Teens beat classmate on school bus over marijuana dispute [3 Blacks Pummel White Kid...]
Orlando Sentinel ^ | 8/6/13 | Adrienne Cutway

Posted on 08/08/2013 7:03:40 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Recently released video shows a 13-year-old boy receiving a barrage of blows and kicks from three 15-year-old boys as they all rode home in a Pinellas county school bus.

The dispute began on July 9 when one of the three boys tried to sell the younger boy marijuana while the two were in a bathroom at their drop out prevention school, prompting the younger teen to notify school officials, according to WFLA.com.

Later that day, Joshua Reddin, Julian McKnight and Lloyd Khemradj were on the bus when they confronted their peer about the incident and began beating him....

No hate crime? No cries of racism? No media outrage? No special prosecutor? No marches in the streets? No looking at the "parents" of these thugs?

The only way this could possibly be considered for the Hate Crime Statute is if the cracker was a homo.

Black kids have a right to beat white kids. Their ancestors were slaves.
That makes it right Dontchaknow.

Surprised they are not calling them "children" (as in Trayvon was a 'child').

I saw the video and am surprised they were only 15.

The school sent a “strong message” to those who report drug sellers. We WILL put them on the bus with you on your way home. We will NOT call their parents or send them home on suspensions for illegal activities. As a matter of fact, we may just handle them with kid gloves like we did with travon.

Fox & Friends missed the point on the student-beaten-up-on-the-bus-segment. The bus driver probably didn’t see it happening right away. He stopped it as soon as he could.
Instead of concentrating on the bus driver, we should be looking at the teenage thugs who were beating up this kid.

If the student had told the school about one of the three trying to sell drugs to him, why were the kids on the bus together? How did the thugs know who told? Why didn’t the school follow through? Why weren’t the parents of the thug called in earlier?
Did the police get called in about suspected drug deals?

If the police had been called in on Trayvon Martin’s drugs and stolen items, the Zimmerman-Martin incident may not have ever happened. Instead the school covered up the suspected burglary and gave him a school suspension only. After seeing the brutal beating given the student on the bus, it is much easier to visualize that Zimmerman was in fear for his life. You can see how out of control the thugs are.

I can’t believe the Orlando Sentinel even wrote on this, or that they actually named the little terrorists! And then they even mention that CNN covered the story! Never would thought.

The way I read the story, it was the bus driver’s fault. Of course, if he had intervened and hurt one of the poor victims of the urban jungle, a protected species he would have been prosecuted to or even past the fullest extent of the law.

So, they tried to sale him MJ, he told on them, and the admins let him ride the bus home together. I wonder if the parents of this poor kid realize now that the state doesn’t care about their kid. It’s too bad we don’t have video of St. Treyvon.

Two levels here: 1) Racial; and, 2) Criminals v. Law-abiding citizen.

But since the three thugs were sons of Obama, little will come of it.

But didn’t you read the source article? No mention of the race of the three who beat the other, nor mention of that child’s race, or the race of the school bus driver.

And careful editing of the tape to ensure that watchers can’t see the race of the victim - you know, to protect his identity.

Worst part is the pathetic excuse not to intervene, that it might ‘have made things worse.’ If a couple of those kicks and stomps had been at a slightly different angle, that 13 year old would have died.

Ultimate lesson for all students: You’re on your own on that bus. Talk about empowering the criminal element.

Not new. 20 years ago one of my sons was shaken down on the bus to buy a blunt from a black kid for $5. He brought it home and locked it in his little safe. Cops showed up an hour later. Turned out it wasn’t marijuana but was tobacco. Cop said it was not a crime to buy it but wanted our son to testify. Fortunately he didn’t have to. Another time though he witnessed a beat down and we went to court three times before the juvenile perp pled. Scary.

They're 325 miles north on US 19 in Tallahassee bitching to Gov. Scott about SYG.

Meanwhile a bunch of feral thugs beat up a white kid and not a God forsaken peep.

“over marijuana dispute”

The MSM always has a ready made excuse for black on white violence. It of course NEVER has anything to do with race.

When I was in Elementary school they started combining bus routes with other schools in our little town. We ended up with several black kids on our bus. A little black girl started beating up a little white girl for no reason. Every black kid on the bus jumped in and started beating up the white girl. All of us were too shocked to do anything. Those kids didn’t ride our bus anymore after that.

Sounds like the school has a zero tolerance policy. (sarcasm) The kid saw something, he said something, and he got the crap beat out of him.

Plus, the headline, “marijuana dispute,” makes it sound like the white kid was a drug dealer too, which he obviously was not.

Not only should these thugs be tried for beating the kid, but also for selling pot in school. Don't schools have those "tough" no tolerance policies for drugs?

While these thugs will get some rinky-dink juvenile court sentence, I wish they be tried as adults and do hard time in an adult prison. Maybe if these young thugs were gang raped and beaten in an adult prison for a couple of years it would be a deterrent to other would be thugs.

The racial hatred of whites in the black community is pervasive. When it finally blows its going to be nasty.

When was the last time we had a story about three white kids beating up a black kid? It just doesn't happen anymore. We are not the racists, but because of our self imposed collective guilt we've looked the other way at black on white hate crimes.

Dr MLK never had a dream like this, did he, Jesse?

“Surprised they are not calling them “children” (as in Trayvon was a ‘child’)”

Yeah, noticed that the bus driver, who appeared to me to be a reasonably fit middle aged man, wanted no part of the action and refused to wade in and break up the “ass whopping” being administered by those 15 year old “children”.

The yutes from JOhnson’s great society culture are enforcing the rule in their tribal region, to include drug commerce even on school conveyances, proving who it is that actually rules the turf. Allowing such jungle behavior is a hallmark of the obamaroid racist, degenerate regime.

What is a "drop out prevention" school?

Is that for the kids that will most likely drop out no matter what you try?

Yes, and the “legal system” will not do anything by way of providing justice to the victim. So we may be on our way in cases like this to hire hit men, rather than lawyers.

Hate crime laws were created to put Whites in jail for anything they say or do, or don’t say or don’t do, and to set free non-Whites who attack Whites.
I will never back down from that statement.
Never.
The left and its media branch sees nothing wrong with this. The want the ‘oppressed’ underclass to rise up against its ‘oppressors’

The noble experiment has failed.

I actually am not sure how to handle a situation at our local high school. Our AD told me “half the school students did grass.” I, was amazed. In talking with my freshman daughter, she says she knows lots of freshman that smoked pot before football practice everyday - they will be sophomores soon.

My son is on the Varsity squad class of 2014 - started OL as a sophomore said lots of guys are smoking. He is a geek so is at his computer most of his off time and says if we complain about how much computer time he uses and he says well, I am not doing drugs.

I wonder if the increase in sports injuries in HS have anything to do with this.
