I'm not talking about job duties or job requirements, at what point in this country did it become acceptable for an adult male to stand by and watch 3 teenagers beat 1 helpless teenager on the floor of a school bus while he screamed for help?

The court case was about a man who shot an attacker and was found not guilty of a crime, Trayvon Martin was not murdered.

What does a lawyer's skin color have to do with anything? It's hard to understand why some of you are as racist as you are.

And by "stand by and watch" , you must mean "stop the bus and call for law enforcement to come help." Which, clearly, is what he should have done, since there's no way he could win. If the kids beat him, then he's put his hands on the kids, he's in the hospital, and the kids can take over the bus. And if he somehow manages to beat the snot out of the three of them, then we'd be hearing about how he was being charged with battery of a minor or some such.

As to the OP, this story was already covered in another thread on this site, and all over the place on the Internet. And as others have said, there's nothing unique here to protest, since the three attackers have been arrested and charged. Now, if you wish to join in on a "stop the violence" rally, feel free to do so - people hold them all across the US.

That still isn't grounds for being fired, the man called for help and did what he felt he was capable of doing. Not every 64yr old man is built like Rambo and able to beat off these teenage males.

You are free to gather your friends and hold a pro White rally if you feel more needs to be done.
if they had any fortitude, and any real concern for the black community, they would be out on the streets loudly protesting the fact that blacks seem to be involved far too much in crimes, especially drug crimes, and trying to do something about it. the only time they seem to be interested is when it is white on black crime so they can get in front of the cameras and scream racism at the top of their lungs.

i agree, it was criminals being criminals.

if the bus driver had intervened, and one of the thugs got hurt by the driver, regardless of the circumstances, the bus driver could have been held criminally and civilly liable, and most certainly would have lost his job. what would you have him do, beat up three teenage punks? yeah that would have gone down well in the media.

Of course, that was the story the murderer wanted you to believe and it looks like you ate it all up. Good for you.

This country is filled with pathetic people who believe that it's just too dangerous to get involved even when they are right up next to another human being getting kicked on the floor by 3 attackers.

I'm glad I'm not one of those people.

The media wouldn't have done him anything, he's black and black on black crime doesn't get them any ratings.
