i saw that video and let me say i was outraged.
number one, anyone that has to get beat down like that
because they picked out a bus seat is preposterous.
i hope that boy receives some good community service hours from the judge
(not jail becos thats tax dollars)
and the other one, that got punched,....take some boxing classes. I'm a girl and by the 2nd hit, i would've had that guy by the collar.

Black kid punches white kid

Applause, yay!

Now if a white kid had hit a black kid, I bet you the whole bus would've of flipped over, the NAACP would've sued, there would be riots in the streets, cops would be killed over it, and on and on and on.

Society is #ed up, but hey.

This is our future. The kids are the future, and well, I wouldn't mind euthanizing them all, all I hear lately is.

Youth Gang, Gang Rapes 12 year old girl.
Youth girl seduces boy into alley, where 4 guys beat him with baseball bats and stab him 6 times.
youth this, youth that.

Man, the world is #ed up.

I still can't get over, how they just sit there and laugh, and applaud, and that one black kid starts banging on the seat like a goddamn monkey.

Yes I have to say that this student didn't want to fight back because the bus was filed with Black kids. I watch this video and I wish I was there to give a beaten to the the kid that started the fight. and I'm black
And what I cant understand is the bus driver doesn't do anything about it
I live in Canada in the Province of Quebec this would be unacceptable and rest assure the driver would have interfered
why didn't that driver help the boy on his bus. reason why because this kids are out of control and if he did something there probably would have been a law suit againts him what a joke

After imagining myself in the kid's and the driver's positions, I cannot disagree with your assessment.

I went to ninth grade at a school were it was predominantly Hispanics and blacks (im Hispanic). This was a regular thing there. Fights, blacks beating up the few whites that were there. Hispanics fighting the blacks. Drugs, cops walking around the school constantly. Later we moved to another district and the majority of the kids there were white. Suffice it say my last three years of high school were probably the best I could hope for. Except for the time they caught a kid with a list of other kids to kill. But that was the only incident that ever scared me there. And even that it was isolated. So whats the problem here? I think the parents are at fault. These kids from both of these races, and it is a racial thing, feel like they are owed something and their parent are to stupid or simply don't care. I agree with the community service instead of jailtime deal. But it should be a year of community service and not just for the kids but for the parents. At this age the parents are directly responsible for their kids actions.

That is ridiculous that those kids would allow it to happen. Unfortunately it is all too common.

Just goes to show the significant role that race plays in the lives of kids.



I've been that kid getting beat before because I was in the wrong section of the bus, but at least I knew how to properly apply a pencil into a stomach.

I think its important to note that while I went to that other school the black kids used to get mad at me or anyone sitting next to them. They would usually put one leg across the seat so no one could sit there. This is the main reason I started walking to and from school.

By the way why do they love to sit at the back of the bus? Its something I have always wondered about. You hear about Rosa Parks and everything she did and you have these kids sitting in the back willingly. In Mexico only the bad and mean kids sit in the back. The bullies or the drug dealers sit there. I suppose its the same here.

I'm not sure what the rules are for the school that these kids attend but in my son's school there are rules against interfering in fights and that includes on the bus.

My son saw one of his classmates (boy) beating on a girl at recess. He looked around for a teacher and there wasn't one in sight. He jumped in and wrestled the boy to the ground. A teacher magically appeared at that moment in time to see my son apparently causing a ruckus "for no reason".

When he (and the girl) explained what happened, the principal said he didn't care. It was against the rules to fight at school or on the bus and it didn't matter who started or ended it, all parties were punished.

In my son's case, even the girl who'd gotten beaten up was punished along with my son who tried to protect her. They got the same punishment as the urchin that had started the whole thing. MADNESS!

I can see why kids would be reluctant to fight back or get involved. The decent and innocent kids get punished the same as if they were the perpetrators of the violence.

Btw, my son and I spend his 3 day suspension celebrating his heroism by going to movies and getting ice cream at Braums.
