On Wednesday at my son’s school part of the day was treated as a Field Day. Basically this means the students were all dumped into the track/sports/P.E. area of the school and left to their own devices. A group of 10-15……let’s say “Black”…..students got together and attacked four……let’s say “white”…..kids. This group targeted one kid, moved to the next one, moved to the next one, moved to the next one, and then were finally stopped by the teachers. My son was one of the targeted kids. He’s ok and only has a bruise or two. These were quick hit and run attacks. The school called to tell me what happened and I went to the school to learn more.
Now my son doesn’t feel safe going to school tomorrow or Friday and I don’t blame him. How in the hell can you have a gang of kids roving and attacking other students like that. Where in the hell were the damn teachers? Can you guess what the school plans call for on Thursday and Friday? Field days!
Sadly not all of the kids that were attacked were willing to talk to the school officials about the situation because they are worried about retaliation. Some of the little thugs were hauled off but some weren’t because of kids afraid to name names.
What I want to do is swing by Lowe’s and pick up some chain my kid can use as a “belt” on Thursday and Friday but the law doesn’t think that is the right idea. Something about intentions and weapons. Ah well.
