Teenage little sh*ts

[oneofsix]

Friend of mine is a teacher and he's had cases of kids deliberately winding people up like this sometimes worse (himself included) in order to get a reaction, knowing that they have 'rights' and the drama is worth it even if they do get decked.

Fucker probably knew what he was doing, should have smashed the board around his head.

Then why do the teachers spend so much effort in teaching these little shits their "rights" instead of telling them that if they be smart arses then and adult within reach has the right to clip their ears.

If teachers clipped kids around the ear they would get fired. If you suggest they threaten and don't follow up with the threat then that's just stupid.

I see one typo in my reply, a d that should have been a y, but can't see where I suggested where it be the teachers that gave them the clip, although I bet many a teacher wishes they still had the option of the strap.

Action = reaction.

At least one of the boys (video boy) got physical with the guard. Perhaps if the other boy in blue made a move too, then the guard may have felt threatened, in which case he had to make a show of intimidation to put the boys off any more ideas of further and escalating physical action. Well, it worked... The boys were cowed and you can see/hear how different they were after the guard destroyed the board.

He didn't assault any of the boys, even though at least one tried to make a move for his board and thus touched the guard. Video boy was unapologetic and illogical ("If my house door was open, sure, I'd let you walk in..." and then "If I walked into your house and took your property, how'd you feel?").

I feel bad for the guard because either way, he'd have been in trouble. Break the board, obviously people are going to think he's violent and out of control. Eject the boys and their parents may complain, or else the boys will just come back. Fail to eject the boys or stop them coming back, he'd be accused of failing in his duties.

What's the worst for the boys? They get scared, learn that they should be respectful of property and people and man up? Psychological trauma? Emotional trauma? If that's what they'll claim, then they'd be laughed at for being a bunch of pussies. Will this incident affect their academic record? Nah...

But the guard? He'll probably get a reprimand or even lose his job. This guard does something what at least half of us here would do, and he'll get into trouble? Paul Henry says/does worse and all he gets is a better paying job in Oz... Where's the justice in that?

And for all of you adults or young adults out there defending the boys, just remember that you'd more likely be in the guard's position than the boys', and more so as each year passes. So before you say let boys be boys, think what young people will be like when you're older and you're not seen as one of them. Do you want boys who'll help you out when you dropped your oxygen mask, or boys who'll laugh and heckle you and you can't even reach them with your walking cane...
