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.

[robomatik]

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

[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.

[celtic gal]

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.

[Looking4Truth]

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.

Here in Las Vegas, a black teenager recently shot a white teenager who was just walking on the sidewalk. He shot from his car and didn’t know the victim. No mention of hate crime. I wish someone would catalog all the black on white crime in which hate crimes are never considered. Then the next time a white is accused of a hate crime his lawyer can prove that the hate crime laws apply only to whites.

[doodad]

A school district official said the three students arrested could be expelled

Could be. Hopefully their incarceration will get a truant officer on them as well. Sheesh.

[Dacus943]

"but said the school board would decide on a punishment."

What? Why not just let the criminal courts handle this matter!

[Joe Boucher]

WHY is it the jurisdiction of the school board to meet out justice here?
Why isn’t this assault being handled by the county prosecutor?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Another White boy thrown to the wolves and sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. Whites don’t count, and it will get even worse with Obama as president.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

This is simply a clear case of justifiable outrage taking on a physical manifestation. Somewhere in that white boy’s past he knew, heard or thought about the “N” word.

That school board had best let those youngsters back in that school, anything else is genocide.

[Sender]

I was punched in the face in HS just for being white, on a day when a black student had been arrested. I went to the office and the principal said, “There’s nothing we can do about it. Surely you understand.”

[ladyjane]

The young victim’s father was talking to the police. No mention of the thugs’ fathers.
