Exclusive: Violent Brawl Involving Middle School Girls Has Family Demanding Action
CBS ^ | 3/13/2015

Posted on 03/15/2015 7:01:47 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

Cell phones were rolling on a violent brawl involving Homestead middle school girls after school just feet away from school property. But it was anything other than a fair fight.

A girl in pink shorts throws the first punch at 14-year-old Angelina Padron. Padron fights back. That’s when the girl’s friends jump in. They punch, kick and at one point drag Padron by her hair into the street.

The fight is only broken up when a shirtless man from the neighborhood steps in to pick her up.

The situation involving the girls is so tense, a relative of Angelina’s speaking out about the incident did not want to be identified.

“(The video) makes you want to go hurt somebody but you can’t,” he told CBS4’s Natalia Zea.

He says Angelina and her mother immediately reported the fight to Miami-Dade School Police and are pressing charges. The girls were suspended, as was Angelina.

“The principal actually suspended her saying she participated. She should’ve got on the ground and balled up in a ball. When she was on the ground they were kicking her in the head and stomping on her,” he said.

A district spokesperson says her suspension was later overturned, but Angelina’s family wants much more than that.

“The girls didn’t even get kicked out of school, they’re still in school when they said they would kick them out,” said the relative.

The District spokesperson denies that the principal made that promise.

Angelina’s relative believes the school was too easy on the girls, who he says are the same girls posting messages on Facebook identifying themselves as a member of a gang and throwing up signs.

One of their pages boasts, “Me and my sisters don’t know what a one on one is 100 percent. Even if my sister beating life out of somebody, I ain’t gonna watch, I’m gonna beat the life out of that (expletive) too. That’s how we’re raised.”

The incident appears to be bigger than the brawl next to the school.

According to a police report, the mother of one of the girls that was beating up Angelina in that video threatened Angelina’s mother three different times if she pressed charges against her daughter. Angelina’s mother captured cell phone video of one of those alleged threats.

Florida City police say an arrest of that girl’s mother is pending.

A month after the attack on Angelina, someone broke the windows of her home.

“They went over there, they broke the windows, they tried to pry the window open. The police have been called multiple times,” said Angelina’s relative.

One of the girls who he says was part of the videotaped attack on Angelina, later bragged on Facebook about breaking a girl’s windows. Angelina’s family is now trying to save enough money to move.

In the meantime, they feel the school district and police are not doing enough to help them.

“The system is broken,” the relative said.

Good to remember that.

In other words, stayed armed, stay safe. Shoot to kill when your life is in danger of ending at the hands of a mob.

No recourse. No remorse.

I went to middle school in that area about 26 years ago. I see not much has changed. The school was like a prison. Being a “cracker”, as all the blacks and Hispanics used to call me and the other tiny group of whites, I didnt stay long. Parents pulled me out and put me in a really good private Christian school. My first thought after starting the private school was that I’d finally found where all the white kids were lol

Matthew 7:17-20

17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.  18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.  19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

If there ever was a more apt quotation of verse, I don’t know if I have seen it...

Most interesting...I don’t know what you might even think I thought you might imply, but I do find that interesting. (Okay, that was one tortured sentence!)

Was it a farming community?

Well, that is how I see it as well, though I grant there are some who would see it as naive.

Can’t change my stripes now, though.

Nope. Inner city in Illinois. One of the first "alternative schools" in the state.

Back in the day when I was a student, these schools were known as "reform school". I guess that that terminology is too "hurtful" for the little dears so now they've been renamed.

Bet that'll fix it right up!

Context of the full passage, however (I cropped out verse 16), is in regards to false prophets... but really... the rest fits.

A bad egg... is a bad egg.

You need a video to go with that quote...
I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighbours, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.

For most it is tribal warfare passed on in the genes transported from Africa.

BS!

It's taught by the jabbering murderers (rappers)...community organizer dirtbags and fake preachers like Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackass and Al Sharpton. The Soviets started it in the 60s.

We used to have hard-working blacks with nuclear families...business owners. LBJ and "urban renewal" destroyed all that.

And just to make it even-steven lets not allow Hillary any legal representation if and when she goes to trial.

LOL...boy, talk about something going completely over my head! I didn't even get it until I read your reply, and was still puzzled, and then...the light bulb went on.

18 year old junior high school students. Sad.

We have a saying up here in Massachusetts for occasionally clueless people like me: "Light dawns on Marblehead..."
