I grew up in the 60s Jacksonville, FL when getting attacked simply for the color of your skin was the norm.

The Koch family said they said they hope the three students responsible get what they deserve.

The only way for that to happen would be for someone to give them the @sswhooping they deserve.

Nathan Bedford Forrest High School is one of the roughest public schools in Duval County.

I'd sooner send my son to a penitentiary for prep school.

i’m surprised they identified the race of the victim -which leads one to whittle away at the possible race of the perps.

My experience in Jax in the late 60's was the opposite of yours. Had we stayed a few months longer I would have been a freshman at Forrest HS

Ironically, N. B. Forrest High is predominantly black.

More ironically, they are their teams are named the Rebels, and they wear gray uniforms. It’s something to see on the friday night high scool football clips: the all black Rebels of Forrest High, wearing CSA gray.

Undoubtedly the defense attornies will declare that the miscreants were “honor students”..

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

If it was whites attacking a black student you can bet it would be hate crime city.Being the other way around you will crickets chirping indefinitely.

Well, not so fast. Maybe Obama can discuss things with them and inspire them with a message of hope and change!/s

Nobody should be attacked because of skin color. Black or white.

Where oh where are the “Justice Brothers”? ( Sharpton and Jackson...oh that’s right,,, the victim was white..)

[wardaddy]

"I want to see them get the penalty -- the stiff penalty -- for this and what they did to my boy," said Koch.

Good luck, in Jacksonville FL you might get lucky, in Jackson Misissippi you'd be outta gas

[TNdandelion]

Why does the board get to decide? Aren’t they a responsible party in this attack? Where is the school security? They need to get their lawyers working on this.

[taxesareforever]

Move along, no hate crime here.

[SoldierDad]

Well, then he’d also deserve an @sswhooping.

[IIntense]

You beat me to the question!

Some info on sleazy "reverend" Sharpton.

According to the police report, one of the suspects said, "Look at the white boy, he looks like a victim," before punching Koch in the eye.

HATE CRIME!!!

I am willing to bet that the Mr. Koch will have his son back in that school the minute he is well enough to attend.

There are schools that are so horrific that it would be better for a child to be illiterate and innumerate than to ever set foot in one. ( I **seriously** mean it!) This school is one of them.

I agree with Travis McGee. If I absolutely had to institutionalize my child for his education, I'd send him to the state penitentiary before allowing him to attend this government school. Prison is likely safer.
