They're pursuing criminal charges against kids for a minor schoolyard fight with no real injuries, just because it "may have been racially motivated"? Are you kidding me? Suspend the kids for a few days, give them a couple weeks detention, a major assignment, maybe some work detail - but criminal charges and jail time? Are they nuts? That's how you take a normal kid, or maybe a kid a bit on the unregulated spectrum and that has difficulties and some negative tendencies, and turn them into a criminal set up for a life of crime and poverty and gang activity and issues with the system.
I don't think this was a minor schoolyard fight -
1) at least one kid was punched in the head, and the perpetrators may have been older.
2) This wasn't a fight - this was a group that targeted students of a particular ethnicity, forced them into submission, dragged them into an area where they could be isolated without protection or support or hope of being saved, and then terrorized them into mouthing what they wanted.
Again, flip it around - what if everything had been the opposite - white students doing all this to black students, and forcing them to say that "All lives matter." I don't think anyone would disagree that is horrifying?
