Yeah but there are also rules against encouraging the fight, which you can see most of the students are doing.

And students should at least have a basic sense of morality, meaning damn the rules, you help a fellow man who is being violently attacked, regardless.

Any one of those students cheering was just as able to put a pen through that goons throat. To fail to do so is unacceptable.

Keep doin what you're doin 110%!!!

My kids know that it is not cool to watch a bully thrash someone.

If they are too scared to act, that's OK i will not judge them for that.

But they know that if they choose to act, and they are punished for it at school, that they themselves and we the parents are the final judges of their actions, not some arbitrary school rules. for you.

I just can't fathom, seeing someone being beaten, for well, a bus seat. Which to me, it looked like he had nowhere else to sit!

Then when the kid gets upset or just full of himself and starts fighting him, that everyone applauds?

There was a total feeling of the arrogance of these attackers. They reminded me of a mean a$$ kid that used to throw rocks and kick at stray dogs for the fun of it. Like they were punishing that kid for invading their lifespace. How dare he walk the same ground as they did!!!

I bet Dr. King would sob and puke over something like this.

I agree that this would be classed as a hate crime, but I would tread lightly with the imagery bro.

Not trying to get politically correct on you man, but that was kind of overt.

Hey there, if you are tired of seeing nothing but bitching on ATS, here's a thought, don't read it.

You don't know what we do or don't do so if you could be so kind...

There are myriad bridges around if you need somewhere to TROLL.

Perhaps you could lead by example and then post what you did to rectify the situation so we can all follow your shining model of proactive behavior.

I am with your sentiment one hundred percent.

I am from a small town that could be considered redneckish I am one that believes bird of a feather often flock together when in close quarters. Meaning that when a group of people are together and they have similarities they will stick together over those who are different from themselves.

I can imagine this kid felt basically the same way. If he fights back things might have only turned out worse as more would have joined in and the beating could have gotten very ugly. I am not saying this is just a black thing or white thing but a people thing. It would have been the same if the colors had been completely reversed.

Like I said I am from a small town of redneckish people. I took a beating from one person with minimal fighting back so that I was not attacked by the other 6-7 that were there with him. It is a survival thing to me. I can walk away faster from ones delivered by one than by wounds delivered by 7-8 (who could have easily brought out weapons as well.


I don’t know the full story behind this attack but it seems racial for sure. But it might be that the boy was doing things that might provoke such an attack prior to being on the bus. At this moment though with the information we have at hand it seems to be nothing more than racial views that brought about this attack.

Imagine though if someone had stood up and said hey this is not right. It might have helped things out and the boy might not have been beaten the way he was. We as a people need to overcome this “they are like me so I will stick with them” idea and go with “hey that is not right so I will stand out from the normal and say so” sort of thing.

Indeed... a group of whites would have been expelled, arrested, sued and lives ruined..

This is a hate crime, there needs to be equality... equal punishments as well.

The fact that the "black leaders" don't speak up shows what racist bigots they really are.



Disgusting.

Where is the Rearend Jesse Jackass?

He's trying to come up with a sneaky plan to give obama a vasectomy. lol

Jesse I believe that when he dies, America may actually move up in the world a bit.

I'm not telling you to kill him or anyone! He's pretty old though..... shouldn't be to long

Not that death is funny in any way shape or form.
