Excerpt: A student on a
Belleville West High School bus was beaten for his choice of seat,
not because he was white, according to a witness and
police.
"The incident appears now to be more about a couple
of bullies on a bus dictating where people sit," said Belleville
Police Capt. Don Sax, who originally said Monday's attack may have
been racially motivated.
D'Vante Lott, 16, said he was on the
bus and witnessed the attack by the two black students.
The
victim walked onto the bus, looking for an open seat, but students
kept turning him down, as D'Vante said happened often with this
student.
DJMS - Commentary: If that innocent child was mine, I would sue that
bad kid's parents, the school and the bus driver. And then, I would
have that bad kid tried as an adult and have his rear in prison for
the next 30 years! Sorry, but this angers me! THIS is why parents
need to THINK, really THINK about pulling their innocent children
out of public schools! Monsters like that bad kid, do NOT belong
with other people! And I don't care if it was racially motivated or
not! But, I have to ask what Rosa
Parks would
say! |
