    What those kids did to that poor lady is absolutely despicable.

    After having watched the video - holy fuck, such hatred from children.

    CHILDREN.

    I'd say not only their actions are despicable, but they themselves were too.

    I'm looking at the parents as well, big time.

    For all the stupid shit I said and did as a kid, I never was this vicious...just wasn't who I was.

    Bullying is bad, mkay.

    But with all of te attention this is receiving and how much money people are donating to her... I am feeling less and less bad for her. This could be the best thing that has ever happened to her. How much is that donation fund up to? $500,000?

    What they should do after the suspension is remove their bus rights for good...plus they need to be made to stand in front of their school with a sign that reads "I Am A Bully". None of this will happen because it might damage their self esteem... :fp: :fp:

    She didn't ask for the donations (which frankly, I'm not sure what purpose the funds intend to serve but I find it touching how people are reaching out to her).

    Anyway, the best thing?

    Nah.

    No one should be treated like that, and money is pointless in this situation.

    You know what would be awesome?
    If she gets $750,000.00 and heads off to Las Vegas and blows it all on whiskey, gigalos, cocaine and the craps table.

    That's a shit load o blow. But I digress.. If this isn't evidence that our culture and society is regressing then I don't know what is. I mean hey I wasn't a great kid growing up and I did a lot od stupid shit,but I never acted like that towards my elders. I mean wtf ? That was just plain cruel. If those were one of my kids they would be at her house every Saturday mowing her lawn, raking leafs , or what ever she needed.

    No kidding! When I was in 5th grade I broke a window at school playing soccer in the boys room and that little stunt got me something like 20 hours of window washing and yard work. If I'd done what these kids did I'd still be doing time with Windex and a rake.

    I know right? I was just stunned when I seen it.


    A couple of weeks ago I was at a boat landing on the edisto river and while we were getting our canoes ready these kids were hanging out and drinking beer. And then some kid comes running down the side of this over pass/ bridge and barges right through us and tells us to " Get the fuck out of my way!!!" I was shocked :shock: this kid couldn't have been older than 16. And this was out in the boonies. He was some wanna be thug white kid with his pants hangin off his ass. Wtf? Man?
  • lukin2006lukin2006 Posts: 9,087
    I never would have done that...just plain cruel...

    But the problem with kids today is they are spoiled...

    Hopefully some stiff punishment is handed out, I have my doubts though.

    I have a feeling she'll do something worthwhile - philanthropic - with all of that.

    Man, I'd hope so.

    And given the amount donated, I'm floored yet again by how charitable some people can be (without it being imposed!).

    Can someone explain to me how sending this lady money is helping her out in this situation?

    I know it's nice for her to take a vacation, etc. But money doesn't just magically cure things and it seems that this is what we've become...something wrong? Here's a check! Feel better?

    Maybe we should do a scientific experiment. I'll be the volunteer. Everybody send me a check and I'll let you know how it feels. ;)

    I get what you're saying - actually agree - and alluded to it earlier myself.

    I guess sometimes people just want to help, show sympathy, and don't know any other way.

    I couldn't watch more than a few seconds of this it felt sickeningly voyeuristic.But the little I did watch made me so fucking mad.
    I would have kicked every one of those little fuckers arses then quit.No job on this earth is worth that shit.Society is fucked up and it's getting worse.
    Jeez I would have had my arse leathered red raw if I had ever spoken to or treated anyone with such contempt and disrespect.
    The donations are a nice thing for the lady but in the long term it is merely a sticking plaster over the situation,it is not a cure to the fucked up world we live in.
    These kids will likely have had money thrown at them their entire lives and look how they are turning out.

    I just don't find this video particularly shocking. In fact, this behaviour seems fairly run-of-the-mill to me. I've certainly seen worse from middle school students. If anything, the only reason people are offended by this behaviour is because the video went viral. Bus drivers and lunch room supervisors are often subjected to much worse.

    ...
    I'm kind of in the same boat as you are...
    "OHHHH!!! SHOCKING!!! Middle School aged kids acting like fucking assholes? UNHEARD OF!!!"
    ...
    Weren't any of these people that are offended ever IN Middle School? The place is a fucking minefield. These are punk kids that know adults can't do jack shit to you as long as you don't physically touch them. If an adult does anything in retaliation... you hide under the guise of, 'But... I'm only a little child'.
    Oh... I guess we should be shocked because... we know how kind (not cruel) kids can be.
    ...
    Personally, I hope to FUCK... that I don't need a fucking job on a school bus full of fucking Middle School assholes when I'm 68.

    maybe the bus monitor can pay it forward to this little 10 year old girl. Seems like she could use a vacation too.
