Mother: Son beaten after football game, hospitalized for pro-police views

SYLACAUGA, Ala. (WIAT) — Tensions continue to mount in the community after a teenager was brutally attacked after a Friday night football game.

Sylacauga Police confirm a fight stemming from that attack broke out at the school at lunch today.

We’ve been working all day to get more information on the assault that led 17-year-old Brian Ogle to be hospitalized after being transported by lifeflight to UAB with critical injuries. Police say it happened over a fight when a group of students wore “Black Lives Matter’ t-shirts on Patriotic Day during homecoming week.

Ogle’s mother tells us her son was pro-police and became a target for his views.

A large group of students cornered him in a parking lot Friday night and assaulted him, causing skull fractures and internal bleeding.

“We do have a lot of names that are coming to us that some of the kids recognize that were there. And there’s more than one. There’s gonna be less than 60 I’m sure. We know there are multiple assailants. And we’re gonna do everything that we can to get them picked up,” Sylacauga Police Chief Kelley Johnson said.

Johnson says the fight at the school Monday was minor, and the victim was not injured. It happened where there was no supervision.

We’ve spoken to some parents, who say they are frustrated about the school system’s lack of communication with them and students. The principal of Sylacauga High School said he couldn’t talk to us today.

The superintendent of the school system released the following statement:

"This afternoon I was made aware of an incident on the campus of Sylacauga High School. I am investigating this incident and will take appropriate disciplinary action based on the findings. This past week we have experienced some difficult days in our schools and community. Last Wednesday security was increased at the high school and a lockdown was implemented in response to a verbal altercation among students the day before. There were no further incidents the remainder of the school week until the police were called to respond to an off-campus crime in which one of our high school students was seriously injured. This crime is still under investigation by the Sylacauga Police Department. “Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen security on campus and I will use the full measure of my authority to maintain a safe environment for our students. Those who violate school rules and create a disturbance on campus will be subject to disciplinary action, including and up to expulsion. I expect every student that attends our schools to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner that includes respect for themselves and their fellow students.”

Sounds like Black on White gang violence, as who else would care about BLM?. That wasn’t mentioned in the original article I read about this in the morning.

Once traditional law and order is shredded, sharia law will prevail.

I fined it interesting that the school called the police for the problem, yet the superintendent of the school system mentioned it happened off campus.

He also mentioned that the schools would take appropriate disipline actions. If it happened off campus, unless his system is in control of the students safety for a friday night event in an uncontrolled parking lot, which I doubt, he has nothing in his capacity to cover attempted murder. Detention?

And what is he going to investigate? This is a felony. He should be told by the police doing the investigation to stay the heck out of the way. This is a clear case of immature students, with only a partial idea of people’s rights, using violence and disrespect as a tool to force their opinion, right or wrong. And this is what BLM has been displaying to these, too young kids. They should be proud. They have set the problem back 60 years to the times of the Black Panthers, Huey Newton, Malcom X, Bobby Hutton, Eldridge Cleaver, Louis Farrakhan, and a number more that I thought we had gotten past and could use our intelligence to take care of the problem though discussion and compromise.

But the problem through the idiotic actions of sports athletes, law enforcement, and a continual bombardment of pieces of information, along with the horrible actions utilized by higher government trying so hard to point a finger at half of the problem, has created a confusion of facts to youth and this is what happens. Thanks Obama and your “justice” system. You are a fallacy and not a leader, but a joiner letting a color problem that you display, get in the way. Thanks a lot, you moron.

You have seen videos from ,say, Memphis Tn. where a gang of yutes was attacking people at a Kroger. One enterprising young thig was standing on a 17 year old stockboy’s white head, then took to kicking it like a football.2 years ago.
Wonder whatever became of both of those players in a state near Alabama. And then the Waffle House Attack in North Mississippi about 3 or 4 years ago. A group of racially charged late night haters followed a pair of white men from one restaurant to a waffle House and beat one the same way, kicking the head when the recently returned veteran was down.
