High School Thug Bullies Classmate for ‘Talking White,’ Teacher Does Nothing As Thug Gets Pummeled [Video]

Bullying, at any age, is horrific in and of itself. However, when the bullying is initiated simply because someone does something in a manner that the bully does not agree with, and for no other reason, and the bully refuses to back down and leave things as they are, the bully becomes a much bigger threat.

This was the case in a high school where a bully, described as a “thug,” would not back down and followed a student back and forth between two classrooms while students looked onward, refusing to step in and help the bullied boy out. The cause of the bullying incident? It all started because the thug believed the other boy “talks too white”

During the interaction, at least one student recorded the incident, seemingly not wanting it to be known that the camera was pointed at the two boys. He tried to keep the camera behind the bullies back and out of his eyesight. The bullied boy paces back and forth within the video, not wanting to fight, but ready in case a brawl does break out. The bully, on the other hand, seems ready to fight and follows him closely between a regular classroom and the adjoining wood shop.

The video was shared on Media Take Out and received multiple comments, many of which were inappropriate at best. However, nearly all agreed that the bully was in the wrong for instigating an argument that should never have taken place to begin with.

At one point, the bullied boy simply had enough and initiated a fight with the thug, knocking him to the ground on the sawdust-covered floor and pummeling him in the face repeatedly. The shop teacher is standing next to the boys and simply taps the boy on the back to get him to stop. The video was also posted on LiveLeak, showing the same camera angle as the boys moved to another portion of the shop where a structure was being built. The fight continues and the thug once again gets pummeled as a wall of the structure gets knocked over.

During the incident, the teacher rarely interacts with the boys to stop the bullying from escalating into a full-blown fight. Once the fight broke out, he did nothing to stop it or call for help. Sadly, he seemed more afraid of the boys than the other students in the class.

Bullying is a serious issue and should be reported to an authority figure immediately.

How do you feel about the video? Was the bullied kid in the right for pummeling the thug, or should he have just walked away?
