BULL SHIT! She is lying out her ass! I go to unioto he did not hit him when he walked in the door he tryd to stop him and talk to him cause Zach the "gay" kid. kept calling the other student sexy and harrasing him with names he wouldn't normally be called. The other student just wanted to talk instead zach threw his book at him and tryd to hit the other kid that's why he got his ass whooped.

Just because he's gay doesn't mean he can't defend himself. Smack the bully back, beat them to the ground. It's the only way they'll learn...

The parents are ultimately responsible. The whole idea of procreation is to pro create, make something better than what you are, in all respects. Forcing them to be like you, without encouragement to be themselves can be destructive. There are other peer-related forces at work, but they lead to the same source; the parents. I was brutally attacked by a gang of teenagers a few years ago. My jaw was shattered. Who do you think I blame?

@TheSinpher Looks to me like he is chasing him through the room. "Threw a book at him"? Calling him "sexy"? That's reason to give someone a beating? Fuck you.

Yeah I go with what this guy said. We don't know the rest of the story, or the whole story. So I'm not gonna waste my time and life commenting on this vid. It's not worth it. This just causes drama.

We don't know what that kid might have said to him before, this only shows the fight and one side of the story.

[SuperHop24]

@Jx1x3 but even though he's gay, why beat him because of that?! Now I could understand If he did something that could cause him to get his ass beat. But not because he's gay! I would only beat someone if they were flirting with me, or hitting on me and I didn't want them to.

@Zeldagigafan90210 "that [a concussion] could result in a coma?"

A splinter could result in blood poisoning. Concussions happen all the time.

"bullying can lead victims to suicide"

So can teenage angst. You can't prosecute people for actions they don't commit (ie suicide).

"it's harassment"

That is a prosecutable offense & easily definable.

However, 'bullying' is barely definable.

In this case...it was a HS fight. They happen....a lot. Not life-sentence worthy.

[Zeldagigafan90210]

@festdir a concussion not serious? are you aware that it could result in a coma?

[Zeldagigafan90210]

@festdir it's been recorded that bullying can lead victims to suicide, and should you be a bully, then you should face punishments equal to what the outcome would be, you made a conscious decision to bully a kid, and must be willing to accept the consequences of that crime (it's harassment).

Fags always talk a lot of shit, so this one is probably deserved

[festdir]

@Zeldagigafan90210 "nearly to death"

What?

"serious conditions (like a concussion or chipped tooth)"

Neither of those is 'serious condition'.

"I would chip the tooth of this kid"

Judging by your hysterical assessment of this HS fight...I'm sure you are a tough character. Really. But thanks for your support of assulting a minor. How totally not idiotically inconsistant.
