Agreed. Definitely a blood stripe on the pants so would appear to be a Marine Corporal or higher.

He's just separating them with his feet, but your still shot makes it look like the Marine is getting a stomp in himself.

Assuming he really does have some kind of mental/developmental defect, the problem with people like this is they cannot be fixed. Not all mentally deficient people are bad or violent, but for those that are, society has two choices of how to handle them until medical science finds a way to completely fix/repair their brain.

Either we lock them away for life, or we put them down.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Haha! I didn't even think about this, it was just the best shot of the stripe!

The most disturbing element of this was the lackadaisical response from the marine. She could have been killed and he's walking with no sense of urgency.

Unbelievable.

I am not a marine or a trained professional fighter but I don't think I could ever in a million years be so casual about something like that.

This is a special needs situation, not a race situation.

It's interesting that there's probably posters on this thread that would get upset with black people for "inserting race into everything" and then they themselves insert race into this situation where it isn't warranted.
He especially needs to be in jail.

Why won't anyone step in????????



Because they will get sued.

90% of people will choose the course of action that protects themselves over helping another.

Teachers created that culture when they allowed administration to dictate that both students in a fight get punished regardless if one was defending himself.

Society created that culture when they demanded that teachers cpuld not touch students.

Parents created that culture when they stopped supporting teachers.

From a meta POV there is ALOT of blame to go around.

It's gonna get worse before enough people get sick of it that they demand change.


I think it has very little to do with getting sued.


People just don't want to get hit. Im going to assume that most of the people responding to this thread are males (given the responses).

The situation posted looks entirely different if you are a woman. I worked in a school where teachers were afraid to be out in the hall because of a fear of getting hit or beat up. It's an awful environment. Most teachers don't get into teaching expecting that physical harm is going to be part of the reality of the job. Almost none of them were trained in self defense or how to safely break up fights. At the end of the day, its a scary situation to put yourself between people in a fight.

When you are in a high school the level of injury increases quite a bit. I never had a problem stepping in to help out a coworker, but towards the end of my teaching days I sure as hell thought twice before getting in between students. If a student got knocked down or can't defend themselves, obviously you step in. I actually started using a survival whistle to break up fights. Some loud blasts from 130dB whistle broke up way more fights and dispersed crowds much quicker than I could by myself.

Getting beat up sucks and most people are going to do everything they can to avoid it. Its why I ultimately left teaching.

jesus, that red haired chick is more of a man that the marine. She covered the entire hallway in the span it took hm to set his iphone down and casually walk over. I've gotta think that guy is rethinking his life choice having seen that footage played on news media non stop.... it looks absolutely terrible. and that beast needs to be removed from society. this pandering to the violent mob of "every child is just so precious" is absolute bs.

It's not weird. That's also cultural. People are *******. Very few have a violent repercussion side any more. You know all that toxic masculinity everyone talks about being bad? Remember how all that needs to go away? This is what life looks like when toxic masculinity is bred out of males.

Fighting back and defending others has NOTHING to do with rules. Rules are used as a crutch for people to be weak. You either have the instinct to violently kill/protect or you don't.

Try to punch the ginormous kid to get him off the teacher and you could become the next Derek Chauvin.

Ten bucks says this kid's family would take the deal.

I am shocked at the number of times special needs mentioned. There is no acceptable excuse for this type of violent behavior.
There is also no excuse for lack of response by the marine. What a disgrace to the Marine Corp, if this was 25 years ago he would be forced out; but that was then.

"What is the most precious thing in the world? I see now that it is the knowledge that you have no part in injustice. Injustice is stronger than you, it always was and always will be, but let it not be done through you."

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn,

"A decline in courage may be the most striking feature that an outside observer notices in the West today. The Western world has lost its civic courage . . . . Such a decline in courage is particularly noticeable among the ruling and intellectual elite, causing an impression of a loss of courage by the entire society."

Softening the language won't stop you from being labeled a racist if you point out things like violent crime statistics or out of wedlock births or any number of unbiased metrics. It's useless to worry about what the leftists and their media calls you.

A lot kids with a discipline or socialization issue are now special needs. It's a wide spectrum. If he's that special needs that he's dangerous, he shouldn't be in a normal school.


You're right but, at least in texas, they do everything they can to keep them in normal school and progress them along.

Because of equity. Or money. Or both. The kids come last in the isd's equations.

Follow the $$. The feds send $$, in 2011 it was 4k/ kid in public school. Plus reembursement for bus rides, meals and other charges. School district sends the bills to DC and District is sent a check that can go into general fund to help regular Ed.

This is also why we have "juvy". For outstanding citizens like this.

Where's Al Sharpton? I bet he will not be taking his private jet to this school to defend this teacher.

I blame the teacher here.

If you got a 6'6 / 270lb kid quietly playing his Nintendo switch ... you leave that kid alone.

Thats best case scenario

Live to fight another day.

Man, I dunno - with the rules they have on teachers nowadays, not sure I wanna get arrested for trying to protect a fellow teacher.
The rules allow teachers to protect themselves and other students. You step in and do the right thing.
Someone should tell them.

The right thing is kicking that ****stick in the face and getting his big ass off her, ASAP.

Lots of special needs students-- especially the ones labeled emotionally disturbed are given the keys to the school! Their BIP or behavior Intervention Plan makes teachers believe you cant do this or that for behavior modification or teachers themselves will get in trouble. Any good SPED diagnostician will fight tooth and nail to not let an ARD committee label a kid ED-- especially if it is the kids parents who are looking for an avenue of excuses for their kid who has no rules at the house and is really just a turd, or is drugged up. Once kid has the label, they are smart enough to know what they can get away with. When people back off at the temper tantrums, they will push envelope thinking they can get away with beating someone..
Having worked at school at group home, where 90% were ED, this was true, but you add in mental illness and abuse and lots and lots of behavior modification drugs, which I can see this kid being at. Group homes are mini prisons, and behavior is same almost.

I've got a lot of respect for you, Nai. Thanks for bringing your perspective to this, because you have lived it. Sucks that this was a determining factor in needing to do what's best for you and your fam.

Mucho respect to you, man

I will get blasted for this-- but answer for this type kid is yes.
He doesn't need to be doing Alg II.
You could take some kids like him and and ask him to sweep floors, wash your car and tell him you got a twenty dollar bill waiting for him. He would do a jam up job. Freaking FEDs, make us keep them in classes as to not hurt their feelings. Probablly in this setting he could have played some ball too- and not been in suspension all the time.
