According to an earlier thread one of the parents is claiming that the young woman used the n word and spit at them. Do I believe this? No.

Evenn if she did, it does not justify a physical attack upon a woman, or even a man.

Unfortunately (sarc) for the parents, there is surveillance video from the bus. Police say there is no evidence of provocation. Also that initially the kids made NO claims of provocation.

Sounds like the parents came up with it after the fact to defend their little darlings.

A 26-year old woman “spitting” at a gang of teenagers (mostly boys) and using the “N” word in the presence of an African-American bus driver? Doesn’t sound likely.

Even if they are convicted of a hate crime, they will receive no meaningful punishment. They are minors.

And even if she did, so what? I’m tired of hearing how someone disrespecting someone else is license to attack them. These kids need thicker skins.
