FLORIDA (KGO) -- A father boarded his 11-year old daughter's school bus in central Florida to confront her alleged bullies.
She has cerebral palsy, and James Jones says some kids on the bus had been taunting her, hitting her and had even thrown condoms at her. He brought her on board and asked her to point them out.
"Everybody sit down. Everybody sit down," Jones said on the surveillance tape. He then orders his 11-year-old daughter to point out her alleged tormenters. "Show me which one. Show me which one," he said.
"I'm gonna (expletive) you up -- this is my daughter, and I will kill the (expletive) who fought her," Jones said.

I think some Wild West justice will be therapeutic. Just think, if all the medicated suburbanite Oprah watching mommies took their anger, signed up for the military, and then entered the battlefield, the Muzzies would be wiped out within the week. We’ve become so civilized as to become doormats.
As for the story, those little bastards need a whipping for targeting a disabled child.
He probably was afraid of being fired if he did do something about it.
He called the school, they did nothing.
If this does not warrant a father to stand up for his handicapped daughter, what does?
Where is your line? (or do you even have one?)
At first, I thought the article was about the sodomite bus driver.
IMHO, I don't think so. Communicate it directly and if need be use physical force to explicitly communicate such behavior will not be tolerated against those unable to defend for themselves.
If law enforcement and the School Administration were half competent, they would ignore anything said by the family member to the cowardly punks and instead throw the book at not only the kids who did it, but their parents as well and very well publicize the entire affair so the parents, families and bullies were well ostracized from the community.
When the community fails to act against the bullies, the community is just as heartless and deserves no less condemnation.

>>The day before the incident, his daughter was sitting near the back of the school bus, and new video obtained by Local 6 News shows a white object in the middle of the aisle of the bus. According to Jones and other students on the bus, the object was an unwrapped condom. The video shows a boy sitting behind James’ daughter getting up from his seat and picking the condom up. The video then shows him move back to his seat carrying the condom and tossing it onto the girl’s hair. As she struggled to pull it out, students aboard the bus erupt in laughter, the video shows.
Jones said the video explains why he reacted the way he did, threatening to kill students.
I agree, libs and lawyers have made it too expensive for schools to enforce standards. We need to make it too expensive for them to NOT enforce the standards.
“What about all the other kids that were not guilty of mistreating this daughter? How do you think it makes them feel to see this guy climb aboard, then hear this guy rant about killing others [the bullies]?”
I imagine they were cheering him on, as they likely were being terrorized by the bullies, too.
Video Shows What Led Father To Threaten Students On Bus

I want to see the interview of the kids mother that threw the condom. Haven’t found it yet.
If I were the father, I would have picked my daughter up from school and followed the bus home. I’d let her point out the kids giving her grief as they got off the bus. I’d note which houses they entered.
I’d visit the house again that night, alone, around 8 pm. I’d knock on the door and politely explain the situation to the father, and tell him that if he didn’t put a stop to it, I’d take it out on him, one way or another.
This would be a private conversation.
Hurray for a father willing to defend his children.
Maybe if the Columbine shooters had a father like this there wouldn’t have been a massacre.
Good for him, half the kids in America need a good a@# whooping ...
I wonder if the girl was the victim of bullies because her father has no self control?
That works with a decent and responsible father (parent). But so often bullies are the products of irresponsible parents.
Sorry, FRiend, the father was completely wrong in the way he handled this. He should have gone to the schoool board. He deserved to be arrested.
Threatening the entire bus was merely an expression of his frustration with the school. I have 2 daughters and would do the same if they were harrassed. With or without school intervention. I can feel this guys rage and I don’t blame him.
Loved the scene in “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle” when the little girl Emma pointed out to Peyton, the schoolyard bully who picks on her.
Peyton walked up to him and said, “you ever pick on Emma again I’ll rip you F****** head off”. Followed by the bully wetting his pants, if I remember correctly. Classic scene. Some bullys need the fear of God put in them.
Maybe so but probably not very effective.
Ever have kids on a bus? We have three bus runs around here for each of grade, middle and high school... six runs per route per day. Most of the buses are almost empty. The cars at the schools create a monumental traffic jam. Why?
Ever ride a school bus? No discipline and miserable.
This guy did the right thing. Somebody needs to knock a few heads of these piss ant cretins. Maybe they will remember it.
