Mugshot.

Sounds like this guy lost control. That's not good.

In a broader context, I will say that I believe teachers should be able to get physical with students.

"Just yelling at him would have gotten his attention rather than being physical with him," she told WCBS-TV. "It's just disgusting, why would someone hurt a child?"

Why would a 10 year old think it's ok to throw a punch at an adult? I can't get worked up about this. I went to Catholic school in the early 1960's and this is nothing.

When I say you're out, you're out kid!

Lol. We had a nun at our school that would play dodgeball, kickball and baseball.

[pfflier]

"Just yelling at him would have gotten his attention rather than being physical with him,"

WTF?? If the kid tried to punch him, chances are he was way out of control.

In addition to substitute teaching, Sanabria has worked as a tech on films including "Jungle Fever" and "Malcolm X."

I think they may be sending the signal that the teacher is being persecuted on account of his race. From his photo, I can't make a definite interpretation. The fact that he has worked with Spike Lee really doesn't seem relevant to the story unless they are going to play the race card.

"[Sanabria] apparently grabbed the student, pushed him into a wall, threw him to the ground and put him into some sort of arm and headlock and lifted him up off the ground," said New Rochelle Police Capt. Joseph Schaller.

If he was like 1960s Memphis rassling legend Jackie Fargo, he would have then gone into the Fargo Strut to add gloating and humiliation to his victory in the squared circle.

I thought Dodgeball was a big no-no in these overly PC times of ours.

Jackie Fargo?

Oh my gosh, what a blast from the past! Here’s his retirement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDFuKLtxkw

Only if you're less than 100' from the target.

Only if you're less than 100' from the target.

A good way to scout out potential future starting pitchers for MLB.
Where's my radar gun?

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Thanks pally! Not only the Fabulous One but Lance Russell and Dave Brown too! I grew up watching that stuff and Jackie was right, he never failed to deliver. Much better than the garbage they put out today. Thanks again for bringing back some memories of my growing up years.

Dodgeball is serious bidness.
Lives are on the line.

Maybe the little bastard will learn next time.

“I thought Dodgeball was a big no-no in these overly PC times of ours.”

Some schools still play it but the ones I have seen use lighter balls. Back in the day we used basketballs that would break your nose if got hit in the face. When that happened we were told to “walk it off”. :-)

[Mr Rogers]

If a kid at any age tries to attack you - and it seems all agree the kids DID attack the teacher - then how are you to restrain him?

I’d also like to know the relative sizes. Some 10 year olds are tiny, and others huge.

He then tried to apply the figure-four leg lock, but the kid slipped out of it.

“Spaghetti Jimmy wins!” ;0)

[Always Right]

Some people take dodge ball way to seriously....

[Hacklehead]

In the mugshot he looks ready to punch the photographer. A male gym teacher claiming self defense against a 10 YO boy doesnt pass the laugh test.
