Student beaten on bus in Missouri
Rurik sends this link to the story about a gang-sized beating on a bus from Belleville West high School near St Louis, MO;
I hope this bus driver gets canned for just shouting (?) “Sit down, guys”. The very least he could have done is pull the bus over and call the police, f’Pete’s sake.

Human garbage. Take the thugs around back and give them what they got.
If you think that’s bad, check this video of a student beating a female bus driver:
Warning graphic video
C’mon people! They aren’t thugs, in fact, they are trying to turn their lives around. Not that we’ve heard that lately, or anything.
Was that a IVAW BOD meeting????
Well, apparently the chief of police now thinks there was no racial element in the assault by the black students on the white student. He’s supposed to release another statement this afternoon. I guess he got a call from Holder who explained the facts of life to him. I really hope people keep this story alive and keep the heat on the Chief of police to ensure this isn’t awept under the rug. If there was another reason this beating took place (hey, it’s high school anything is possible) then we should know as this story is pretty volatile.
Now reverse the races of the victim and aggressors. Tell me that they wouldn’t be making a made-for-TV movie about this incident. Of course, it’s usually only in the movies where gangs of white thugs attack poor, innocent black people. It’s in real life where gangs of black thugs attack poor, innocent white people.
This reminds me a lot of certain situations I lived through as a child. White kid ganged up on by black kids because the black kids perceived him to be weak and because they knew that they could turn any confrontation into a racial confrontation, which they will automatically win simply by being black. Authority figures letting it go and letting it go precisely because they’ve been taught to treat black kids with kiddy gloves. And then something like this happens.
Sorry, I couldn’t bring myself to watch…white or black. It’s all wrong.
I hope this bus driver gets canned for just shouting (?) “Sit down, guys”.
How about caned instead? That would work.
While individual opinion may be countered, statistics count for the record. Add a continuing generational dilapidation to this colorful menagerie and… well, we’ve got a future shit-show on our hands, don’t we?

Human garbage. Take the thugs around back and give them what they got.
When I saw this I saw a bunch of dumb ass kids.
Not a black / white problem.
I still say it looks like an IVAW meeting.
I bet the parents of the beaters think their kids are the victims of an intolerant society,school and justice system.
Unfortunately, I see this for what it was. A black on white beatdown. I feel for that kid not being able to fight back, 1, because it’s probably not in his nature, and 2, probably knowing full well that if he would’ve landed a punch of any significant nature, the rest of them would’ve taken turns on his head. That bus drive should be ashamed of himself. He saw every bit of what went on in the mirror.
That being said, props to the poor kid as his head took a pummeling and he was still conscious, looking, anyway. He’s no Gerry Cooney.
Hope they get prosecuted. Actions have consequences.
I agree with Sponge, there should be punishment for the actions.
An Army reservist was beaten recently in a similar manner, racial slurs yelled and heard by witnesses to boot.

Sniper has it right, should be a new law. You get what you gave.
