Maybe Someonenear is upset at the reference to the word "boy" because he is taking it as a negative reference towards African americans. Either way...he is an idiot!

I am suprised that everyone is on here talking about how kids are today and the attitudes of the adults are shocking! It takes leadership, you can't sit down to type hateful comments while wondering what is wrong with kids today everyone is contradicting themselves. I am sure I will get some bashing over my comment, but all I will say in advance is GOD BLESS YOU!! I am praying for both students one for structural healing and the other for internal healing. Kids do some really stupid things and the sad thing is that sometimes the root of the problem is found right there at home. Structure & guidance people. BTW... thanks for the update on the victim.
