bump for a later comment...
I didn’t want to watch the video. It was on BOR last night and I saw it anyway. It made a lump rise in my throat and I felt SO bad for that kid.....and REALLY pissed me off.I would be ON FIRE for some kind of justice, i’ll tell you that.
If Megyn the spitfire had been on that bus, things might have turned out differently.
Punish the other kids as well?
The other kids on the bus were potential victims. I got my 13 year old daughter on the bus this morning.
Never in a million years would I advise her to get involved and try and stop a fight like that.
Sheesh!
Jimma Carter must have seen this video on TV or in the news, but, still made that comment that white people didn’t vote for Obama because of “ Racism “ ....
Racist!
; )
Sadly nothing will happen. My guess is that any civil lawsuit against the perps will not be successful, and the school system down to the bus driver probably has sovereign immunity.
A civil lawsuit would be useless because you can’t get blood out of a turnup. What are you going to do take their public housing and food stamps away?
Lord of the flies
The Legal expert opinion disturbs me. According to him, those poor boys just need a little counseling. That is one of the main causes of this type of behavior. The scum bag doesn’t want anything to happen to the little darlings. He knows the animals will be in court in the near future.
Yeah they are animals but notice what is not said? This is where the left has the GOP/right by the balls. Race. All too typical of the GOP and Holder was right. By and large cowards when it comes to race. You are flat out stupid if you can’t imagine the “news” and the national conversation if the only thing different were the races. The Marxist are using race as the battering ram of destruction and unless we embrace it they will destroy us. The left keeps the right by and large always defending against “racism”. Meanwhile the racial stratosphere is what fills their ranks. Wake Up.
Don’t most schools have a policy you can’t defend yourself in a fight and your friends can’t help you either? You have to wait for an adult? What a load of garbage that is.
Animals? Cue the little kid shouting “that’s racist!”
The worst part...the most dangerous part, and the most irresponsible part is that, in the eyes of the school, if the kids around intervene, they are treated no differently than the attacker. And even worse, the KID WHO IS BEING ATTACKED WOULD PROBABLY GET PUNISHED FOR DEFENDING HIMSELF.
In our state, the law says that you are guilty of an infraction if you “participate in a fight”. That’s almost criminal, and in this day and age, downright dangerous.
Imagine a 4.0 kid who does his work and is never in trouble. Now, imagine a punk who makes “F”’s and doesn’t care if he gets punished (or in some cases, actually WANTS to be kicked out of school).
If the bully doesn’t care to get punished, he’s just given himself a big advantage. He can beat the 4.0 kid at will and expect to not encounter any resistance. And if the 4.0 kid fights back, he will be given the same punishment as the bully!
I REALLY want some parent to sue over this. I think if a kid gets really hurt, they could prove that the school didn’t protect the kid, and that they prohibited the kid from protecting himself.
It is criminal. It really is.
