School Bus Assault

... and the obvious ramifications of a nonviolent response.

I'll forego a trek into the idiotic arguement that people of color cannot commit racially motivated acts. Anyone making such a statement is clearly an imbecile. I refuse to acknowledge the viewpoint that one race is above another for WHATEVER purpose.

From the available video it is quite obvious that the victim failed to take any type of reactive action. Forget fighting back, he didn't even move. Instead he sat there and absorbed blows to the face and head REPEATEDLY. One cannot seriously suggest that "he was in shock" in defense of this young mans inability to defend himself.

The inaction goes well beyond "being in shock". It goes to the heart of a significant issue within this society and perhaps the species. The gap between those who willingly use violence and those who do not. The criminal element... and YES... I WILL refer to the feckless, pathetic individuals who assailed this unfortunate dupe as CRIMINALS. I anticipate that these young men will likely be gracing our judicial system with their prescence very soon.

So... why did this young man refuse to fight back. Was he physically able? Was he phsychologically cpable? Does there exist some elemental psychiatric issue that we are not aware of? There's no mention of any physical disability, nor does the man appear to be disabled. So we will assume that he is of average health and fitness.

The question now becomes: was he CAPABLE? No. He was not. It has nothing to do with his physical abilities. The core issue appears to be that of self esteem. No self-respecting individual would allow themselves to be pummeled in this way. They would react. This poor lad does not even display the most base and primitive instincts of fight or flight. He does neither. He sets in his seat and takes first verbal (apparently) then physical assault without responding at all.

This display alone can be factored as part of the reason he was victimized to begin with. Predators KNOW which individuals are easy prey and which they would be bettter off letting alone. In many if not most situations, an individual who displays confidence will not be at the mercy of this type of vermin.

If you pay attention to the news, you'll see that those who have been victims of these types of assaults: thse occurring in public places and on public transportation, most often occcur against those who are obviously attempting to go unseen. I'm not referring to someone who attempts to be non-confrontational. No sane person wishes to engage in violence. I'm speaking of those who attempt to blend in and in many cases will actually try to appear as small, insignificant and unthreatening as possible. "Maybe if I act like discarded garbage they'll leave e alone." This type of behavior doesn't work in the animal kingdom... and that is what we are talking about here. ANIMALS! In fact, I would classify anyone who attacks another human being with no justifiable proviocation as LOWER THAN AN ANIMAL and totally undeserving of the mercy that we show such creatures. Look at the statistics of homeless people who get assaulted by this type of punk. THE ODDS ARE STACKED AGAINST YOU IF YOU THINK YOU CAN TIP-TOE AWAY FROM A VIOLENT ATTACK! You're more likely than ever to be assaulted.

Trying to "shrink yourself down" or thinking that if you ignore someone who is openly threatening you (to the approving shouts of their freinds) is not going to go away when you cower. That's precisely what they're waiting for. That shows them that you are not going to offer any resistance. This is precisely what they want... NO RESISTANCE!

What this young man should have done... was either move... standing if necessary... or respond in an attack. This incident would have been reported much differently had he launched his own attack and jammed his digits into the eye socket of that regressed jagoff! Then while his atttacker is busy dealing with his now non-fuctioning eye, rupture his testicals. The added benefit here is that this cretin would no longer retain any ability to reproduce. Society gets a bonus!

The odds are good that when the first assailant goes down, his freinds start doing the math. If their "homey" is laying on the floor of the bus, bleeding out of an eye socket orone of his ears they're not going to be too likely to step forward and violunteer to take similar punishment.

What is this infatuation with victimhood? How is it that we've reached a point where we appluad the individual who willingly facilitates their own battering? I would like to met this boys parents. I don't need to imagine what the reponse from the school district will be. There will be the obligatory suspension of the attackers. Little else will happen. I doubt if this boys parents will even attempt to sue in civil court... though the evidence is incredibly damning... and college educations aren't cheap.

I think that they SHOULD SUE! Short of a public caning, I can think of few if any satisfactory punishments for these degenerates. Their time away from school will be nothing more than a short vacation for them. I'd like to meet their parents as well. Supposedly the provocation was his shoving another students bookbag onto the floor. Yes... I can easily see that as justification for a physical assault in reprisal. He "disrespected" the other student. Well, if you're the kind of mindless troll who intentionally places your belongings on the seat to prevent someone else from being able to use it, then in my opinion, you do not deserve any respect. You're nothing more than a walking problem.

Later testimony from witnesses identified the victim as having been singled out before. Apparently he had been attacked before and hadn't fought back then either. This is the kind of kid who brings a gub to school and startas shooting random people. Better for all if he is educated in the finer elements of self-defense. Perhaps then he can manage to develop some self worth and cease being a target for every crap bag who happens across him at school. He could probably use some strength training as well.

If this individual thinks that by not defending himself he is somehow avoiding more serious injury, he is plainly delusional. Under the circumstances, being assaulted, putting up no resistance whatsoever and ending up on the floor of the vehicle to absorb even more blows... he's lucky that he wasn't crippled or killed by these dirt bags. If this had been not the amateurish school boys assault but an atttack by practiced street thugs he probably would be dead.

Get it into your heads RIGHT NOW!... that non-reaction is NOT the reaction with which you should be responding to such behavior. On the contrary... GO ABSOLUTELY BERZERKERS!!! if you are EVER unfortunate enough to be attacked. Don't concern yourself with "looking good". Concern yourself with getting in your licks... and by that I mean every single, dirty, underhanded strike that you can land. Drive them home. Put THAT scum bag on the floor of the bus... then kick his skull in. Don't "poke" at the eyes... tear them out of his head! Don't "box" the ears.. Blow out his eardrum! Tear that sucker right off of his head.
