    Until then he will bully away left unchecked due to violation of rights people.

    Well, this thread surpassed a single page. Imagine that!

    Subbing middle and high school... I'd rather take my chances in a lions den.

    Hahahaha. I made a bad wager.

    Tough one though: lion's den or subbing middle and high school.

    Really tough.

    yea hopefully he doesn't end up shoving some poor self employed store owner and stealing cigarellos then walk in the middle of the street and refuse to move out of the way when a cop asks him too. #teacherslivesmatters

    True. The big difference is the lions don't mess with your head and you always know where they're coming from.

    As I pointed out in my first post however, I still blame the system, the culture and the parents. The kids are a product of their upbringing.

    That student has some serious problems, I really feel sorry for that teacher trying to just do her work. Mobiles should be left at the entrance of the classroom. For the safety of the teachers they shouldn't have to be the only adult in the classroom.

    I think there is a lesson to be learned in this, namely that humans are fell beasts with corrupted hearts and they should not be trusted lightly or taken for granted. Being old, an authority figure, a woman, a child, or being right won't save you, you have to keep your head on a swivel and watch out for scum like this.

    Compounding reasons for police to have absolute power when called into a situation and command respect.

    Have seen a meme over on adbook that showed a novel idea. The teacher had set up this board at the front of the class with pouches or pockets attached that corresponded with the seating arrangement. In order to be considered as present your cell phone must be in the pouch that corresponded with your assigned seat.

    In my view thats not unreasonable and is very creative.

    Sounds real good, until you are on the wrong end of absolute power and an acquiescent society doesn't give a hoot.

    I think this may be the root cause of why incidents like this are on the rise.
    More and more people at a younger age just don't give a shit about their actions.

    That literally doesn't make any sense. Those who advocate for due process because they have been abused by absolute power are the reason young punks push down teachers?

    Sounds like a smart solution, when I went to school no one had any cellphones, this is kind of a new problem that requires new thinking like you described.

    Yes.
    That makes about as much sense as it would if I said that people who acquiesce to authority are the reason the Nazi's killed millions of Jews.

    What about the issue I see in a lot of these African American videos where they sucker punch people, beat up old ladies, etc and people just film, watch , and 99% of the time dance around and yell worldstar....There are a lot of self absorbed punks out there or maybe they are just cowards...Seems like they enjoy it to me though.

    The Knockout Game is a sweet game. Random people going to and fro work... getting drilled in the face and being filmed while getting drilled in the face.

    I see shit like that and 12teen or 20... I want to beat the piss out of the punks participating. Absolutely freaking ridiculous.

    Who shoves an old woman to the ground? What values have been instilled in you where you think its alright to shove a 66 year old woman to the ground while in a school no less?

    I think it is very easy to make it about race when really it is about class. I live in Ireland, there aren't many black people. But you see the same shit except it is white on white. There is the same class divide with the people on the bottom lacking that sense of right and wrong.
  • animals and savages.

    love how these two words are thrown around this forum so flippantly.

    these are the same words used to describe peaceful muslims and innocent palestinian children.

    seems like these are the new way to describe someone as less than yourself.

    carry on.

    I wasn't necessarily making this about race. White, black, or purple kids that engage in such disgusting activities are brutal.

    Speaking of 'flippant' (talking down to people expressing outrage for some pretty horrendous behaviours).

    Those terms were actually used in this thread to describe kids with some excessively cruel behavioural traits. I suppose you would prefer more gentle terms? Can you offer a few to enlighten the cavemen?

    None, none at all. There are too many fathers that aren't around to whoop some ass, and too many mothers that don't take up the mantle.

    i wasn't talking down to anybody. just making an observation.

    and to answer your question, no.

    i suggest we find a thesaurus.

    Come on, man.

    The tone of your post contradicts what you say here.

    I agree that in some threads, those terms are not fairly applied. By all means, address them in those contexts. In this particular thread... the terms are far from being misplaced. At least from my perspective.

    I looked that kid that tried that on me straight in the eye and saw desperation, self loathing and total anger. Fucked up history, culture, parenting and system= fucked up kids.
