Im moving out there next month and this caught my eye today.
AWFUL!!
Sad to say BS like this goes on everywhere...Im living in NJ now and you hear about stuff like this everywhere.

Quick blurb below and link to video after!

BELLEVILLE, IL (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - To call it a brutal beating is an understatement. A 17-year-old Belleville West High School student is attacked on his school bus twice in a matter of minutes – and it is all on tape. The Belleville superintendent saw it and immediately took everyone involved out of school. He says the district will not tolerate this kind of violent, despicable behavior, two students beating another, while most of a school bus just laughs and points.

Very unfortunate news....I used to go to Belleville quite often because my grandfather lived there and my dad grew up there. It has been getting rather rough in parts of that city, but on the whole it is not a bad town. It feels like ever since they built the mall in Fairview Heights, the entire Belleville area has gone downhill.

Few quick questions:
1. What did the bus driver do during this time?
2. If the driver did nothing, why not - was he/she not aware of this occurring?
3. What happened on this bus during previous rides? Is there past or similar history there?

Curious - is this the same school system: Belleville West High School - Belleville, IL and Belleville Township High School District 201 ?

Very sad to see such occurring.

For Pete's sake, why the hell didn't anyone help him out? What is the matter with people? God, this nation is turning into a collection of complacent, indifferent, lazy, self-absorbed tubby drones. I hope the lowlife POS that sucker punched that poor kid - and all of the associated chicken-s**t punks - get kicked out of school, juvy, forced to watch the Rams or some type of appropriate punishment.

In my day, if that kid tried that cheap shot crap, he'd be pinned on the floor of the bus with a motorcycle chain around his throat, begging for forgiveness.

The cheering is what made me the most upset! They should make all those kids watch the video individually...no big bad group behind them...watch then if they cheer and laugh. Hopefully they would hang their heads in shame if indeed they actually know right from wrong.

That's a great idea, but unfortunately half of these kids won't care because they are likely on one or more types of behavior meds. The liberals are creating a generation of pilled-up drones.

If this was white-on-black violence, you can bet it would be all network news all night, all week long. There would be moaning and gnashing of teeth.

As it is, the so-called "news" has never properly reported the utterly horrific Louisville, KY rape/torture/mutilation/double murder of a young white couple by four blacks.

I hope Big Media enjoy it when it happens to their families, or themselves personally.

News is news, but it isn't any more.

Yeah ok it's the liberals fault. Why do some people feel the need to politicize every (non political) event to fit their agenda? It is a long stretch at best and utterly stupid at worst. You should be embarassed
