How many times is a teacher assaulted by a student every single day in the United States? I would say dozens.

Troubled kids with problems at home, along with little to no discipline, lash out physically at teachers all the time.

The kid in the OP's video will be expelled and most likely face criminal charges. Justice will be served.
This stuff is nothing new. The thing is, how do we prevent this from happening again??

Yes, that kid will like be prosecuted. However, he will have to come out of prison soon. He didn't commit murder. He might do something like this again. High rates of recidivism for violent criminals.

You are right. Somebody mentioned earlier in this thread, but young people who resort to violence to resolve conflicts will most likely grow up to be violent adults and engage in more violent conflicts.

I know it's cliché, but I think preventing these kid's issues start at home. Most kids who act out in school are products of their environment. I bet if you analyzed all the kids who attacked teachers over the last six months in the United States, and did a home study on them, you would find many of these children either come from crap situations, or have issues of their own. Father not around, mother on drugs, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, etc. Or they might suffer from depression, self-esteem issues, feeling isolated or not fitting in, on the autism spectrum, etc.

Now by all means I'm not excusing all these kids, personal responsibility still exists and we are all held accountable for our actions. Not every kid that has problems at home or mental issues is going around punching their teachers. But I bet more often than not, kids that resort to violence at a young age have issues that they don't know how to deal with, so they use violence to let out their frustrations.

On the flip side, some people are just mean, and others are plumb-crazy. People are people, and though home environment does play a role in your development as a human being, you're still responsible for your own actions. But I'd bet good money that most kids who get in trouble at school and get into a lot of fights are dealing with issues outside of school that children should never have to.

The truth is, there is an increasing percentage of the population that has no business being free in our society. And you can thank directly liberal pollution in our culture.

Actually, there have always been alot of people who shiuld never be in free society. You can't blame liberals for that. It's been a problem for at least a centiry. The difference is now social media has caught up. And many people got away with heinous stuff in the 40s and 50s. Plenty of violence during Prohibition. Memphis,Tennessee has been a violent city from day one.

Alot of this goes back to another sad reality. Some people should not have children. If a person cannot afford to raise a child, use protection. If you can afford protection, don't have sex.

This is what needs to happen. Better yourself, find a mate with that same mentality, get married, THEN have children. Many men out there are no good. So are many women. We have men impregnating women, and women picking the stupid and trashy men to get pregnant with. In some cases, women have sex with multiple men, and don't know who the father (or fathers) of their children are. Many of those women can't provide for their children. Many never grew up and make lousy parents.

If I was a betting man, I would say alot of kids ahould have been put up for adoption(I'm against abortion). Alot of violent kids are raised by lousy parents, in environments where violence is the norm. Many grow up being abused.

Milwaukee has had problems in their public schools for years, especially in the city's north side.

Depends on where you went to school. If you didn't go to school in a rough neighborhood, then it would likely be rare.

That is the sign of a sociopath right there. Laughing while watching a teacher getting beaten. Either said student is a sociopath, or violence is so normal to said person that laughing about it is no big deal to said person.
