Allen West on white boy’s bus beating: Where’s Jesse Jackson?
Washington Times ^ | August 9, 2013 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Former Florida Rep. Allen West had harsh words of criticism for nationally known civil rights activists like Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton, who have remained silent on a video showing black teens beating a white boy, 13, on a school bus: “Ya’ll just make me sick.”

The video, which went viral this past week, depicts a July 9 assault on a Pinellas County school bus. Three black teenage boys, all age 15, beat a white boy, while the bus driver — who has since resigned — tries to verbally halt the altercation but does not physically intervene.

The beating, it was later reported, was due to the victim’s report to school authorities that one of the videotaped assailants tried to sell drugs to him...

I hold more at fault the school administration that did not act immediately when informed those 15-year-olds were selling drugs at school

Not that it makes much difference but these punks probably didn't even have 'real' pot to sell the 13 yr old. They play the age old hustle and try to get younger kids to buy a fake bag of weed so they can take the money and get themselves some real stuff. That scam is as old as the hills in the hood when it comes to cheating whitey for money.

To think this little white kid was horrifically beaten because he did the right thing and told on them. He did exactly what all the parents and teachers and authorities told him to do in such a situation. And look what it got him. These little coward thugs should never be allowed back in that school.

You are correct, it is a gang predator thing.

You might **** up 3 of them but one of them is going to get you.

There’s a lesson to be learned here. If you are white and you don’t want the force of the race baiters bearing down on you and you’re getting the living snot beat our of you by black people, you simply take it like a man. Do not fight back. Do not defend yourself. The evidence is apparent.

Could you imagine what would have happened if the little white kid had a weapon of any kind and it was used defend himself? What would Jesse say? What would Al say? What would Oprah say?

We’ve seen the evidence and we know the lesson.

West isn’t making any sense.

The kids got beaten for telling the school administration that the black kids tried to sell him drugs. I think a black kid trying to do the right thing would get beaten too.

The kids were arrested right away.

Not everything is about race all the time, and the constant PC games of how everything is racist all the time is getting old.

Like the christians hunted down and murdered in egypt, this is the prerequesite for further violence and unreporting. Local White on black crime a national crisis reported at nausium and paraded with the likes of the ultimate racists at large sharpton and jackson. Black on white crime, you can hear the crickets, no reporting, not important unless it’s a senators daughter son or family member, black on black blame the GOP, the tea party, the NRA, conservatives and old rich white guys.

“Third, if he gets hurt himself, which is more likely, he runs the risk of leaving a bus full of kids without adult supervision with assailants on board.”

Under the current rules. Those three could beat the crap out of each child one at a time. He and the company he works for would be sued if he intervenes. I think this is crap! I would lose my job, but I have no patience for bullies. Those punks would have been eating the pavement. Not on my watch.

It’s the driver’s nightmare, no doubt about it. Nobody wants to see kids get hurt but in the O-conomy, some people can’t afford job loss either.

I understand that. It is sad to see our society being dragged down to this level.

Train drivers how to use a taser.

The ACLU and tame Federal judges will bankrupt school districts if that happens.

Put a teacher AND a parent on the bus and it MAY solve the problem....maybe.

Defang the ACLU and other scumbag tort lawyers then clean out the bench, bring back corporal punishment in schools and things might turn around.

Very early in life, while in public school, these thug learn that they will not be held accountable for their misdeeds.

I doubt it’s about if it’s race related or not, rather, it’s about how incidents do or do not make the national news.

Imho, there is no way of knowing if these brats would or wouldn’t beat up a black kid for telling the school about drug selling. Then again, I doubt the black kids would tell!

I applaud Allan West for calling out the 2 idiots Jesse and Al.

Early hard intervention might actually save some of these young men their lives later on down the road.

Lol. That and always go with the one who has the loudest mouth and the most to prove. Knock that one out and chances are the others will back down and/ or scatter.

I don’t personally blame the bus driver for what happened.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I agree! Three 15 year boys and **one** bus driver? What could he do other than call 911?
