No charges for teen who filmed bus beating

I have gotten to know the young man that was beaten, and he has a bright future ahead of him. There is alot the public does not know about this kid. This is not the first time he has bullied, so before you judge get all the facts on the things that he has done to others.

I especially love how that video had like 20 views, and then his daddy called the media and it skyrocketed! So if you think about it, having the news publicize the humiliating video of his own son for all of Virginia to see is at the fault of Lee Wilson.

My question is where is the Parent Teachers Association/Organization. Are they not elected to handle events of this nature or are they there to ensure the teachers have a monthly luncheon? It is time for this organization to begin performing their duties and be a voice to protect the students. It is also time for the citizens to stand up to the school administration and let them know they are elected officials and will be removed if they are not capable to teaching and protecting our children.

don't you know that by not charging that boy then it will increase this happening. Kids nowadays beat other kids and film it and put it on you tube for kicks...There has to be consequences or it will happen so much more. Show them that it is not right to this because that's the only way to make it stop. Don't encourage more! We need to get a handle on these kinds of things or else we all lose. Come on stand up to the plate and do something about it before it's way too late and a kid gets killed even.

The punk who videoed and then posted this "PLANNED" attack on a much smaller and out numbered adversary should be carried out in the street with cameras rolling, by however many people want to watch, as his own parents tear his back side off and hand it to him. The victim should then be allowed to get in a good swift kick or two of his own.

As for the assailant? He needs to be expelled from school, for the year! With no alternative learning possible. Let him get his court punishment out of the way, if there is any! He would then have to start school over next year at whatever grade level he has just started for the probable 3rd time. Big moron and bully! My child would have my blessing to run up on the heads of whoever made a wise crack or played in/about the whole situation.

Let me video the prosecutor getting his feelings hurt by a bad judge-ment call, then post it on line. I'm sure he would want to file charges.

Bullying has drastic long term impact on the victim. These bullies need to have thier names published , prosecuted for battery and be subjects of law suits. then maybe the idea of bullying someone because they are smaller or of just the posseser of a non confrontational and kind spirit will be given a second thought by these instigaters. do exactly to these bullies what they did to thier victims, hit them where it will hurt the most and leave a scar.

Where's the 'honorable' AL Sharpton with this obvious hate crime? Oh that's right.

Were this my son I would enroll him in a martial arts class to get his confidence back. Also I would make sure he had a pocket full of super sharp #2 pencils and always kept one in his hand with his thumb on the eraser. If anyone assaults you son jab them as hard as you can with the pencil. Let us, your parents, worry about the legal problems from your actions. But above all else son protect yourself.

Now go have a great day!

I love how the parents of this kid and or his lawyers are using the media to hype up the situation. The kid barely has black eye, you know that thing that happens when a baseball hits you in the eye. I'm confident the school has plenty of experience in dealing with these types of situations. Let the school do their job, don't bring every problem in your life to the presses, and more importantly, move on with your lives. Oh, I forgot that this is America, land of the sue everything that moves...

I would think the person "harmed" by the posting of the video would be the twit that did the beating. Now the whole world knows the caliber of person he is. He deserves every bit of it.

If I felt my kid needed a cell phone for us to be able to communicate, it would be a basic cell phone. No picture taking, no filming, no texting, no games, no anything but the capability to make and receive calls.

Not everything we find reprehensible needs to be part of the criminal justice system. Part of the problem with this country right now is there are too many things that are against the low. We all pay, in increased fines, in increased costs of incarcerating those arrested, in the need for additional police.

One example that quickly comes to mind is the windshield wiper/lights law in Virginia. Granted that it is good practice and commonsensical to drive with lights on when the windshield wipers are on (mine do that automatically), do we really need to pay cops to look for that, judges to hear the case?

In the case at hand, there are a million and one reasons for not getting involved, and very few of them are or should be criminal.
