Middle School Gang Beating

[burythehatchet]

What a disgusting sight. Apparently another video has surfaced in Florida showing another beating. On this one the video was made by a friend of the assailant and copies sold for $6 to classmates.

Why is this happening? How can children be so vicious? Is it a stretch to link this to the national crisis in leadership?

1. Serious consequences for small kids coupled with education about

empathy and hard time for parents should take care of
it. Kids need a notation on their records that they were
hoodlums as a child. Also, if they just get expelled,
expell them into cells.

RV, letting a cranky teacher moment intrude.

2. Do you remember what story they ran after it?

Assuming you saw it on TV news?

8. Teach your kids

to have INTEGRITY and Empathy with teeth!
Teach them to be true to themselves and responsible for themselves first,Empower them,teach them to care,and remind them they cannot dominate others to get what they want.Teach the kids
to stand up for themselves,and be support for each other when life knocks us all down.
Teach kids not to be bullies or enablers,Teach them to not to excuse bullies,or stand by while their Friends are hurt by bullies and told to shut up about what happened.
Changing the way we relate to each other would undo this culture of make belive..There are options other than obedience or reaction..refuse to shut up or participate in abuse,resist giving into denial,and remember what was so wrong and say no more!

Abusing or manipulating others is always a choice and so,you can refuse to do it,excuse it,tolerate it,deny it,rationalize it....or allow it to happen to you anymore.
No more denial..speak your truth, one must not be persuaded to become a victim of abusers in the name of ending abuse it perpetuates the sickness into the future.There are no "innocent" bystanders.No more place for silence..no more room for apathy, We need no more scapegoats,no more domination games. Equality and diversity cannot exist with bullies controlling our culture..
Every positive or negative change in our culture that ever occurs begins and ends with you.

7. Oh fucking PUH-LEEEEEEZ

When I was in "Junior HS" (JHS 185, Queens, New York City Board of Ed.), I saw much worse beatings than all of these, and even caught worse, and even gave worse. The histrionics and general decline narratives are laughable. We used to smash each other with mallets and cut each other up with box-cutters already in Junior high. These videos are mild in comparison. I've never seen so much ado about nothing in all my days. Quite frankly, having been on the giving and receiving end of a few beatdowns, that Bus video was a fucking joke, and those kids were barely even hitting the "victim" with any force.

The hysterical response, quite frankly, is more shocking than the video.

9. Reagan legitimized amorality

The Columbine generation are the spawn of neocon Murka.

It is exacerbated by George W Bush's "we fear EVERYTHING and have the gawd-given right to premeptively strike first on the basis of our fear" version of Murka.

12. Watch this kid spend 20 years in jail as an adult

He'll sure be rehabilitated by then
