Critics blast Jackson, Sharpton over silence on Florida school bus beating

OK, racial issue is not involved. Why didn't the school officials call the police to arrest the dealer? Who are the school officials who let him go?

why are you asking me? do I look like an investigating police officer?

She is the principal of that school. No wonder why she didn't call the police.

Yes, he thinks you are investigator.

Just tell him - "I found this situation is racial issue" so it will satisfy the answer that he demand. :lol:
 
Of ALL guys being sized up and beaten senseless, why did they choose to report on these individuals? Looks more like retaliation than racism.

Hate? That's a pretty strong word. There are lots of political personalities that I strongly disagree with, and some I have no respect for, but I would never say that I hate them.

If you disagree with him for political reasons that shouldn't involve your emotions.

It's a race issue. For example, one black boy told on them and one white boy told on them, who do you think those dealers want to beat up?

Is that what happened? I didn't hear that there was another boy who turned in the drug dealers.
 
I haven't seen any evidence that points to racism in the attack. If during the investigation something does come up to show racism, then that should be addressed. In the meantime, it seems that the three thugs were appropriately charged, and expelled from school.

My beef is with the school administration for not taking action before the beating happened. Those three thugs should have never been allowed on the bus with the victim. The principal should have taken immediate action with the police when the boy first reported them.

That's right. It's illegal to sell drugs anywhere including schools. IMO, the principal didn't believe the white boy's side of the story so she let the dealer go instead of calling police on him. Now look what happened. She will be fired because she failed to do her job.

Especially schools, and the areas around them. Selling drugs in a school zone usually carries a heavier penalty.

Did the principal say that she didn't believe him? Did the school board say she will be fired?

But I'd bet my pay check if the victim was black and the attackers were white, this would be on the cover of Time Magazine and we'd be hearing from Jackson and Sharpton every chance they could get in. I don't think it's easy to dismiss this as not being a race issue given how the media is dismissing this story, or certainly not covering it with the vengence they do where the victim, perceived or real, is black.

Hate is hate.

There are plenty of legislators I find to be extremist on the left but I don't hate them. What benefit is there in hating them?
