Agreed. I’d like to hear more about this teacher and what informs the attitude towards this girl and possibly all the other students. It seems the culture in this school is abysmal considering not only what happened to this girl and the acceptance of it, but also the fact that a second girl was arrested for expressing…

Thank you and others for chiming in. It is so clear he is just getting off on the violence and has no regard for her safety or life. Your response gives the lie to all those “we don’t know what happened leading up to this” comments. It doesn’t MATTER. This was wholly unnecessary and this man is a violent criminal who…

Honestly what’s your point. If you wind up in foster care either through neglect or being abandoned, I’d imagine you’d be handling emotions that nobody can shoulder successfully without taking a lot of time to heal. What’s the crucial point here?

Hmm, either way she has walked out on the kid.

Not going backwards at all just FINALLY getting a little bit of realistic discussion! Hope the trend continues and actually gets us somewhere. Also hope whatever progress may be made extends beyond just the US.

It is exactly the same now.

Don’t you understand? Black people need to be blindly and immediately subservient and apologetic at all times. I thought this was common knowledge.

Apparently plenty. they have at least one 4-star all vegan restaurant there.

Yeah they’ll sneak it onto your plate and even throw it at you. Good times.

Yeah ex-vegans can really suck, but you know what I’ve noticed? All my friends who were really insufferable as vegans are the ones who became ex-vegans. Like they were so high and mighty about being vegan, and now they are the quickest to roll their eyes at it. I’m vegan and I could care less who knows or doesn’t…

Wait, you’ve never met a vegan who doesn’t make a big deal out of it?

As a vegan this is 100% my experience. I never allow myself to enter the discussions because they are almost always abusive and I totally don’t care what other people eat. It’s so clearly defensive behavior.

You can guess if you want to weirdo

Ok, for real? It was a very affluent, very white, very well regarded public high school in northern virginia. And that story only sticks out to me because we were all so embarrassed, I certainly witnessed kids do much worse, much more offensive, much more disruptive and sometimes even violent things on a regular basis…

Exactly. They think she needs to be put in her place. It doesn’t occur to them that the sound of that chair hitting the floor could easily have been her skull if his hands slipped. If that was my kid I wouldn’t wait for an investigation I’d go burn that piece of shits house to the ground.

Yeah I’m sure she was waving a knife around 2 seconds before the video started.

Seriously imagine what would happen if people like this had guns. Kids would get shot every time they reached into their backpack.

There’s no point qualifying your statement with condemnations of the cops behavior if your ultimate point is that this girls behavior was somehow extreme. We’ve all been to high school, and, no. There are high schools where students have thrown desks out windows and at teachers - that requires a security guard and…

Seriously. She pulled her phone out. I once witnessed a kid stand and offer his sexual services to a substitute teacher via a 10 minute soliloquy that had us all cringing. THAT was disruptive, and I still learned from it. Nobody had to be body slammed.

I hope you’re trolling I mean seriously this is high school. Class gets disrupted sometimes. Jaysh
