I did.
But my manly justicerection would have none of it.
For those who have yet to see the bully’s side of the story lol.
I also prefer the hulk’d edition of the incident.
It is good that bitch got choked out. If she keeps that shit up into adulthood, someone is going to do much worse.
And the video of the bodyslam is fucking amazing.
Why wasn’t the bus moving? Did anyone else think that was weird?
Glad he stood up for himself. I would of gone straight for her eye.
That was a chick? It looked like Richard Sherman.

Kids these days are well aware just what “authority figures” can’t do. The advice I’ve heard is that in situations like this, you’re pretty much f-ed if you get involved, and you’ve f-ed if you don’t get involved.
If I were the parents of the girl beating on the white kid and I saw this video I’d be so ashamed of what a job I had done in raising such a child.

No. If you were her parent, she wouldn’t be acting like that in the first place.
I really want to know when it became policy in public schools for adults to allow children to be beaten and not do anything to stop it. That boy could have been seriously injured if he had not stopped the girl when she started kicking him in the head and all the only adult on the bus had to say was “you know I can’t touch you kids.” That is bullshit. If this had happened when I was a kid, the bus driver would have stopped, dragged that girl and her brother outside and beat their asses and then their parents would have done the same thing when they got home. That is why we fought off of school property, at least then we only got one beating afterward. I am not saying that that is exactly what this bus driver should have done, but school faculty should be allowed and required to protect the children under their care. If I was the bus driver, I would have stopped it even if it meant losing my job.
I must say though, I was surprised and warmed by that boy’s reaction to that girl’s assault. I am not willing to call her a bully and what not for attacking him like that because I am not aware of the circumstances leading up to the fight, but given the young mans composure I kind of doubt he instigated anything. I will say that that girl is a complete piece of shit for continuing to attack someone who was not fighting back at all and her brother is a complete piece of shit for egging her on and then trying to attack the boy who was standing up for himself. I would like to know where those two learned that that kind of behavior is okay.

Holy shit that was amazing! I would buy that kid a ticket for the next WWF show if I could contact him on me.
Man I wish I had the instance of this kid harassing me for an hour at school in the library. I ended up throwing him over the librarians desk and whooping his ass fiercely lol. The principal told me to join boxing and suspended me because even though I was standing up for some 1 else I wasn’t minding my own business. Another time ,3 arabs were harassing a little asian kid and I stood up 2 them in the middle of the auditorium infront of the whole school they thanked me for that 1! Being bullied sucks always stand up for other’s cuz the same shit could happen to you and you’ll want some 1 to help you out.
The 2 agressor’s in the video obviously have shitty parents.

Thanks, supersaiyan. You got it and that’s why I’m not around so much. I’ll be popping in every now and again while I can. Any threads that really deliver, lately?
Videos like that piss me off. I was bullied, but never to the point of getting hit by other kids. Glad the kid fought back and stood up for himself when nobody else cared to stop it.

My mom has been a middle school teacher for over 20 years. There will always be a few kids who not only realize that the school literally can’t do shit to them but also have no moral qualms with exploiting that. It becomes a real nightmare. They will do whatever the fuck they want, and if you touch them, you’re fucked 6 ways from Sunday. The parents will always defend them tooth and nail, and the principal 9 times out of 10 will be a pushover who sides with the parents (and thereby the student) because he/she is too much of a wimp to do otherwise i.e. too scared of litigation.
All that being said, I have NEVER known of a teacher who would just let a student get beat on. When something like this happens, the consequences go out the window and someone intervenes. That bus driver was not a good person.
This kind of stuff really hits a nerve with me.
The whole Bullying thing has been a media hot button topic. To that end I have heard many people IRL and on Tnation claiming how it is a right of passage and Bullying and complaining about it is leading to the pussification of America and of people in general. While I have dealt with bullying and teasing as a kid, none of it was fun, it was embarrassing at times emasculating but thankfully I overcame it not unscathed (maybe a little angry as a teenager) but for the most part Im over it.
When I really struggled with bullying was when it was done to my step son, who came out as a homosexual in high school. The damage it done and the heartbreak I felt when my son was terrified to go to school, because he was isolated, beaten up, humilated and emotional scarred left me with a whole new take on the bullying and its being pushed to the forefront.
The horror he went through for simply being attracted to dudes crushed me and my wife, and it left him with lasting emotional damage. He was an introverted, quiet, unassuming, smart and talented child that had to deal with what I considered over the top bullying. He never made a spectacle of himself or his sexuality but I always had an idea.
Highschool kids picked it up as well and he was betrayed by the few friends he confided in. While not directly related to the video (the kid was a fucking boss BTW) Bullying should not be tolerated the was so many people feel it should. Watching quite a few documentaries about it and being left in tears because I feel so bad for these emotionally tortured kids has totally changed my views on the subject.
While the media loves to beat things to a dead horse, and go over the top to the point where you are almost forced to be contrarian on the matter this is one topic that really needs constant attention. Many times the ones being picked on dont have the fortitude to stand up for themselves and they end up doing damage sometimes ireperable damage to themselves
Kid looks and sounds just like Chunk from “The Goonies”.

Agreed. I can’t imagine any jurisdiction in the world where the teacher/driver/monitor doesn’t have the legal authority to step in and protect a child who is being physically or verbally abused. God help us if there is.

She got a real eye opener and rightly so. Whether it was something he saw on TV or actually practices, he locked that choke in and stretched her out very well, along with kicking the brother back a couple of times. I’d bet that she thought he would be an easy target because he’s a fat white kid and she has her brother to back her up. Her Bad.

Good point. They really should pass a law that exempts school employees/boards from any litigation if they intervene in a violent situation.
