I agree with you WhisperingWinds. Although I really don't want these two to hijack the thread with their barbaric and inaccurate assumptions.
Thats a great point, and I think they have scared off many who may be opposed to their view.
Thanks for interjecting your wisdom.. I know I have appreciated it so much..
Carry on, you're doing a great job explaining many things, and the arguments against you are just revealing how your sanity and position in this clearly wins !edit on 3-7-2012 by WhisperingWinds because: (no reason given)

From the video it looks like the man was going to escort the boy out.. when grabbed he probably mouthed off and the man did not begin to get violent with him until the boy swung is arm in an attempt to get loose. The mans job is the safety of other children so i really do not know what he was supposed to to do.
do his job or not. If he had not done his job and one kid like this one gets through and the result is some tragic event it would all be on him.
Children to today are mouthy little punks. They do not respect adults and it is very hard to deal with them.
Words lead to physical altercations and children are not taught to mind their tongue. I am pretty sure this boy was giving the usual mouthing off teens do which puts people on edge. Once grabbed to be escorted out his attempt to break loose pretty much caused the man to put force on him.
The force was not very bad. Except many people have a very weak stomach. This does not mean i am some kind of brute but usually things look worse than they are. I had to watch the video twice to attempt to see why the outrage. it looked clear case of kid does not do as told, gives attitude, has to be removed, attempts to fight back and security follows procedure.
what really bothers me is that the same people whining about this man stopping this boy he saw as a problem are the same people who called for him to have that position as security in the first place. people wanted more security at schools and now that they have it they get upset when security is upheld.
We would not need security if parents would teach their children to respect adults and their peers but nope that is too hard we need to take the shortcut we will just smack on some security.

I am not exaggerating, I am being straightforward. It has been you people who have been twisting things as well as ignoring things.
That may be much more effective if you were to actually tell us what you viewed as you said you would last night after saying you wouldn't be back but the option to summarize it was given to you in a very polite, respectful way....which you have ignored and renigged on
....tends to greatly take away from your "argument"....

The man was doing his job with a threat to the safety of the school. Now the guilty party wants to cry foul.

I declined in a polite respectful way,and stated my reasons. I did not ignore it, or renig, just merely said later I changed my mind, because I knew it would be a fruitless effort. Its pretty clear what is in the video, and people see what they see, or choose to interpret it how they wish.
What another member said about not letting the thread get too biased in one view is what me change my mind about adding further comments.
How disappointing that you feel unless I do the "summation" you expect me of me, that I am not entitled to further opinion, or changing my mind on particpating in a fruitless effort, when its there in the video. How that greatly takes away from my argument is beyond me.
You're not my teacher, and I won't allow you to pressure me to do any of your "assignments". (especially when they won't change the views of who sees what they see) Your summation certainly didn't change mine.
Which is EXACTLY why the DEAN of SECURITY had to result to physical means to subdue the extremely violent thug shown in the video!
Although yours isn't violent, it is clear refusal to accept a very respectful and calm request.
Good job at proving my point!!!
.... you are now dismissed

You have lost all credibility by your own actions. You have proven the case against you and now you are lashing out. Very typical.
The thug in the video was treated as he should have been treated by the Dean of Security.

I wasnt stating it as though it was something that came off the top of my head. Where did you learn to read? See what I did there?
I was stating where I stood on the issue, personaly. Not that it was a novel idea... Grow a lil and take posts for what they're for, dont pull your own spin out of it for your own kicks, buddy boy.

you're making no sense. none what so ever.
Killing an unborn child ... let me do this sloooooowly.
You could potentually be killing a child that could have grown into a leader, or someone great.
Get that? No? Reread till you do.
Instead of killing a child because you feel the parent isnt worthy... and who are you to judge, I might ask, adoption is the best alternative. Simply put.
There was no other hidden secret meanings, no in between the lines... Just regular old "this is what I said and this is what I meant".
btw, i dont need to adopt. If I didnt have children, I would. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Personaly I see the biggest issue is with CHILDREN who have children. So, at 25 you think you have it figured out? Not even close. We learn till we die. I'm near my 50s and I still learn something new every day.
Now.. For a child to tell me how adoptions, abortions, whatever should be done... Sorry while I laugh till my side bursts and I bleed out all over in deathly humor.
Yes, experiance and age is still an important factor when making descisions.
(watch someone say something akin to ... but but but old people are dumb too...) once again... The basis for my posts... I dont speak secrets. I say what I say damn plainly.edit on 2-7-2012 by article because: (no reason given)

Nope, but discipline is the appropriate response to misbehavior when other methods don't work.
A good spanking isn't violence, it's discipline. It should be used much more often then it is.
It's the group of people who think that any form of discipline is equivalent to violence or abuse that are the problem. A spanking is not going to damage a child for life and will actually help them to learn that there are consequences for misbehavior.
Children don't understand abstract ideas, which you would be aware of if you have studied human growth and development. They don't have the cerebral ability to comprehend that. They see immediate responses to immediate actions. The responses need to be very literal and feasible for them to grasp the meaning.
A spanking shows them that something was wrong and there was a consequence for it. As they grow, they see that the action of being hurtful to others results in an action that is hurtful to them (not damaging, not scarring, it hurts when their butt is spanked, then they get over it).
It worked well for thousands and thousands of years, then someone came along and said "oh, not, that's abusive and violent, we can't do that", so now we have kids joining gangs at the age of 8, we have kids who kill people, we have kids that aren't able to function in society. That's the result of this insane concept and it will continue being the result.
Spank their backside, tell them why, move on. For those who want to appeal to Christianity.... spare the rod, spoil the child. Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
