it from my perspective. I can see it from your perspective cause I’ve gone to private school with you for years, called guys like you my best friends, gone on trips across the world with you, even got your fathers to like me, which you and I both know wasn’t easy. So I have lived in your world but you have never and will never attempt to live in mine, and if I were you I’d do the same.
God bless and have a nice night,

You’ll be back. They always come back.
7 years ago at 9:18 amNah blacktrump, I just come here for two simple things. Tits and humor. Neither of which you’re supplying, therefore, i’m out.
7 years ago at 11:16 pmThere are a lot of facts being left out of your story:
1. The man from Austin was hitting on a girl in front of the bar where he got kicked out of due to drunk behavior
2. The white girl told him NO couple of times and tried to leave
3. He started beating her up 20 meters from the bar
4. Two Serbs jumped in and protected her
5. The victim grabbed a bottle and slashed on of the Serb’s face
6. Couple of other Serbs started chasing him down the street
7. At one point he tripped and fell down.. The Serbs soccer kicked him couple of times as a payback for him injuring the girl and their friend
Here are couple of other facts:
1. The victim was not working over there, he’s been visiting the Greek island for a vacation purposes for many years now
7 years ago at 2:18 pm2. He tried to start a fight with security guards two times that night, which was the reason for them to kick him out of the bar.
Provide sources. The way I reported it is the same story I’m seeing on every major American news outlet.
7 years ago at 2:40 pmDan I’d say American news outlets might be a little biased considering he’s American, no ones going to write about the American who was being a sack of shit and got killed for it.
Obviously tragic what happened but I mean come on..
7 years ago at 2:45 pmAnd Greek outlets are going to run the kid’s name through the mud so it doesn’t appear that he was just killed for being black. I’ve read the reports from British outlets, too. Same story that I reported.
7 years ago at 2:50 pm2 sides of a story then the truth I guess. I’m sure it was a mixture of both, I also read he was beaten with brass knuckles.. So that’s a bit overkill I’d say. Shitty situation nonetheless.
7 years ago at 2:52 pmRegardless of source, major news outlets always have a political lean and a “need” to explain their interpretation of events. We won’t see an unbiased source; everyone is reporting good guy vs bad guy. The good guy is the one most similar to the target audience.
7 years ago at 3:08 pm“Facts?” I have no idea how you can label anything as “fact” unless you were actually there. Also, not sure why you would spend your time making a list of damning accusations of someone who had just passed away. Anyways, here is a link to the local newspaper from the island of Zakynthos where the incident occurred. You’ll see that the young man was senselessly beaten over a petty squabble:

7 years ago at 6:27 pmI’m really disappointed in you TFM. Based on no evidence, you went ahead and blamed it on race. You are Fake News.
7 years ago at 4:45 pmFuck Greece
7 years ago at 9:05 pmThe other angle is he is American and the aggressors were Serbian. Likely nationality played a part. We were at war against each other less than 20 years ago. Serbs in general are anti- American.
7 years ago at 9:38 amSerbs in general are the last people you’d want to take on in a bar fight. They killed a lot of Nazis with limited assistance from the Allies.
