Title: So much for adult Supervision
Post by: RoadKingLarry on June 25, 2018, 12:11:16 PM: So much for adult supervision at the local high school
That is a coach/science teacher on the left, he appears to be running the show in what looks like his office.

In my opinion it looks like the coach needs to be looking for a new job.

Summary if you can't see the video - Bunch of high school age kids in what looks like the coaches office. While it looks "voluntary" one kid is being held while another bigger kid kicks him square in the nuts. The Coach is seen just to the left watching and then doubled up laughing at the kid that just crumpled to the floor in pain.

Same here.

If what RKL posted is accurate and it's not some fake stuff being staged for the camera, it seems that the kicker needs to be arrested and charged with assault . . . as do the ones holding the kickee. And I would think there's a probable cause of action against the coach and the school.

If it gets any traction I'll let you know.

The game is afoot.

I'm not one for vengeance, but if it was real, the old biblical saying about an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a nut for a nut, came to mind.

Even if faked, some stern action from the local board of education seems in order.

I took it as a prophecy, just like '1984'.
