A viral video showing the beating of a 13-year-old white boy by three African-American youths in Florida has left hundreds of thousands of viewers horrified, but critics say the case doesn't seem to be attracting much sympathy from self-styled civil rights activists.
In the chilling video, three 15-year-old boys repeatedly beat and kick a victim police said was left with a broken arm and two black eyes.
Although Florida came under fire in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting and George Zimmerman's acquittal by activists Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson - who called it an "apartheid state" - neither has spoken publicly about the bus incident. But one reason the case has not become as racially charged as other attacks may be that many news outlets have either not shown the first few seconds, before the victim goes down behind a seat, and others blur out his face to the point his race is no longer apparent.
The bus driver, 64-year-old John Moody, can be heard frantically calling a radio dispatcher for help, although he was criticized in some quarters for not physically intervening.
"No, you've got to get somebody here quick, quick, quick," Moody pleads on his phone as the assailants take turns landing windmill punches and vicious kicks on the cowering victim. "They about to beat this boy to death over here."

Should’ve just pulled a gun and shot them.
I saw that video - it enrages me.
I pray that the boy makes a full recovery.
Of course they do.
They are more likely to protest and be upset of the perps are arrested.
SPJNK.
Driver should have driven straight to the police station.
Yes. I bet he would have been fired though
Can’t say we weren’t warned about this sort of thing years and years ago....
Why aren’t this boys parents on any news coverage...not even on Fox? The worthless Black school bus driver wasn’t involved at al because he was afraid of getting hurt.
Having a young White boy ride that bus with the drug-dealing thugs from the hood is asking for abuse, and the school district and its taxpayers ought to be sued for this.
“Yes. I bet he would have been fired though”
I read that he quit a few days later. Forced?
Probably got the blame for embarrassing the school district.
Validating stereotypes.
I never considered myself racist, but under the current definition, i.e. if you see reality without any care of color, then I must be a racist.
We will never see the race pimps, jesse and al and posses denounce these vicious bastards.
Is this getting any TV news attention? I doubt the MSM would want to show this video or talk about this case.
They don’t care about white kids.
How long have we lived here watching black killings and gangs and watching jobs given to incompetents to soothe the black hoards, and still we do not recognize that Civil Rights does not mean Civil Rights for everyone but only special rights for blacks.
The same way that rights given to Homosexuals do not mean Civil Rights for Everyone but only special rights for Homosexuals.
They should the story on a local news station here in Jacksonville the other night.
Be that as it may, the punks are now in the hands of the JUVI system. IOW, slap on wrist and back out on the street. I would hope that a parent of that student accosts them with a shotgun as they leave the school bus in the near future. I am due for jury duty...I can send in my vote on this one and even make it an absentee ballot.
My neighbor is a coach and teacher in our local middle school. Two GIRLS got into a fight, he tried to intervene. They turned on him an very nearly beat him to death. He is white, the girls black.
The worthless bus driver didn’t get involved, even after the thugs left, because he was afraid of being called an Uncle Tom.
Those three weren’t African Americans, jerks like that deserve the “N” word.
Civil rights activists give tacit approval of Florida school bus beating.
