Blacks have been getting a pass in the media when they commit crimes. The media will only mention race if it is a white that commits a crime.

The racist here on CD will make up lies and take the wrong side every time.

What do you expect? they are being raised like this.

No excuse for this at all.

That's the kind of thing that a bully would do.

That was the police chief's conclusion, not mine.

Yes, that's what bullies do.

Come on. Just reading that article I feel for that kid. It's so sad that he can't sit where he wants without getting beaten up and everyone else was just watching and laughing. I think the punishments were fair in regards to the school expelling the attacker and suspending bystanders for not doing anything.

Whether racial or not it was disgusting, and if the roles were reversed you can bet your ass Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would have the first flight there (first class), and Obama would say how the school had acted "stupidly" for a mere expulsion.

I'm expecting a follow up story of how the quiet white kid had looked at the attacker the day before in a racist manner.

Have the parents of the child who was beaten up come out and said differently? Has anyone else? Or do you think this is a big cover-up that the child's parents are willingly going along with?

Oh yea something will be made up to show the white kid caused this.

I agree, Jesse Jackson would be in town in hours and offering the little punk a free college tuition package like his did the **** in NC.

Dispute over seat sparked attack on school bus, student says - STLtoday.com (http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/illinoisnews/story/60D37B6EC5FF4711862576320011605B?OpenDocument - broken link)
And earlier posts on this thread attest to the fact that this is what was originally reported. So how was the press hiding it?

Pardon but from watching that video, was it not two people beating on that kid at different times? 1 for the seat, the other for who knows why.
