7 teens charged with beating classmates unconscious

[release]MIAMI (AP) — Seven central Florida teenagers were arrested after authorities said they punched and kicked a 13-year-old until she was unconscious while on a school bus.
The victim told authorities that Friday was her first time riding the bus and no one would let her sit down. About 75 children were riding the bus bound for a middle school in Ocala, a rural city north of Orlando. The victim said someone threw a shoe at her and she threw one back, according to an arrest report.
One girl allegedly asked students if they wanted to hit the victim, then instructed the teens to form a circle and began hitting and kicking the victim. Several witnesses said they saw the girl fall to the floor and "appear to have a seizure and pass out," according to the arrest report.
The victim, who is not being identified, was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with a concussion, severe bruising on her head and muscle spasms.
Seven teens, ranging in age from 12 to 15, were charged with battery and disorderly conduct. The Associated Press is not identifying the suspects because they are minors.
The school's bus driver said he saw the fight and pulled the bus over to intervene. The fighting ceased, so he continued driving, but he told authorities the fight broke out again and he couldn't control it so he drove to a nearby school and called officials.
Authorities interviewed all the students on the bus. Ten students said they saw the seven "commit battery upon the victim as a group," according to the report.
One suspect admitted kicking the victim, but said it was an accident. A few claimed they hit her and several others denied it.
Deputy Shannon Wiles wrote in the report that one 14-year-old girl climbed over several seats filled with students to get to the victim and "advised she punched the defendant repeatedly in the head, approximately 10-15 times because the victim called her a name."
School officials said it's unlikely the defendants will be allowed on campus until their cases are resolved.
The Ocala Star-Banner ([url]http://lb.vg/0iLGQ[/url] ), which first reported the fight, said school discipline rules call for the students to be expelled or reassigned to another school, according to Marion County Public Schools spokesman Kevin Christian.[/release]

What in the almighty fuck.
this kind of shit sucks. also, for all of you guys in that thread about a guy stabbing a bully, this is the kind of shit that would have happened. Bullying goes too far these days.
Charge them with attempted murder because this could have ended terribly and because they did it for no reason.
This was terrible, but to be expected like iFail said. It said it was her first time riding a bus, so what in the fuck caused that to happen ? These kids need to be beat the fuck out of with baseball bats until there left bleeding in a pool of blood. You have to be the biggest asshat in the world to do that to another person.

Well rage made me think of that, but seriously where the hell has parenting gone to these days. I mean jesus fuck, you see that "No one let her sit down on the bus." in a 50's-set movie.
And some people think that if she had retaliated and killed one of them that it would be her fault? Ha. Some people make me sick.
[QUOTE=The golden;34105639]Not allowed on campus until cases resolved?
They should be permanently expelled immediately and banned from joining any other learning institutions.[/QUOTE]
As in, not allowed on campus until they decide to permanently expel them, for which they'll invite them back to tell them
ITT: nerds that were bullied in high school making the reasonable and ethically sound judgement that beating the shit out a thirteen-year-old-girl is an asshole thing to do. Something about nerds having all sorts of nebulously-defined psychological hang-ups or something.

I don't get this part. It's like, uh, yeah?
Is it just me or is the next generation getting worse and worse
Retarded fucking children, is this what it takes for their parents to actually do some parenting?
Why would you do this?
-10000 faith in humanity.
Partly misleading title, as it was only one girl rather than "classmate(s)"
Still terrible though. Very interested in what drove the kids to do this.

"this new person is alone and weak! Let's take advantage of them as a large group so we can feel better about ourselves! Yeah!"

Holy shit, that's a lot.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;34105242]What in the almighty fuck.[/QUOTE]
I seconds this.
This is fucking insane that anyone could even [I]think[/I] of beating a 13 year old girl unconscious is completely fine to do.
when i came into this thread i was thinking "all of them?"
Dude fuck the busdriver what a fucking bitch.
Something tells me the black-box on that bus will put them all to sweet justice.

So you're saying that beating the shit out of a person is not an asshole thing to do?
:downs:

He's joking.
Love it when they clean the dirt in the class.
I think eye for an eye should be illegal in the eyes of the law, but man. I would not complain if those fucking kids' heads were beat in.
I mean, I don't really understand how anybody could feel otherwise. I feel like Facepunch looks up whatever falls under the name "liberal" and just follows it because "liberals are good."
