What the F****** HELL has gotten into the minds of these kids where things like this are 'Ok, as long you apologize'? The hell? They should have made an example out of him, but lord knows it would have been seen as either Police Brutality or they would have tried the guy who shot the gun. Man what the- I can't even mmmmmmmmmm Damn I'm mad.
Its the schools, with new policies that say not to discipline black students as much as white ones they are being taught that just saying you are sorry will suffice.

I'm black, went to a majority white school, was never treated differently. What schools are these you're referring to?

It's always refreshing to hear that a victim was able to protect themselves, and at the same time give the attacker a taste of his own medicine. Anytime someone decides to commit a crime, they take a risk that their victim will strike back and either maim or cause their death. I have no sympathy for this kid or any other criminal who plays with fire and gets burnt.

I think these "games" are blown out of proportion. Just like "rainbow parties" that people talk about, but no one ever knows anyone that has attended one. There used to be a game involving a biscuit or cracker (that's all I'll say about that) -- and no one ever knew anyone that partook in such a thing.
I think these are isolated incidents being spun into some kind of fear-based propaganda. The MSM would have us think that these types of activities kids do is rampant. I'll ask some high school teachers I know if they've had to deal with this particular "pass out game".

Not fighting at all is much more efficient.
This is where parkour comes in. I can already visualize the massive eye-roll as you read this.
So you make your assassins creed get away when you see someone who MIGHT be a threat?
Depending on the context of the threat I suppose. Assassins creed lol, more like Mirror's edge.
That's besides the point. It's a backup if necessary, a skillset not used often if at all but timely if needed.

And time isn't wasted on these individuals. The same individuals complaining that they can't get a job. I wonder why???

You're funny.
Unless you are serious, as that would be rather tragic.
People can change, sometimes it takes a serious incident to force that change, sometimes not. He was a 17 year old child, for gods sake. Did you never make mistakes as a teenager? You must be one of only of a few worldwide if you didn't.
Sheesh..........
