Innocent Florida father is under attack by left-wing activists and local agitators after stepping in to defend his son from a violent bully
Despite law enforcement confirming that the father acted completely within the law to protect himself and his child, outraged activists, including local branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), are demanding that the father be locked up for assault with a deadly weapon.
According to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek, the dispute began Thursday, September 17, on a Martin County school bus headed toward South Fork High School, WPBF reported.
A 16-year-old boy boarded with a pizza. A 14-year-old got on after him, demanded a piece, threatened him, and then smacked him in the head when the older boy would not hand it over.
The 16-year-old did what parents tell their kids to do. He went home and told his father.
That afternoon, the father went to the bus stop and spoke with the driver. She said she would try to handle it.
Friday morning, the father drove his son to the stop himself. The 14-year-old was already on the bus. As the boy boarded, the father again spoke with the driver, and the 14-year-old got off the bus to confront a grown man.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek made it clear during a press briefing that the father committed no crime and acted entirely within his constitutional rights under Florida law, according to WPFB.
“To recap it, the individual with the gun was the victim in this case,” Budensiek said. “He just wants to be left alone. He wants his son to be left alone.”
“You are allowed to stand your ground whether the person coming after you is 16 or 24 or 34… He’s legally allowed to stand his ground.”

If the Dad’s brandishing of the gun was not assault under Fl law, there is no assault. Period.
NAACP is worse than SPLC.
We must follow the lead this father showed us....stand up to tyranny..
Since when is food allowed on the school bus? That aside I have a suggestion. Limited reparations in exchange for a return to integration being strictly on a volunteer basis. Make freedom of association matter again. That includes bringing about real school choice for all students and their parents.
Like Wild Bill in the ‘Green Mile’ “I just wanted some cornbread.”
16 or 24 or 34… He’s legally allowed to stand his ground.
Deal with it
naacp....Prime Time Racist Organization. Right up there with the congressional black caucus..Whites need not apply..
Two young black boys in Atlanta, ages 11 and 12 killed by another black teen several days ago. Not one word from any black leader, no news coverage outside Atlanta, nothing. Why? No money, publicity or power to be gained from that killing.
just charge the yute with mayhem
Since when is food allowed on the school bus?
== == ==
Taking food to school for lunch. Maybe not in a lunch box or lunch bag like in the old days.
“We shouldn’t be pointing a gun at our children,” he said.
Well maybe you shouldn’t bully and attack someone if you don’t want a gun pulled on you.
I guess I should have made it clear I meant since when was it o.k. to eat hot food like pizza on the bus. Not food that was being toted for lunch.
