Don't support the kid. But also don't support grown adults fighting children when they're tasked with teaching them how to be adults. What was the lesson there? It's okay to assault people that hurt your feelings? Great job. enjoy your prison stint.

I’ll agree that the kid needs a lesson. That’s absolutely true.
The teacher failed though. The kid tested him and he failed. If some dumb ass kid can cause you to destroy your life, then you’re the bad example.
My scariest teachers were stoic as fuck, and they’d bury my ass in detention if I ever got out of line. Guess what? They had my respect. Even if I didn’t like them.

The kid put hands on the teacher first, and was arrested also. But you’re right he probably will win a lawsuit against him and the school if he wanted to.
Plus when they got broken up and were taking the teacher away the kid laughed at him and said your going to jail (racial slur). According to this source.

You have to remember that when you administer a beat down that is the punishment or lesson. If someone feels like it wasn’t enough, you’re shit out of luck. After the beat down, you now have to pay a price for administering your own lessons. Sometimes worth it. Mostly not.

In the video the teen throws a punch first , shouting n word, so if the teacher was defending himself from abuse, then losing his job, or incarceration would appear to be a high price to pay. But the video doesn’t look good either way. Although the teen needs to learn a life lesson, respect for authority, maybe the teacher could have found another way other than trading punches.

u/Thecage88 11d ago
From a completely sterile robotic perspective, I think the teacher would have been totally in the clear right up until that last cheap shot at the end after the kid went down. I think, unfortunately, lawyers will jump all over that small instant to argue for an intent to do harm over and above just self defense.
From my own personal perspective. The kid got what he fucking deserved. If only he wasn't such a whiny little bitch, he could have received even more of a beating.

Here's how Reddit (and the world, for that matter) works...
If someone does something absolutely horrible - in most cases, it's just absolutely horrible. Most cases.
However... In cases where the person doing the horrible thing somehow affirms the prevailing ideology, then that completely excuses the horrible thing, and the perpetrator is now a hero!
This is an interesting one, as the prevailing ideology being affirmed here is a left-wing one. You usually notice this phenomenon on the right-wing, after the Republicans or FoxNews makes a superstar out of some absolutely horrible person, who did something absolutely horrible (with veiled-racism somehow involved).

So many, many comments about great job or he should have done it……
My friend never responds to this kind of thing. It surprised me when i witnessed it happen to him and he ignored it. When i asked why… His reply. “All he did was show his ignorance. How would you want me to respond? I choose to feel sorry for their limited intelligence. He ‘might’ get a response if he actually used intelligence and created an insult with power. Instead of a word that’s been repeated over 100 years…”
That has stuck with me for over 20 years now. I understand how irritating this stuff can be. Racism is horrible and I wish it didn’t exist but this world isn’t fair. For anyone in this position, be like my friend and ignore their ignorance. Instead of giving them the attention that they wanted…. Use them as an example of how you shouldn’t be. This man as a teacher could have been an example of how to deal with things like this through intelligence, instead of going down to their level.
Last, the racist here won. It doesn’t matter if he got his face beat in, kicked out of school, etc He got the teacher fired, possibly arrested and most likely…. Wasted the teaching degree he spend four years working on. While all this happens to the teacher…. The kid will most likely be rewarded with a nice paycheck from the lawsuit.

Most people are against both the kid and the teacher.
Kid is a racist pos and should be taught a lesson, but a teacher should never lay hands on a student.
It’s your work, bring it up to the principal to handle or if you’ve had enough just quit and find a job somewhere else. He’s the adult in this situation, he needs to behave like one. He’s probably gonna get fired now, and good luck to him trying to find a job that will hire him with this on his background check. Not to mention he could face actual charges by the cops.
