not this one

perhaps you can tell us who the others are. isn't 'you people' obviously plural, not to mention being a phrase that usually inspires instantaneous wails of 'racism' when used by people-not-of-color?

Oh FFS. I saw that dreadful video, and the poor bus driver's comments, several times.

I felt so bad for the driver. Well and the kid, of course. He was in an awful situation. Disgusting behavior.

completely disagree...

are you aware of the vast racial history of this nation? it is certainly justifiable to (more so) presume racial bias in a killing/servere attack on a minority by a white person than vice versa. then investigate and see if theres any merit in the presumption...

3 white kids beating a younger black kid would be all over the news.
This was a savage beating not a school yard fight they should be charged with a hate crime. Wheres Obama on this? This young white boy could be his son after all Barry is a halfcracker uncle Tom

It's amazing to see people justify racism when it fits their agenda.

And yet they wonder why the rest of us look at them with disdain.

I like my solution of a little "payback." Eye for an eye... no need to get hung up on skin color. A bit vigilante? Maybe. But the little punks would think twice before trying it again if the favor were returned.

Why should a 64 year old man get in the middle of 3 15 year olds? The poor guy could have been fired or even killed.

Remember if he walloped one of the kids he could be thrown in jail, lose his job and sued. Heck they tried filing charges on him for not getting involved.
This happened to my son some years ago
except the punks were white trailer trash but old dad waited on these punks one night end of trouble ...now they call me Mr.Tibbs.

Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

Black folks are too permissive about the violence our young men commit. I was never jumped by 3 boys and stomped on. Sorry this doesnt happen everyday.
That's convenient.

And yeah...it DOES happen everyday. All the time....a hundred times a day.

Just because you're closing your eyes doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

When you got your ass whipped as a kid by other kids, did your parents call the FBI?
