Where have you been? The video was on CNN for days as well as opinion clips, interviews with the bus driver who did nothing etc.

If the roles were reversed and 3 white guys were beating a black boy, you and Eric Holder would be screaming racism and you know it.

Imagine the media frenzy over that.


It would be bigger than Trayvon, right now.

Without getting physical, the bus driver clearly stopped the continuation, with his voice.
So, don't even try to go there.

What if the white kid in the middle of that, went all Zimmerman on them, would it be justified?

Hmmmm... given that it was 3 on 1, which is clearly an unfair advantage, were the bus drive to intervene, I'd be inclined to give him a pass. Just sayin'.

Oh I don't know, does the Zimmerman case ring a bell? G.Z. was charged and tried in a court of law so why the ongoing protests? Hmmmm?
Why did it make the news over and over and over again?
Where's Jesse and Al on this? Will his highness Obama discuss this case on TV when he speaks today? Why not?

Treat those boys as adults and put them in prison where they belong...no doubt alongside many of their relatives that are of the lowest of our society.

You are free to gather your friends and hold a pro White rally if you feel more needs to be done.
George was arrested and charged too. Yet the outrage continued even before the verdict.

School bus fight


The kids have been arrested and charged. You're beating a dead horse, again.

At the point that the bus driver could be killed by said teens or if he touched them arrested and sued for daring to do the right thing.
My wife was a school bus driver (thank GOD she isn't anymore) and I always told her to walk away if something like that happened as the driver will ALWAYS lose.
I remember one kid who was tapping her with a broom handle while she was driving and then patted her face as he left the bus saying "I'm just messing with you don't worry about it". She reported the kid and wanted him removed from her bus until he could keep his hands to himself. The bus manager downplayed the incident and said "I know that kid, he's harmless". The next day the kid was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon (a pistol) after he pointed it at a kid when he'd gotten off the school bus.

The bus driver did the right thing. Stand back, tell 'em to stop and let the police deal with it. Your damned if you do and damned if you don't but at least if you don't you're still healthy and unhurt.
