Is it definite that the perps were black? I had not read that any where. This young man appeared to be such a sweet kid. My heart goes out to his family. I can not imagine the pain they are suffering. The family will be in my prayers. God forgive me for wishing his wrath on the perps and their families.

You won´t hear it. It isn´t in the script. An interview of the perp´s dad gave it away.

Isn´t "diversity" a wonderful thing?

Any child who kills another child should get the death penalty. This is the only way to provide justice to the victim´s family and send a loud and clear message to the other little bastards!

Its amazing. On Philadelphia news, they are saying it was a school yard fight.. BULL,
the DA and the school should have charged these punks with assault after the first punch.
They broke this kids nose at lunch time, the parents were not called until 3 p.m. and the punks only got a two day suspension. Unbelieveable. Now their political correctness has bitten them.

A two-day suspension? That´s unfair. It was probably the white kid´s fault.

My son was bullied by a Hispanic kid at his California school. For some reason, "zero tolerance" didn´t seem to apply. It wasn´t until I threatened to show up at the district office with my lawyer did the (also Hispanic) Vice Principal take disciplinary action. She "talked" to him about it, (when school policy was supposedly immediate suspension). So, I pulled out the lawyer card again, threatened to sue her and the district, and the kid was finally suspended. All I wanted them to do was follow their own rules, which you can bet they would have done if the roles had been reversed and my son had been bullying a hispanic kid.

The schools say that they have a policy for bullies, yet they do nothing when a parent complains that their child is being bullied.
My son was bullied by a big black kid on the bus. The bus driver wouldn´t do anything, the school wouldn´t do anything. The school all of sudden told us that we lived too close to the school and that our son would have to either walk or be driven to school. Yet the big black bully lived closer to school. There reasoning for why the big black bully could use the bus was because he would have to cross the street to walk to school.
The real reason that the big black bully could ride the bus was because he was black. Oh, yea, I forget the big black bully broke the leg of another boy when he pushed off him off the bus. The big black bully didn´t get into trouble for this either.

I grew up pretty close to here. It is a changed neighborhood.

football player Ray Rice of the Baltimore Ravens said he had reached out to the boy´s family. He vowed to fight against bullying.

Ok, this guy can make a huge difference then.

This is horrible! It all comes down to values and morals. We know who had them in this instance. I consider this young man to be a martyr - period!

My condolences and prayers for his family and friends - what will this teach those children, not the perps, who should be in jail.

Dittos on suing the school district. It would also get their attention if large numbers of parents pulled their kids out in protest & put them in private schools or homeschool co-ops. Funding is based on enrollment numbers - they may not take action because a white kid dies, but you can bet they will do what they can to keep the $ coming.

#11: In another article, Ray Rice was quoted as saying "we have to get to the root causes."

And so we learn that irony-deficiency won´t keep a player out of the NFL.

Prediction: one day, this will lead to someone "disappearing" and taking the role of vigilante. Perhaps it has happened already? See Tom Clancy´s "Without Remorse." The background of "John Clarke" is in that vein.

One could well argue the justification of taking such a path.

From the comments I guess it would have been better if the perps where white. I thought our opposition to hate crimes was we didn´t care what the motivation of the person was. I hope the animal that did this is old enough for the death penalty.

Somehow I knew it wasn´t a couple of norweigians beating up on this poor young man. Thanks for confirming my suspicions

What was the perp´s name, Travon or something?

Teachers and aides are famous for sitting around chit-chatting during recess duty instead of watching the kids. There is no excuse for this to have happened. I can remember having had to pull teeth to get a kid in trouble for throwing a rock at my child´s face. The kid finally got "lunch detention" for a couple of days.

When you have idiots in charge, things go downhill from there. The kids are at fault as well, but bullying is easy to see and easy to prevent.

This is heartbreaking. Yet, if a kindergarten student makes a gun shape out of Legos, he´s out of there. The poor family can only turn to a lawyer for any kind of justice.

My son was beaten up in second grade by three kids on the schoolyard. Twenty years later, two are dead and the third is in jail.... bullying is a harbinger of the future.

Totally preventable, if school officials cared more about kids than political correctness. I knew a high school boy who was sucker punched by a member of a minority. There were witnesses that the victim, who had a broken jaw and later developed MS, had both hands full of food items from the snack bar when he was punched under the bleachers at a football game. Both the victim and the perp were suspended for "fighting."

Once again nothing is being done to the bullys....were this more Treyvon...we would be inundated..but because it is the more common violence, 10 times more common of blacks on a white...nothing is done, including naming the race of those two bullys.....more Affirmative Action in the law for Eric Holder´s "my people"...


Like it or not, putting people in charge of justice with a chip on their shoulder has proven disastrous .....add a press as willing accomplices, and people are divided as never before...showing a 12 year old Treyvon when he was a gang tattooed, facial tattoos, gold fendered teeth, criminal record, suspended for burglary tools and a bag of stolen jewelry, a 200 pound thug...I have yet to see a picture of the realTreyvon at the age of his death on Fox or elsewhere ...While Holder said we´re cowards afraid to have that race discssion he is wrong...The black race is unacceptably violent toward earth other and all other races...and that is the discussion that needs to be had..but fat chance when Thugs are running the country...

If you read about what is happening in South Africa, it appears we are headed in the same direction.We are committing suicide.

#15 suggests "From the comments I guess it would have been better if the perps where white."

With respect, I don´t see that in the posts. Not at all.

But I do see posters willing to stand up to PC myth-pushers and fact-deniers. Who quite properly note the ingredients that help produce horrible and unnecessary things like this story: the war against personal accountability; pretending blame lies with "root causes" [ignoring that somehow many endured the same conditions yet remained civilized]; welcoming in a perverse way [not just being resigned to] the vast character-destruction of dependency; crime; drugs; and so many more things that are destructive and yet were embraced by a fair chunk of a specific population cohort. Crime, drugs, dependency, family disintegration, and more cannot be noted without seeing how many blacks are involved. YMMV.

People, do not send your kids to schools with many savages.
