Imagine if he had been white...
I saw the video of the bus “storming”, He has nothing to apologize for. The school and bus driver should apologize to him..................
it being Seminole Co schools explains an awful lot about why no preventive measures were taken despite numerous pleas for them to stop the bullies before he took matters into his own hands...
dad went overboard, but know what, he does not need to apologize. I know our school’s “zero tolerance” is total and PURE BS. When my daughter was in 6th grade she was getting teased by a bully. We called the school, no response from them. We sent emails and requested a meeting. Nothing happened. My daughter was being bullied by this girl daily... finally we called the cops and all of the sudden they were calling us, apologizing and asking when we could meet. “Too late... we filed a report and are pressing charges...”
The look on their face must have been priceless because the silence over the phone sure was.
That is YOUR child, not the government’s and you have to do what you have to do to protect them.
[He said he himself was acting as a bully and no parent should copy his behavior]
No he wasn’t. Defending your handicapped daughter from heartless tormenters is not bullying!
I always told my sons....
Never start a fight
Defend yourself and finish the fight
Always come to the aid of the weaker....
This Dad was coming to the aid of the weaker, his daughter. IMO he is being a good man and a good father.
-George Orwell, 1984
. . . here’s a black father and husband with a physically challanged daughter who’s being bullied by other students ,,,,, I say I feel the same exact way he feels ans I was personally proud of him for what he did ,,, The States Attorney and his laywer probably put him up to the apology .
The politically correct score another victory.
Do nothing administrators are protected again by the tought police.
Kids are cruel. Their treatment of the disabled is akin to the Democrats’ of the unborn. It is sin in one of its more pure expressions. Shame on these kids, and God bless this dad.
They did nothing.
When the social institutions which have taken the position of authority fail to exercise that authority, it is only just that that authority be reclaimed from those who were given it and exercised by those who are agrieved in their appeals.
It is not a decision to be taken lightly.
This man was verbally defending his family, a child with special needs who was being bullied. God Bless Him. We need more like him, if for no other reason than to teach the bullies their actions might lead to consequences they will not like--before the stakes are raised and someone utilizes lethal force to defend those who are incapable of self-defense.
And as for all the 'authorities' who are excoriating him to cover their collective asses, they can rot.
'Family involvement' used to keep a damper on the BS.
Awwww, did the poor widdle parents get mad because the Mean Daddy menaced their widdle pweciouses? Well, maybe those kids shouldn’t have been picking on a DISABLED girl!
I personally have no problem with what that Dad did. Those kids should have their butts beaten for taunting that girl.
He should sue the school system.
The only mistake he made was telegraphing his intentions—in public.
I saw the early video where some stupid cop was trying to justify their persecution of James Willie Jones. What twisting of logic!
I totally understand why the guy did what he did, and he shouldn’t have apologized imho.
The BUS driver who allowed the behavior ought to be the one apologizing. And the kids who did it and their parents.
Drop the charges,the man was unusually provoked to protect his daughter.
I’m betting those same kids will see this as Open Season. I’d love to see their parents being interviewed.
