What started out as a awkward conversation between 13-year-old Drew Breton and his mother about him being suspended from school for fighting, has turned into a viral video on social media giving millions a front row seat to bullying.

His mother, 42-year-old Kimberly Breton said that until the video surfaced she was skeptical about what exactly happened.

"He told me what happened the day before but then the next day he came home off the bus and said he was suspended," said Breton.

Breton said the bullying incident initially took place on November 4th at Semmes Middle School in Mobile County. Out of 17 middle schools in the district, for the 2016-2017 school year Semmes is the largest school with 1,484 students.

It is a reflection of liberals seeing ALL violence as bad, so they criminalize self defense as if that is going to create MORE violence ...
It is furthered by the racial politics involved, that a black must always be the victim and thus moral party unless absolutely proven otherwise.

Assault - threatened with harm
Battery - actual contact made: grabbing, hitting, etc.

Looked like at least one of the boys beating up on him was white.

“Breton said she does not plan on pressing charges against the students in the video.”

That’s SO nice of her

Maybe the mom can also suggest the school give the bullies participation trophies.

I got a detention for finally turning around and punching the @-hole who had tormented me for a long while after he again pulled my books out of my hands and threw them on the floor. He didn't get a detention. In a switch, I broke his glasses instead of having mine broken (again).

I was never again bothered.

Something similar here. A group of self-styled toughs in leather jackets were spitting on younger kids on the bus.
I told him to stop.
The next day waiting for the bus felt something hit my leg. I walked over to him and wiped the spit from my leg on his shirt, his punch went over my right shoulder. I cleaned his clock.
The secret: punch but don’t get punched. d-uhhhh

Hauled us all to the auditorium. Stern lecture. The tough had an epiphany and attitude adjustment.
This kid should have taken his best shot. The principal/teacher was way off-base.

Criminal charges need to be filed against the bulliers. I was bullied in 8th grade. I survived. It didn’t involve physical contact though. It was 55 years ago so no one thought anything of it. My best friend basically implied that it was my fault.

What really pissed me off, this was on my high school transcripts that I needed for college. I broke his sunglasses too, that was my first returning shot, then I lifted his sorry ass up and threw him in the opposite bus seat. Bailing hay in my youth obviously had become useful.
Still, the one defending himself is punished, only in a progressive worldview, Effing bastages.

That sure is gutsy of a kid that small to take on so many boys much bigger than he is. Give him a medal.

Youtube took it down. They only allow videos that show white-on-black bullying.
