A Semmes Middle School student in Mobile County was bullied and it was all caught on camera. The video has since gone viral video on social media.
The video was posted to Facebook by the victim's brother on November 13 and has since been viewed 2.4 million times as of November 21st.

"I think I cursed and I was like he's not fighting at all," said Breton. "He's walking away he's defending himself and the school told me the complete opposite."
If Obama had a son...
Wait there is something wrong there. White people are the only ones that bully. Black people would never bully anybody.
...by being there
It’s a mix of kids, both black and white.
The student knew the pack would try to kill him.
The administrators know they can’t do anything about it. Bullying only exists when a favored minority or a Trump opponent is being harassed.
The media will wish this event into the corn field.
From the news report:
Quote:
“My brother is being bullied. These kids have no idea who they are messing with and what he has been through already in his life. I can’t even believe this is happening and there will be repercussions. This is not over, I’m sorry Drew, we love you.””
I hope the authorities are going to press assault charges. Otherwise “payback” could be tragic.
The bullying may not have anything to do with race. There is a little red-haired white boy who throws a punch at the victim, near the end of the video.
A diverse coalition of nasty kids.
(I had to watch with sound off.)
Those little monsters need to be taken to the woodshed.
I am not saying that the kids care about black and white. I don’t think race is at issue at all. But the news doesn’t show this video. They would show it if the kid being picked on was black. Or at least the bully was white.
Someone remind me again why sending a child to public school is so much better than homeschooling?
That’s what zero tolerance, anti bullying policies get you. Even an innocent victim is treated as guilty and the actual bullies get little punishment.
A friend of ours is in the military, his son dared to fight back after weeks of dealing with sneaky bully. Administrator and counselor brought victims parents in to lecture them about the seriousness of their son’s actions. Dad is a man of few words, but he absolutely let them have it. He wouldn’t allow the school to give his son any consequence. Told them his son did what he taught him to do and if the school took any further action they would have a big problem.
Knowing the haughty lib counselor and Hillary-like principal I would love to have been a fly on the wall when he told them to leave because in that situation they were worthless:). He stayed to talk to the teacher who backed up the son. Good times.
Parents need to remember that they, for now, do have authority in matters at their kids’ school.
That wasn’t a killing mob. Most of the voices encouraging the attack were white; there is a white boy with his hand on the black boy’s shoulder encouraging him, and a little red-haired boy who punched the victim.
I’ve been a target of gang-up white bullies in middle school. This looks just like that. It makes the target’s life a misery, but there is almost zero chance of serious injury.
There really doesn’t seem to be a racial element here. It’s a large majority white school.
And where on earth are the teachers? They campaign against bullying in the school in a way they never used to, but what really makes the difference is observant adults who take action, not consciousness-raising.
That’s just wrong, so wrong. If the roles were reversed we would have nationwide rioting. That school system better do something about that, especially in Alabama. Oh man...
The only reason I’ve been told over and over is “socialization”. If that’s the only reason, why bother? I thought it was supposed to be about education. My kids have much better social skills that most of the kids I’ve been around.
I don’t know why we’d expect any different behavior from these kids - no dads in the home, and the schools haven’t paddled a kid in 40+ years.
I’m 72, and was paddled - once - in 10th grade. To day the least, it got my attention!
the left are so blinded by creating “safe spaces” and too busy handing out crying towels and so concerned for the boy who thinks he’s a girl so he get’s use the girls bathrooms that they have totally failed in providing a safe environment for all students to learn.
Seems to me, social activism is the root cause of all these problems
It must be assumed the school will go into CYA mode and lie through their teeth. I went through the same thing as a high school student in 1973. Nothing has changed or ever will.
I have not watched the video...I went to 8 different school systems while doing the 1-12 segment of our education set up. I had only a few occasions where I was confronted and i never thought twice about standing up for myself no matter what the situation was. Try to keep in mind I am no hulk never was. I am 5’8” tall and weigh 160 lbs. the same as when I was 17...After being confronted and fighting off whoever it was I got instant respect because I did not back down ... nothing has changed except for the adults who have become literal pussies who feel everything can be talked out ...I see some of the shit my grandchildren deal with as far as the policies in the schools now. Let the kids fight and be done with it, every child needs a good foot in the ass every once in a blue moon and when they get tired of getting that foot in the ass then that propels them to be self-sufficient as to not have to answer to such authority and THEN they see the wisdom of their parents actions. What you see now are kids being punks knowing full well nothing of any consequence will happen to them.
Anyone who didn’t see this one coming just wasn’t looking. In our country’s recent history we’ve celebrated diversity in our population as if it were a good thing. However, one look at world history will show you that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religion has long survived.
Countries don’t naturally form with a diverse population, and when in the past they’ve occurred it’s usually been as a result of armed conquest. These unnaturally formed countries have either melded together into a single population made up of one mixed race with one language and one religion or they’ve come apart, and they’ve usually come apart with extreme violence. The longer these diverse populations were forced to coexist with one another without mixing and becoming one, the more the hatred grew among them and the more violently they broke apart, but break apart they did, or genocide has settled the issue once and for all.
