BRIAR IS BATMAN!

“They phoned me and said, ‘Briar was involved in an incident today,’” she said. “That he decided to ‘play hero’ and jump in.” Ms. O’Donnell was politely informed the school did not “condone heroics,” she said. Instead, Briar should have found a teacher to handle the situation. “I asked: ‘In the time it would have taken him to go get a teacher, could that kid’s throat have been slit?’ She said yes, but that’s beside the point. That we ‘don’t condone heroics in this school.’

Does it get anymore moronic than this? He wasn't "playing" anything. Another student was being assaulted by a bully and he stepped in to counter the bully - it was very real. It was not a game. It isn't "beside the point" when someone is being assaulted in real time and he was the only one there in that moment that could do anything. He did not instigate, nor escalate, this situation.

And this teacher and principal are in charge of educating children when they don't have any sense themselves? I bet they claim if they have issues at their school it is due to "need for more funding."

Liberal thugs don’t like Hero’s because those liberal thugs are the ones most likely to be stopped in there evil deeds.

“What are we going to do if there are no heroes in the world? There would be no police, no fire, no armed forces. If a guy gets mugged on the street, everyone is going to run away and be scared or cower in the corner. It’s not right.”

That reprimand is a badge of honor for him and an indelible stain of cowardice upon those who issued it.

The part that bugs me the most is the locker search. On what grounds? Did they conclude he was ‘hopped up’ because he demonstrated courage? It seems to me they were fishing and/or punishing him. I’m surprised they didn’t take a DNA sample, fer cryin’ out loud.
