A teachable moment: Racial thuggery in St. Louis; Updated
This is absolutely horrifying for any parent to watch. STLToday.com reports that police say the black-on-white student beating was completely unprovoked and racially motivated. Watch as many students cheer the attack — and the bus driver is nowhere to be seen:
Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft wonders where Al Sharpton is.
I wonder where President Obama will be. He turned his friend Henry Louis Gates’s anti-police temper tantrum into a “teachable moment.” What about this truly appalling incident?
***
Speaking of the Obama administration and tolerance for racial thuggery, here’s the latest on the investigation into AG Eric Holder/DOJ’s meddling in the New Black Panther Party Election Day intimidation case via Hans von Spakovsky:
The Washington Times is reporting that the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) at the Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the dismissal of the voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther party. Republican congressmen Lamar Smith and Frank Wolf, who have been doggedly pursuing the Civil Rights Division trying to get answers as to why this case (which had already been won by default) was dismissed, have expressed their relief that Justice is finally beginning to take this issue seriously (or at least is pretending to do so in order to shut down any objective investigations by Congress and the U.S. Civil Rights Commission).
Given the nature of the personnel who populate OPR, there is good reason to doubt that a real investigation will occur. Many of the career lawyers at OPR are as liberal and partisan as the lawyers who work in the Civil Rights Division. The report they issued in conjunction with the inspector general on supposed “political” hiring in the division was chock full of bias, inaccuracies, gross exaggerations, and deliberate misrepresentations of both facts and the law. Not only was the OPR attorney assigned to that investigation a liberal former Civil Rights Division lawyer, but the (now former) head of OPR who orchestrated this agitprop, Marshall Jarrett, was rewarded by Eric Holder when he became attorney general: Jarrett was made head of the Executive Office for United States Attorneys, a plum post that usually goes to a political appointee.

Update: The police are backing off the racial motive claims. Given the explosive consequences of candor about such matters, this is not surprising.

I saw this earlier this morning.
If it was my child, I’d own the entire city.
Makes me wonder if this is a hate crime and realize that this can’t possibly be a hate crime and the white kid definately deserved it.

i cringe to see this, my daughter has taken to carrying her lunch due to this type of thing happening at her school over the lunch line.
this has been going on for a long time, only thing different today is more cameras to catch this type of thing.
spacey-
I would own far more than the city, and the state would be changing its name to “Fishburg” (a play on my last name)
GSP
Just remember Wichita. This will be buried as well.
Shameful. Racism is a two way street and frankly, I’m getting tired of the race baiters like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the liberals in the dinosaur media always so quick to point fingers when it fits their agenda.
Their silence is deafening. More liberal hypocrisy at its best!
My children will never ride the yellow prison bus to the schools of indoctrination.
I read this over at the Drudge report. Apparently the school superintendent has questions – for the police:
How about this for a reason:
All the kid was trying to do was find a seat on the bus. Instead he got a beating.
I know it’s ‘East St. Louis’, but Missouri still suffers.
Reminds me alot of the old desegregation days. I think we have set the clock back at least 30 years on race relations in this country.
Does not surprise me one bit. I live on the south side of saint louis and there is a great amount of racial tension in this city. Of course it is not pervasive and completely across the board. But it is certainly palpable. One of the common tactics used in my neighborhood is where blacks will congregate on another persons property and goad them into retaliating. Unfortunately, some tried this with a neighbor of mine and found themselves at the business end of a shotgun.
Can you tell me there is no race war going on? While white people sit around shaking their heads and looking the other way black people have made every possible issue about race and their anger is erupting more daily. It’s only going to get worse.
Will Obama claim the white kid “acted stupidly” then hold a root beer summit?
This kind of stuff happens all the time on the school busses. The cowards who do the attack, know that if you surprise them on the bus, you’ve got a huge advantage, as there is no place to regroup and prepare to defend. This was definitely racially motivated, but I’m willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that these poor excuses for human beings have done this before, and probably on the bus. Cowards look for the opportune time, because they can’t win in a fair fight. My school has expelled roughly 5-10 kids a year for this kind of crap.
I thought the Bosnians ran all of the blacks out of south St. Louis…
if nothing else the local district attorney should be charging each and every one of them with assault and in adult court. Anyone encouraging these acts should also receive punishment and more than just school suspension or a rebuke…
Lots of Missourians post in here—-we’re all too familiar with the St Louis way of handling things…
Lovely. “They” are empowered by folks such as West and Serena Williams.
With people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson fanning the flames of racism, it is no surprise.
no i am saved. the Bosnians are mostly concentrated in the bevo neighborhood. And, for the most part, are decent neighbors.
Is the white kid related to Taylor Swift? Of course, in Charlie Gibson’s world, this is a direct result of the conservative-driven coarsening of America.
chow: Thanks for the update. The Bosnians were before my time in St. Louis. My info was hearsay.
Want to bet that if ANY of those black thugs get suspended or expelled, the school will ALSO punish the white kid for “fighting”.
And where the hell was the bus driver? Anyone want to guess the ethnicity of the driver?
If this incident isn’t a hate crime, then there is no such thing as a hate crime.
I for one am sick of it. Call me racist if you will, but these damn thugs need to be in reform school, not public school. None of them will ever amount to a damn anyway. The sooner they get acquainted with the prison system the better.
spacycakes, generally I disapprove of the litigious mindset that is so prevalent in our culture. But in this case I’ll make an exception. Especially after reading what the school super said.
You guys are mistaken
The white kid deserved it
Black kids can’t be racist
The white kid was inherently racist and his presence drove the other kids to beat him up and cheer him on
Obummer is going to have a ‘Milk and Cookies” summit…
I was a victim of school bullying, myself. I feel for that boy, not only for the beating he took, but because other kids encouraged it.
I hope those two bullys go to jail.
Oh, I’m also not of the ‘litigious’ mindset.
I’d also not let a child of mine attend a public school in East St. Louis.
But I’d feel this way if it were my cat.
UPDATED, 11:35 a.m. with police captain backtracking on whether attack was racially motivated
Is this one of the “wonderful benefits of diversity” the liberals are always preaching about? Call me a racsits for this remark, I don’t care. But there is no way in h*ll I would send my child to a racially diverse school. Any white child who is a minority at a school will constantly be under duress from the other children. Tolerance, like racism, is a one way street. That is a fact. This country has gone to the dogs over the past 40 years and there is a direct correlation to diversity workship and mass immigraiton form 3rd world countries. It’s not going to get better I am afraid.
Sue the parents.
Sue the bus driver.
Sue the school.
Then send your kid to private school.
That poor kid is marked for the remainder of his high school days no matter what the outcome of this. Where are the white and black leaders to renounce this thuggery? High school is devolving into Lord of the flies territory.
White people can’t be victims of a hate crime, they can only be the perps. The white race is the only race that hates other races dontcha know. The other races are just upset because whitey has been so mean to them.
The black community race baiters encourage this behavior by telling young black kids that whitey is keeping them down.
It’s no different than middle-easterners telling their children that Jews and Americans are keeping them down, though they do it with even more hate.
The outcome is expected and wanted by the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world. “Let’s you and him fight” has always been the tactic of those lacking in basic decency and courage.
the city of belleville has been targetted by racist blacks from east st louis for decades. the city of belleville was founded by whites driven out of east st louis in the 60s, and now they have a nice suburban city with a nice school district and a shopping district. over the past several years, they have faced racism charges because they dare to protect their people and their property. the police chief was labelled a racist because he stopped cars full of blacks cruising his streets at night. the mall owners have been accused because they won’t allow these gang thugs from east st louis to destroy the mall as they did in north st louis county. but of course the bussing of those poor yutes from the east st louis ghetto to the white school supported by it’s citizens gives ample access for thuggery. the belleville school district should eliminate bussing these thugs into the district.
Hell, same thing in East KC — the now Infamous Bannister Mall. Drive by that entire complex and it is a ghost town.
Hey look a bus full of Serena Williams relatives! Kanye West was probably driving the yellow missile, calling the shots from the PA system. Obama’s race healing at work all week long. I can’t wait to see the next hugs-&-healing news story.
Should we hold our breath until Jesse Jackson amd Al Sharpton come out with a statement deploring this?
There is also this story out of Buffalo NY that (shock of all shocks) CNN is covering (granted it is from a month ago.
I would do anything I could to make sure my child never returned to that school. And a lawsuit is definitely called for here. We have to stop letting the thugs win!! The thuggery goes all the way to the POTUS and seems to be “acceptable” these days. We must take our country back and taking back the schools and the streets is vital. Corruption can start at a very young age and if they get away with it, they will grow up corrupt. Those little dirtbags need to learn a lesson in living in a civilization…or be removed from it.
So, where’s Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson denouncing this criminal behavior?
Oh, that’s right, just some cracker. Move along, nothing to see here.
When my son was in 5th grade, the son of a very famous actor (actor was white; his wife was black) started beating a white kid on the playground. It took the P.E. coach and 4 of us volunteer playground moms to get the boy under control.
The principal took statements from all 5 of us, and gave the actor’s son suspension.
The actor & his wife filed a lawsuit, claiming racial prejudice. The principal was fired.
End result? I turned in my PTA card, took my son out of public school to homeschool him. He’s 19 and will graduate from UCLA in one year. 3.86 GPA.
Perhaps Kanye West, the new Racial Tolerance Czar, can correct this growing problem.
I know this sounds racist, but has anyone heard any stories of white kids beating up on a black kid? I really want to know. Because it just seems like the violence comes from the blacks. I know, racist! But can anyone give examples of where I might be wrong? I’m talking statistics here, not just random acts that aren’t representative of the whole race. Forgive me, I know I’m a racist. But…I’m just bringing up the possiblity!! And, can we finally admit that we are in the middle of a racial/cultural/ideoligical WAR?? The gloves have to come off. We are talking about our children here!!
To be fair here, the story has been updated and the police now say that the “racially motivated” quote was a rash comment made after one viewing of the tape and that they no longer believe that’s what was the motivating factor.
Somehow, though, I have my doubts…
Obama must be sooooo proud of his acolyte’s larva.
I’m tired of the double standard. If you oppose the administration your racist. If you work hard, get an education, and obey the law, your somehow a racist. If you defend yourself against an assault and the other party happens to be black, then you are a racist.
No more! I refuse to allow the “label” to be hung on me anymore. If someone calls me a racist, then I will challenge them and refuse to allow them to hang that label on me. It will not be met with silent disgust anymore. It will not be met with protests anymore allowing the other person to change the subject and put me on the defensive. There are only one predominate group of racists and they are not white.
It appears that we do not need Charles Manson to light the fires of racial hatred; we only need institutional cowardice and political correctness.
They are saying it’s not racial? BS. Look at it again. All the kid did was sit down.
I guarantee if the races involved were reversed, it would be as racial as the day is long.
Personally, I’d like to see the statistics on prosecution of hate crimes.
I suggest this event *not* be made about race.
I went through the same thing in my youth. It’s about predatory behavior in the schools and the fact that the “Adults” in these settings will not intervene.
The bullies in my school were all white. I remember certain teachers and bus drivers that were not cowards, but the system generally gets rid of those types pretty fast.
Maybe if the white boy had understood his place and taken a seat in the back of the bus, all would be well.
I’m sure this was just a simple misunderstanding. If he had just apologized for being white, the beatings would have stopped.
What this boy did to get beat was that he is a typical white supremicist rascist; he deserved what he got.
/sarc
I was just practicing for my upcoming job as news reader for MSNBC.
Well said. I am with you. Enough already.
Regarding the comment that the bus driver was no where in sight. The news reporter stated that the reporter did nothing to stop the attack. There could be a reason for the fact that the driver did nothing to stop the attack.
I have asked numerous bus drivers what they do when a student is attacked by other students on their bus.
The answer?
They are to try to get the police to come to their bus. They are not permitted to intervene. They are not permitted to stop the fighting and rescue the victim.
I asked this several times over the past few years because there have been numerous violent attacks on school students on school buses over the past decade which have been recorded on the bus’s camera. Several students were seriously injured and permanently impaired as a result.
Regarding the protocol to do nothing but try to get a police officer, good luck. You are in a moving bus. You are not sitting outside the police station or a donut shop.
Where are you going to find a police officer?
Also, tough luck for the child or children under assault. They will be seriously injured, possibly impaired for life, and possibly even killed, and the bus driver is supposed to do absolutely nothing to end the assault or protect the child or children who are the victims of the assault.
Of course it is unlikely that there are many “Bruce Lee’s” or “Chuck Norrises” driving the bus, so it is not as if the bus driver will be able to physically end the assault, but the fact that they re supposed to do nothing troubles me. Also, I have no doubt that many bus drivers could save the victim without being injured themselves, and without failing even if they aren’t Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris.
Another great reason to homeschool your children, or take them directly to school yourself rather than trust their safety to the bus without seat belts and with no one to protect your child.
Correction to previous post, # 806601 on September 15th, 2009 at 1:25 pm ” … The news reporter stated that the reporter did nothing to stop the attack. … ”
I meant to say “The news reporter stated that the bus driver did nothing to stop the attack.”
I apologize for the error.
Thank you.
William
What a coward. I guess the diversity training paid off.
So a black student beaten with white students cheering on is ALWAYS a hate crime and racially motivated, but a white student being beaten with black students cheering on is NEVER one.
We are now living in a culturally communist country where the proletariat can never be wrong.
If there were no whites on the bus the perps would have found any other kid to beat up. They may be racists, but do not think for a minute these little darlings are merely racists.
They do things like this becasue they enjoy it.
When they got out of jail they would be banned permentantly from the school system. With kids like this you should ask yourself, “What would Atilla the Hun do?”
Remarkable that racial tensions have intensified over the last six months.
Mo Dowd’s psychic ear hears “boy”. All the real incidents are black on white.
So much for post racial America.
Given the overbearing sense of racial entitlement that most black people in America have, and the encouragement offered to their worst aspects by the liberal-democrat establishment, these kind of incidents are going to become much more frequent and much more severe. Eventually white people will start fighting back — they will have to. The long term prognosis for race relations in this country is very bad. Maybe not as bad as what happened in Sri Lanka (see Thomas Sowell’s writing on that conflict), but I wouldn’t rule it out.
I like that thinking! That young man should not step foot back into that school system.
Beenthere – Yes, some white people will fight back. However, most of us will just leave the area, aka “white flight”. It is an entirely rational action in an irrational world. A sort of “John Galt” reaction.
This white kid was a racist since he was 6 months old. I red it in noosweek.
It’s a dirty little secret of American society that blacks can be far more hostile toward people of other races than the other way around, despite what 30 years’ worth of p.c. brainwashing has tried to tell us.
Add to this the welfare state, chronic out-of-wedlock births and single mom homes, and a toxic popular culture that sells aggression and thuggery as “cool,” and it’s open season on anyone who is an easy target. They know they won’t get charged with hate crimes because hate crimes are never charged if the victim is white. Look at the Jena 6, hailed as heroes for taking a free shot against a white teenage boy, from behind no less.
If your kids are in Government schools then you don’t really care about them. We were made to sign a “Zero Tolerance for Violence” policy in Colorado in the same district that Columbine took place. My kids were repeatedly bullied in their schools. (This was just a couple of years after Columbine) When we complained and informed them that our older Son had epilepsy due to a brain surgery the school officials informed the bullies and they targeted my sons head from that point on. When we complained again we were told that they wanted our son to stand in front of all the school bullies and explain why the bulling hurt. We decided that we would not help the school officials make our son a bigger target. We were told by the principle that our son must have been responsible for creating the anger in the bullies and therefore the root of the problem. When we disagreed he said we were the problem. When we got nowhere with school officials we went to the parents of the bullies and found out they had never been contacted by school or district officials. “Zero Tolerance” my Ass. No more Government schools for my kids.
Here is one of the worst cases of profiling I’ve ever seen – now they are looking for people in wheel chairs. I’d sue!
And then they will be prosecuted for hate crimes and start filling up the jails, if things keep going the way they are now. The marxist-socialist powers that be in this country are encouraging this kind of conflict because anarchy makes it easier for them to gain control, it’s in their playbook. Historically Marxist movements have often used this strategy. We are heading for race wars in America if we don’t take our country back.
Using “Hate Crimes” as excuses for criminals’ motivations (which only the perpetrators know) is what hampers the police from imposing swift and immediate consequences for such violent acts. Anyone who deliberately harms another human being is lacking any moral barometer by which to judge right and wrong – that is the lack of a conscience developed by clearly defined
Judeo-Christian principles.
“Tolerance” education/indoctrination has warped society, as we know it today, and infected the justice system.
Tolerating differences and recognizing differences among citizens does not mean “accepting and excusing” behavior when measured against what should be immovable boundaries of what is right and wrong.In our hearts &
minds, we know intuitively what is right and wrong, but the ambigious interpretations of right and wrong imposed over the years by the courts and liberal legal organizations (ACLU) are assaults against the most “fair-minded” citizens’ sensibilities.
Where are the leaders who will enable and encourage citizens to re-estabish, to reclaim, to pass on common sense moral standards in the home, schools, workplace, and throughout society NOW?
I do not believe in excuses for criminal behavior and violence based on or categorizing the crimes on
“Hate” as a motivation which establishes “special rights and excuses” for criminals and victimizes the victims again! The laws should and must protect victims! Period! jb
I suspect Rosa Parks just rolled over in her grave.
What a disgrace these “kids” are. It’s a shame they cannot be tried as adults.
that whole area, east st. louis, belleville, etc…are all democRAT areas, and have been for the longest time…its not a good place to be…
It is a tragedy to see the fruits of the civil rights movement bear out like this. Dreams of a day where children would be judged by the content of thier character are gone. Now we are left with a culture that idolizes violence and criminality instead of education, steadfast perserverence, and family.
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS???!!!! remember who said that?
I’ve read two posts here that compared Serena Williams to these punks who beat up the student. Serena Williams has apologized, several times. Her tirade was not beyond the level of temper tantrums by John McEnroe, Ilie Nastase or Jimmy Connors (who grew up in Belleville by the way). To compare her with these thugs is just stupid. Stop
Democrat-controlled unions control the teachers, the bus drivers, Democrat-controlled school boards promote zero enforcement of school violations and remove power from the teachers in the classrooms and the principals to enact meaningful punishments…
And we’re supposed to believe that a Democrat-controlled Congress will do better establishing a national health insurance plan then they currently do managing SCHOOL KIDS?
I have my doubts too. Sounds like someone must have been “spoken to” – i.e. the police have been cautioned to leave that nasty “R” word out of this. I may be wrong.
But guaranteed if the complexions of the perpetrators and the victim were reversed, that nasty “R” word would be page one news across the country, and Al and Jessie would be hurrying to support the victim.
I’m inclined to agree. Serena set a poor example as an athlete and a human being, but her vocal temper tantrum cannot in honesty be equated with a physical assault.
That was a line she didn’t cross, and until she does, I’d give her the benefit of assuming that she has some measure of self-control, and hopefully will learn from this episode to exercise it as much as she does her tennis swing.
I really don’t know what to say after viewing that beating. I feel for that young man who was only looking for a place to sit on a school bus.
What was he thinking?!? That’s sarcasm.
The culture is to blame. Those little thugs are to blame. That bus driver is to blame and putting a video camera on the school bus obviously is not nearly enough to curtail this sort of behavior.
He’s scarred for life and if he hates black people for the actions of a few miscreants, who would blame him?
Poor kid.
When my son was in the 7th grade, he was attacked by a “special needs” black kid. The kid, over 6′ and 200 lbs, picked him up and slammed him to the ground while his toady encouraged him to “end” my son. My son is about as nonaggressive as one can be and when it happened, he did the right thing and curled into a ball to protect himself.
I had to go to the school and pick him up. He was shaken but not physically harmed. When I got all the facts, I went to the principal first and asked her what the hell was going on? She tried to soften the incident and told me we had to be tolerant with special needs kids. My response,”kid my ass, this is a grown man and he is coming to school here, who the hell do you think you are kidding?” My next visit was to the superintendent of schools with a clear message that was not subject to interpretation.
“If this kid is back at school tomorrow, you won’t have to worry about the problem any longer. I will take care of it, whatever it takes and that is not a threat, it is a promise. You don’t screw with my family and get away with it.”
I don’t care for nor do I advocate violence but if pushed to it, I will do what it takes when it comes to my family. It is becoming more apparent that this old fashioned sense of protecting your family and country is fast disappearing into the annals of history. We have become a nation of wimps and cowards.
I disagree. I never heard any of them threaten a judge to “ram this f***ing ball down your f***ing throat”.
At first, I admit I agreed with the notion that McEnroe set a poor example. However, as much as he harangued judges and threw temper tantrums, I’m trying to recall if he actually threatened any of them with physical violence?
However, that’s not to say that I compare Serena Williams to these thugs.
There’s no comparison.
Congrates on your move to home school and protect your child while giving him a much better education…job well done.
spaceycakes, You wouldn’t get a dime from the city. It was just a stupid white kid that got beat by a black thug. Obama’s world view is, this is good but doesn’t go far enough.
Riddle me this:
What is yellow on the outside, black on the inside, and makes loud, piercing noises?
Why, a school bus full of race baiters such as Rev. Al, Brother Jesse, et al. going over a cliff at 55mph.
Riddle, part two:
What is the crying shame about the tragedy?
Two of the seats were empty…
Attacks like these are not new to our society, having said that, I am sure acts like this is much more frequent in the last 8 months. I’ve also notice more and more out right racist acts coming from the “poor picked on black people”. There is no justification for their ignorant(as in stupid) behavior…another way of saying “racist acts”. Ododpo has embolden the black radicals…election day in Philly was only the start, be prepared folks just one more aspect of our sick society led by liberals coming to ahead.
If it was my kid, I guarantee you someone would pay and I don’t mean the city with money, that part goes without saying.
Its open season on whitey. Blacks can say anything, do most anything without so much as a burp of backlash. They are loving it.
THANKS to YOU Mr. Post-racial President Comrade Odumbo.
It CAN’T be racially motivated, the ones doing the beating were black. And if it indeed was, it was merely reacting to hundreds of years of oppression and being kept down by “the man”.
No need to say more. I am sure all MM readers recognize sarcasm when they see it. Except possibly for lgm. Where has lgm been? This seems right up their alley.
I would never let my children, who are white, blond, blue eyed, ride on a school bus with a bunch of Democrat kids.
Please…we try hard not to speculate what might be up lgm’s alley…
Appears to be a bus load of Black panthers. I wonder what they are learning in the BLT church, I mean, at home.
My Lord. This poor white kid makes Rosa Parks look like a drama queen, doesn’t he?
Imagine if Ms. Parks took about 40 roundhouse punches to the head while a gang of white onlookers hooted and hollered with every infliction of blinding pain…and then tell me this wasn’t a racially motivated crime caught on videotape.
Still, I’m sure there will be no shortage of liberals out there who will tell me that I didn’t see what I just saw.
Well thanks be-a little integrity. But the point is a violent beating took place-that should be enough to jail then punks. Black on white/black/other or any other combination should NOT be the point–thugs belong in jail.
If that were my child/grandchild/other no lawyers needed. If they did not get hard time I would be morally obligated to take other action.
Yes Obama, Henry Louis Gates, Sharpton, Eric Holder and the White Guilt Cult are fanning the flames but we have always had thugs such as the punks on the bus. I am fairly sure there are others here who had to fight their way to school and back. The point is you make it so damn painful the punks look for other prey.
That is where dad, uncles, brothers, cousins and the clever old guys come in: If the police can’t take action (PC) touchy feely, mediation, let’s talk be damned: the point is you make it so damn painful the punks look for other prey.
Not to be overly crude but there are too many American men wearing their gonads under false pretenses.
Ahhh yes. Another tragic case of a pack of bus-bound gang-bangers beating the living crap out of a “nerd with glasses” who just ironically happened to be white.
Come to think of it, Reginald Denny always struck me as a bit “geeky” too.
Jimmy Carter has chimed in on the race issue: Americans only oppose Obama’s policies because he is a Black Man in America. Then why in the devil did lil’ Jimmy lose 44 states in 1980? Hint lil’ Jimmy: because as with Obama WE DID NOT LIKE YOU, YOUR POLICIES OR ANYTHING ELSE.
Now stay in Plains and shut up.
Off the track geographically, but was there ever any prosecution when, a few months ago, the lady was savagely brutalized in a public Baltimore bus?
This was a racial incident pure and simple.
I noticed the cops were backing off when I first read the story today.
…if this was racially motivated, then the racial grievance industry has nothing to stand on.
I watched the video. The white kid had been punched hard at least three times on the side of his face, and it continued when he was going down. It appeared as if he never tried fighting back at all. You could hear the bus driver yelling about settling down, as if the kids were just running around.
I couldn’t see in the video, but it looked like the kid was lying in the aisle for some time.
It would take some serious cooling off, but even then, it would be hard not to take a baseball bat to the punks that did this.
The bus driver as well for not giving a d@mn about one of the kids being beaten.
This just in: St Louis school officials promise parents they will never see this type of behavior take place on public school buses again.
To ensure this they are removing all school bus cameras.
Meant to say, “…if this was NOT racially motivated, then the racial grievance industry has nothing to stand on.”
Wow, the main stream propaganda monkeys have yet another race story to ignore, because it just doesn’t fit the race baiter’s guide to reporting.
Charlie … Charlie Gibson … Where are you Charlie?
Katie? Brian? George? … Anybody?!?!?
Can anyone imagine if a bus full of white kids had laughed at a black kid for being beaten by other white kids? The National Guard would have been called in and the school shut down. The driver would be charged as an accessory and Al and Jesse would have been on every major news outlet decrying the racial tone of America.
Now the police back off their original statements about this being racially motivated. Spineless wimps. This country is heading for ugliness like we never imagined possible. Where are the words of wisdom from Barry O?
This is what we get for paying this parasitic underclass to breed.
We’ve been watering the weeds for 50 years, and it’s only getting worse.
Repeat after me: racism is a white-only activity.
You can’t possibly be a racist if you’re black, brown or yellow.
