VIDEO -- The obligatory “teen cold-cocks bully who was beating up blind kid” post

From Hot Air:

Here’s your feelgood video of the day, assuming that it’s okay to feel good about a young teenager lying on the ground with blood running out of his head after he decided to throw a few roundhouses at a schoolmate with a visual disability.

After the bully was scraped off the pavement, the cops booked him on a charge of misdemeanor battery, a minor punishment compared to the fact that he’ll be known for the rest of his life as The Kid Who Got His Ass Kicked In That Video After Throwing Down With A Blind Kid. The hero, meanwhile, has now been suspended from school and kicked off the football team because violence is always wrong ‘n stuff.

‘I don’t care what the policy says. Its self defense via a bystander. To beat a blind kid and get to play the victim card. Cost another kid his education. That boy is a hero. Treat him like one.’

However, Huntington Beach High School district officials stuck by their move and said they could not accept violent behavior from any student.

This incident is another example that our public schools are run by the best and brightest, huh!

Question? Why wasn't the BULLY suspended?

What civilizational decline looks like:

(quoting from The Daily Mail UK (a BRITISH NEWSPAPER) has more more in-depth coverage than any local paper. (I am just not surprised by the horrible American media anymore.) Lots of stills from the video.

“The high school junior was hailed as a hero for intervening after he saw the ‘visually impaired’ student being repeatedly hit round the head during lunch break at Huntington Beach High School, California on Wednesday. Footage, filmed by a bystander, shows the teen knocking the bully to the ground with a single punch to stop the attack. . . .No arrest is expected for the intervening teen who has been praised by his peers and online for standing up for his classmate. But his school took a different approach and are believed to have kicked the have-a-go-hero off the football team after he breached their ‘zero-tolerance’ policy on violence.”
