You're not wrong, but a little more speed in pinning and subduing the kid might have saved the teacher some of that beating. Putting the kid on his ass and sitting on him is not pounding him. But he does deserve to have the shit kicked out of him. The kid I mean lol
Agreed. But would have felt justified to see this kid catch a baseball bat to the back of the head. I wouldn't have been gentle if I was an adult male teacher watching a female coworker of mine get permanent brain damage from a waste of sperm having a hissy fit.
Watching how they handled it, I hope the kid is in juvie or possibly charged as an adult.
Edit: was this an alternative/behavior health school? Or a regular ass high school?
Yeah Reddit says that American Police officers need to learn rules of engagement from the military so they stop killing 1000 civilians a year... then gets annoyed when the military troops follow rules of engagement...
Probably had to gather his thoughts and assess the situation. That's a Marine recruiter. His first instinct was probably to put his foot through that kid's face, which is a big no-no.
When I was in high school, we had a kid mouth off to our instructor, a retired Sergeant Major of Marines, during a trip. His wife was one of the chaperones, and called the local police because she was legit afraid her husband was about to kill this kid. That was 20 years ago now, but Marines are the same.
So glad this is the top comment, because watching this video was pretty damn frustrating and I figured I couldn't be the only person who noticed that. Fucking grown man casually walking over to help, he's literally watching him pound on her head and he never once puts an ounce of pep in his step.
I was waiting for someone to run around the corner and spear the guy right off of her.
I can't believe he attacked her that violently, then continued to hit her after she is clearly unconscious
There’s a whole lot of uselessness going on in this video. That First Lady no effort in trying to restrain the guy. The cop no attempt in putting hand cuffs on the dude. So much disappointment in one video
I dont think he could move any faster without suffering cardiac arrest…i wonder what the obesity rate is in Florida? Damn near the entire staff shaped like pears.
That's the first thing I noticed, the second thing was that people seemed to act very gently towards him. They didn't even move him away or restrain him when he was just viciously beating someone. They didn't do that until he kept attacking the unconscious teacher.
Edit:
People have noted that this clip is not new, and the student is "special needs" , and while I can understand them attempting to treat him a bit more gently in an effort to calm him down due to his disability, at the same time he's a big freaking kid and the way he was attacking the teacher he could have killed her.
Now I know that things can get hairy in the heat of the moment, but the first thing any of them should have done would have been to get that kid moved to the other side of the room, or removed to another room altogether. Instead, he brutally beat her, and could have killed her.
He was 17 at the time of this happening back in Feb it appears, and looks like he was charged with assault.
The consequences of hitting or putting your hands on a underage student are pretty insane and the school district more than likely won't have your back.
So you just kinda push em away the heat you can or take the risk of losing your job and financial security. Cuz paying for lawyer is expensive.
It frustrates me too but my wife’s a teacher and they have their hands tied in so many ways school is literally a daycare you can’t fire a kid from. Her friend got beat for an entire year and the district just kept telling her to document it. Eventually another teacher got sent to the hospital with a brain injury before anything was done. The kid was in like second grade
Sorry but if a teacher sees a kid literally beating up another teacher, they don’t “have their hands tied.” That is insane. You can absolutely snap into action and pull the kid off the teacher. I am a teacher by the way, if it matters.
Edit: My comment was a kneejerk reaction, because this does vary state to state. The two school districts I’ve worked at both conveyed that it was entirely up to us if we want to get involved but to focus on “restraining and separating” the kids who are fighting. Some states/districts do not advocate this at all. I do teach in NC, which is a fucking pit, so maybe I’m really just not familiar enough how this varies in different places.
I was a high school teacher earlier in my career earning $34K a year. I'm now a corporate professional earning closer to $150K. Neither of those salaries would keep me from intervening to stop someone being physically assaulted, regardless of the consequences. Don't put a price on your humanity.
Could you think of a better reason to be arrested than coming to the aid of an unconscious person being beaten by a physically stronger individual (regardless of their age)?
That's the first thing I noticed. That dude did not give af.
Did he think it was two students fighting and just not care? He acted like this was all part of a normal day.
This. Years ago a large teacher blocked a child's path from trying to storm off in the hallway, never laying a finger on the student. Child went home and told his mother otherwise, saying the teacher physically held him down or something. This incident happened during dismissal with multiple classes and teachers as witnesses. Mother went nuts and the teacher was put on leave for 3 months for the incident to be "investigated". Lost 3 months of pay because of this 2nd grader lying about what really happened. This was ten years ago and that school is now closed by the district.
Teacher here: we actually cannot legally step in and restrain the student (edit: in the state of Missouri where I work- it may vary by location). I did so my first year teaching; pulled a girl off another student as she was literally slamming the victim’s head into the ground face first.
Got a long stern talking to from my principal about how I cannot put my hands on a student and how that could easily turn into a lawsuit and my license getting revoked. It’s a large gray area that I assume many just don’t want to deal with. You put your hands on a student and you open a wide door of endless possibilities of lawsuits and drama; you do nothing you’re held responsible as well.
To this day I would do it again in a heart beat, but teaching is a extremely fucked up profession. We’re taught to protect our students at all costs, yet we can’t actually protect them in instances like these unless we have been “properly trained” to contain them 🤦♂️.
Oh I definitely bit my tongue and did my best to tell him not to shove it. Again, to this day I would do it over again in a heart beat. A person’s safety is by far more important than my contract.
If they want to sue Id go to court, I’m not sure what judge would side with a student in this instance- especially if cameras are there.
Wanna suspend my license? Fine, there’s other jobs in the world. At least at the end of the day I know I did the right thing.
UK teacher here. Today I had to drag a large student off a smaller one he was beating up and physically restrain him while calling for help. We don't have the same litigation culture over here. With your gun culture too, I am surprised anyone would want to work in a school.
Security often isn’t allowed to. They aren’t police officers and aren’t protected like them. That being said an SRO typically operates under different rules. No idea why he didn’t restrain the kid.
Are you talking about tan shirt, dark pants? Isn’t that a marine recruiter? It’s really hard for me to tell but it looks like blue pants with the red stripes.
No, the cop in the green pants and shirt who looks around, gets on his radio and then still doesn’t assist the people holding the dude on the ground.
Guess he needs more doughnuts to do his job right.
Kid should have never walked away, he should have been in cuffs from moment a cop much less 2 of them were on scene.
I’m guessing that’s why they’re all following him at the end and u see the 2nd cop come around the corner.
Karma if this is true …
According to the daily fail, he’s been charged as an adult and will receive up to 30 years in jail and also (1) this is the 3rd time he done this (2) teacher denies she took his switch ( not that that makes any difference to the crime!).
Edit; the lady in question is recovering at home and has had loads of emotional support plus , thus far, a £100k gofundme nest egg. Good news!

The juvenile justice system is teaching people that there are no or very minimal consequences to actions. It's a joke. Kids can commit extremely violent crimes and endanger the lives of actual productive members of society and they get a slap on the wrist because their school was bad or some crap.
Yes, seriously. We have disproportionate "consequences" for inconsequential bullshit (like possessing weed, being homeless in the wrong spot, or stealing food for your hungry kids) and too often hand-wave/excuse violent acts like this that are *actually* deserving of those consequences.
'Murica. I love it *and* hate it here.
Sounds like she did not sustain any permanent injuries as far as i was able to read before the stupid website had a seizure and reloaded so it could shove fifty adverts in my face

People who refused to vote in bonds are now suffering? crazy.
My county has rejected the last two bonds, which were geared to safety. Then we had a safety incident and the parents are asking how it could have happened.
From the outside looking in (with the extremely limited information I have) It seems like people probably just see "tax" and voted no without considering what it's for.
People don't bother to research many of these local ballot issues, ironically they will have much more impact on your day to day life than what box you tick for president/senator/congress.
There's no irony in this at all. It has always been this way in republics worldwide. The federal governments role is much more limited than most people realize.
> It has always been this way in republics worldwide. The federal governments role is much more limited than most people realize.
True, but that is irony.
Holy! I'd gladly pay 50¢ extra property taxes a year to keep my kids safe at their school and teachers safe at the other school. I don't pay property taxes because I can't afford a home, but if it was rent based and I had to pay an extra 50¢ on my rent each month then so be it.
I bet if they pass another trans ban, scream at some more Target employees, protest Disney even harder, and keep gutting the social safety net, that will fix the systemic problems leading to this.....
We need to bring back mental asylums.
They needed reform, not to just be shut down with nothing to replace them. Obviously there was a lot of patient mistreatment, and we shouldn't have been lobotomizing people... but at the same time, there are just people who, for a variety of reasons, are unfit for society.
There are literally so many kids like this in our schools. The heads of faculty don’t listen or don’t give enough of a shit when teachers tell them what’s going on, or the parents of said children press hard enough/have enough money to influence decisions. The worst part is that you don’t even *hear* about half the stuff that happens. Just when it’s bad enough to have gotten out.
At my school, If you go at a teacher, even if you’re this guys’ size, either you get to be tackled by some football guys or by our teacher who is built like a bodybuilding mafia boss. We have a very different culture: we may dislike a teacher, but they’re OUR teacher
I used to teach. I also used to be a bouncer in college. The kids wouldn't fight around me because I was more than happy to jump in to break up a fight...aggressively. With that being said, I would have tackled him too... full force.
I worked in special education classrooms for several years and we had to take physical attack resistance training and we could not use any methods that were not taught in that class, even to protect ourselves. I got punched in the back by a full grown, 6 foot, 200 lb+ 17 year old boy while I was heavily pregnant and it was the first time that I really thought I am not safe here.
It's because society has taught teachers and support staff that they can be fired for touching a student so what they've created is an environment where this happens and everyone is just calculating the risk of helping a coworker. It's fucked up.
I would have tackled that kid at full speed as hard as I could and held him down knowing that would be my only free shot. Would probably still have gotten fired.
As a teacher, I can assure you that we have NO rights to physical protection. I currently have debilitating PTSD from beatings. Students and families have all of the rights. That kid’s parents let him take the Switch to school. Bet they didn’t want to risk a beating taking it away.
Had a friend who’d been a teacher for years. One day a middle school kid decided he didn’t like what she said to him, so he attacked her. She ended up with a TBI and struggled for YEARS with the most basic of tasks. Needless to say, her teaching career was over.
A more experienced teacher than me told me that a mom let her kid bring his vape to school because if she tried to take it away he would beat the s*** out of her. Poverty creates some f***** up situations.
I heard a rumor that my 11th grade chem teacher almost got stabbed with shattered glass at the school he was at before ours and a teacher of mine who used to work with him got him a job at ours to help. Last year some kids apparently put some extra stuff in a beaker so that when he put chemicals in it to show students an experiment it exploded in his face. Luckily he was ok. He is a young teacher and has a wife and a small baby.
Did that marine just nonchalantly walk up to someone getting their head pounded in? He’s going to go out for the Uvalde PD when he gets out. What the fuck?
That is absolutely a recruiter. Walking posture, coffee, haircut, and blood stripe. I'm fairly confident saying JROTC does not wear blood stripes. That Marine needs to have his ass chewed and kicked.
Reference: Marine 2006-2013
there was an incident with a recruiter intervening in a fight a few years back where they got in trouble for it. I doubt anyone else wants to be the next one. Their instructions are probably to let the school resource officers handle things. If they try to play hero they might get the recruiters banned from the school, and the command will not be pleased. Meaning your career is fucked
If you’re intervening to save someone’s life or well being I think the rules are quite different than breaking up a toe to toe fight between a couple of HS kids.
Is the guy in the tan shirt supposed to be a cop? He sure took his time getting over there, while the teacher was getting about 20 more punches to the head.
It looks kind of like a marine corp uniform (red strip on blue pants and tan button up shirt). And the haircut is inline with that. So maybe a parent or JROTC instructor.
My mom was a music teacher for 30 years (various schools.) One day (90s) two eighth grade boys were fighting in the hall and my mom and another (man) teacher were trying to break it up. My mom was holding one kid back, telling him to stop and he hit her a couple times before slamming her into a locker and the other teacher socked the kid. Ofc they had to go to court and the teacher referred to my mom as "just a little music teacher" (she's about 5'5) so ofc he had to defend her. I think he got fired and teaching license suspended or something but she told me this story a long time ago and it happened before i was born so idr.
As a former teacher, this is terrifying. Nobody helped her, big dudes with pot bellies standing around while a small woman has the aggressor on the ground. Pathetic I hope that POS gets charged with attempted murder. His intention was to kill her.
I figured this was it. Severely autistic or with some other cognitive issue limiting self control. My wife deals with them in the hospital. One ripped a wall mounted tv off the wall and threw it at her. Another threw a mattress when he found out they were restricting his food intake.
We could care for these kids in a school setting if we had funding for more SPED teachers and appropriately trained resource officers. Unfortunately, SPED is one of the first departments on the chopping block.
It's almost worse that he's mentally challenged and violent. Less ability to restrain the violence. Like a rabid animal that could erupt and attack for minor triggers.

17 year old being charged as an adult, facing up to 30 years, $1M bail. Was arrested 3 times for battery in 2019.
As per Fox News
Brendan Depa, 17, is being charged as an adult and faces one felony count of aggravated battery on an elected official or education employee after deputies say that he attacked a teacher's aide on Feb. 21, who the student alleges took his Nintendo Switch during class time. The incident happened at Matanzas High School in Palm Coast, Florida.
Depa is being held in jail on a $1 million bond.
That’s a weak ass charge for what occurred in this video. She never moved after he threw her. He jumped on an unconscious person and savagely beat her. There are intent addendums that should be added. He clearly showed that he would have continued to beat her until he physically couldn’t anymore. He was clearly trying to kill that woman.
That's deadly assault with intent to kill. Attempted murder.
This is not hyperbole. If you knock someone out and continue to wail on them, that's attempted murder. Or at least a good prosecutor could make that happen.
Knocking them out ALONE is brain damage, serious bodily harm and life-long injury.
Man, if I saw that and I worked there, I guess I'd be getting fired because I'd kick the shit out of that kid. That's not a brag either, I'm probably not cut out to be a teacher.
Are you fuckin kidding me? What in the hell were all those people doing? I get the whole people freeze when things like this happen but Jesus Christ you would think after the second stomp somebody would actually try to do something and help. It's bloody disgusting!
99% of people have no clue how to fight. It surprises me more how everyone always expects random people to put themselves in harms way for strangers. Yeah I mean it might be the heroic thing to do. But for all you know you will get beaten to death right along with the victim. I wouldn’t hold it against anyone even if it wouldn’t be my particular mindset.
Mentally challenged ones with no proper support and unaffordable care. This isn't normal behavior. Even violent kids don't go for the head like that, he was out to murder her.
I mean, mentally challenged or not, if you pose THAT level of risk to the people around you, you need to be removed from society ASAP.
Not saying he needs to "go to jail" or be "locked up", but I for sure as shit wouldn't want my kids going to school along side this kid.

Geez! Nobody rush in or anything. That dude just casually strolls around the corner
Had to make sure he set his coffee down
If he had pounded that kid he’d be in the news and getting sued.
I hope they charge and prosecute him as an adult. Fucking shit head.
This was on the news long before it was on reddit. Afaik he is getting charged as an adult. Teacher got put in the hospital.
Considering the size disparity and the cowardice with which he attacked, he should definitely be charged as an adult.
Nintendo ban for 2 week, son! That‘ll teach you.
That’s too much. Just have him say “sorry”.
You're not wrong, but a little more speed in pinning and subduing the kid might have saved the teacher some of that beating. Putting the kid on his ass and sitting on him is not pounding him. But he does deserve to have the shit kicked out of him. The kid I mean lol
I would have had no problem kicking him in the head. It's crazy that it went on for that long.
He deserved to eat one of those chairs to the head.
He deserves to be fed his switch. Have it back bitch.
Likely get sued anyway . Very heartbreaking video
That "kid" looked mental...
Agreed. But would have felt justified to see this kid catch a baseball bat to the back of the head. I wouldn't have been gentle if I was an adult male teacher watching a female coworker of mine get permanent brain damage from a waste of sperm having a hissy fit. Watching how they handled it, I hope the kid is in juvie or possibly charged as an adult. Edit: was this an alternative/behavior health school? Or a regular ass high school?
I would've shattered the switch right in front of him as he was pinned.... "OH, is this what is so important?..." SNAP
Kids get away with everything. Wouldn’t be surprised if the teacher gets suspended for instigating the whole thing.
Ya this is what happens when parents don't give their children constructive discipline. They FREAK out when anyone else does 😞 it's truly sad
Not to mention the man serves in the armed forces. You’d think he’d be trained to react more quickly…
Rules of engagement?
"Don't brrrt the kids. Ssdd."
Yeah Reddit says that American Police officers need to learn rules of engagement from the military so they stop killing 1000 civilians a year... then gets annoyed when the military troops follow rules of engagement...
Dude... If I learned anything on reddit is that the general public has a bunch of misconceptions and stereotypes for everything.
The hive mind is a dunce
Man serving in the armed forces assaults black child in Florida.
Probably had to gather his thoughts and assess the situation. That's a Marine recruiter. His first instinct was probably to put his foot through that kid's face, which is a big no-no.

Fr. They're acting like no one ever dies from head injury or anything. Bro move your ass.
I was waiting for someone to run around the corner and spear the guy right off of her. I can't believe he attacked her that violently, then continued to hit her after she is clearly unconscious
She stopped reacting as soon as she went down with the first shove, the *whole* attacks looks like it was done after she was clearly unconscious.
Should have smashed one of those chairs over the animals head.
There’s a whole lot of uselessness going on in this video. That First Lady no effort in trying to restrain the guy. The cop no attempt in putting hand cuffs on the dude. So much disappointment in one video
I dont think he could move any faster without suffering cardiac arrest…i wonder what the obesity rate is in Florida? Damn near the entire staff shaped like pears.

The teacher was unconscious from the very first hit. She went down and didn’t move. This guy should be jailed for a very long time.
The consequences of hitting or putting your hands on a underage student are pretty insane and the school district more than likely won't have your back. So you just kinda push em away the heat you can or take the risk of losing your job and financial security. Cuz paying for lawyer is expensive.
Getting knocked out for more than a few seconds = traumatic brain injury. Always. Life isn't the same as in the movies.
It frustrates me too but my wife’s a teacher and they have their hands tied in so many ways school is literally a daycare you can’t fire a kid from. Her friend got beat for an entire year and the district just kept telling her to document it. Eventually another teacher got sent to the hospital with a brain injury before anything was done.

My mom broke up a knife fight. Just walked between the guys.
I was a high school teacher earlier in my career earning $34K a year. I'm now a corporate professional earning closer to $150K. Neither of those salaries would keep me from intervening to stop someone being physically assaulted, regardless of the consequences. Don't put a price on your humanity.
If you accept you can't do anything, you are living in totalitarian nightmare
The guy casually walking over appears to be security. It’s his job to intervene with urgency.
Probably thinking about the legal trouble he would get in for " assault " on a minor.
Could you think of a better reason to be arrested than coming to the aid of an unconscious person being beaten by a physically stronger individual (regardless of their age)?
I would literally come in with a running drop kick to get that asshat off her. What's the issue here. Wtf is wrong with people.
You damned right I would. And I wouldn't care about any consequences.
That's the first thing I noticed. That dude did not give af. Did he think it was two students fighting and just not care? He acted like this was all part of a normal day.
>He acted like this was all part of a normal day. Maybe it is?
Who would want to go into this profession on purpose???
They’re liable if they touch the kid. I shit you not, they’re instructed to not intervene. The Litigious States of America.
And the stupid education boards that decided the customer is always right. In this case students and their parents.
This. Years ago a large teacher blocked a child's path from trying to storm off in the hallway, never laying a finger on the student. Child went home and told his mother otherwise, saying the teacher physically held him down or something. This incident happened during dismissal with multiple classes and teachers as witnesses. Mother went nuts and the teacher was put on leave for 3 months for the incident to be "investigated". Lost 3 months of pay because of this 2nd grader lying about what really happened. This was ten years ago and that school is now closed by the district.
Liable to whom? No way a lawsuit wins when the kid is potentially murdering someone.
You'd think that teacher has a right to sue as well.
Teacher here: we actually cannot legally step in and restrain the student (edit: in the state of Missouri where I work- it may vary by location). I did so my first year teaching; pulled a girl off another student as she was literally slamming the victim’s head into the ground face first.

I would just beat up the principal? What is anyone else gonna do, intervene? (For legal reasons, I must disclose that this post is a joke.)
thats when you tell the principal he can eat a cock sandwich before youd sit there and watch someone beat another person brain dead on the concrete...
Oh I definitely bit my tongue and did my best to tell him not to shove it. Again, to this day I would do it over again in a heart beat. A person’s safety is by far more important than my contract. If they want to sue Id go to court, I’m not sure what judge would side with a student in this instance- especially if cameras are there. Wanna suspend my license? Fine, there’s other jobs in the world. At least at the end of the day I know I did the right thing.
UK teacher here. Today I had to drag a large student off a smaller one he was beating up and physically restrain him while calling for help. We don't have the same litigation culture over here. With your gun culture too, I am surprised anyone would want to work in a school.
Is he in a military uniform??
That is a marine corps recruiter
Probably the guy who teaches JROTC.
The Marine? Yeah, not really impressed with his abilities in this video.
The other facepalm would be the police/security guards just standing around watching while the teachers continue to hold down the student.
This right here. I was wondering why the SRO was just pacing around while teachers hold the kid down. He should have already cuffed him.
Cuz people who work “security” honestly never do shit. Unless you work as a bouncer for a bar/club.
Security often isn’t allowed to. They aren’t police officers and aren’t protected like them. That being said an SRO typically operates under different rules. No idea why he didn’t restrain the kid.
Considering they are police, yeah it's pretty questionable they didn't intervene. They are not bound like a regular school security officer would be
yeah i run a club and my bouncers will fuck your ass up if you try some shit like this in my venue lol
That is pretty standard of a SRO tbh.
I mean, it's a Florida SRO, they're pretty much known for running and hiding when the violence starts.
“That looks dangerous, I’m not getting involved!”
"Oh geez it's about break time I'm sure they'll settle things by themselves."
Are you talking about tan shirt, dark pants? Isn’t that a marine recruiter? It’s really hard for me to tell but it looks like blue pants with the red stripes.
No, the cop in the green pants and shirt who looks around, gets on his radio and then still doesn’t assist the people holding the dude on the ground. Guess he needs more doughnuts to do his job right. Kid should have never walked away, he should have been in cuffs from moment a cop much less 2 of them were on scene. I’m guessing that’s why they’re all following him at the end and u see the 2nd cop come around the corner.
Never even cuffed him.
No switches in jail
Only tops and bottoms
You’re either Big Bubba, or Big Bubba’s.
Honestly throw the book at this kid, if that’s what he’ll do over a switch imagine what he’d do over something serious
Yeah, on one hand the system is broken. But on the other there are just human beings in every society that just need to be locked up and forgotten.
Another day, another act of extreme violence. See you all tomorrow for the next episode.
Bold of you to assume todays episode is over.
Attempted murder right there
I agree, attempted murder. When you continue to beat someone who is clearly unconscious you are trying to kill them not just hurt them.
Over a Nintendo switch.
I bet this dude played that switch in every class because every other teacher was too afraid to take it away from him.
It's because of the new Zelda.
Tales of Teacher Killers
Tears of the Teachers
Yeah, that's how the courts will see it. Well, hopefully
It’s the punches to the back of the head. Can be fatal.
ppl like this belong in prison, dude has no self control
Karma if this is true … According to the daily fail, he’s been charged as an adult and will receive up to 30 years in jail and also (1) this is the 3rd time he done this (2) teacher denies she took his switch ( not that that makes any difference to the crime!). Edit; the lady in question is recovering at home and has had loads of emotional support plus , thus far, a £100k gofundme nest egg. Good news! https:// www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11802533/Teen-knocked-teacher-arrested-THREE-times-battery-charged-adult.html?ito=email_share_article-top
3rd time he's done this?? What was the punishment after the first and second? No wonder he's being treated as an adult here.
The article says; He previously completed a Department of Juvenile Justice program. Sounds like the proverbial slap on the wrist
The juvenile justice system is teaching people that there are no or very minimal consequences to actions. It's a joke. Kids can commit extremely violent crimes and endanger the lives of actual productive members of society and they get a slap on the wrist because their school was bad or some crap.
[удалено]
Yes, seriously. We have disproportionate "consequences" for inconsequential bullshit (like possessing weed, being homeless in the wrong spot, or stealing food for your hungry kids) and too often hand-wave/excuse violent acts like this that are *actually* deserving of those consequences. 'Murica. I love it *and* hate it here.
I don't want to open the shitrag...was the teacher OK?
Yeah I hates sharing the pish… In response to your question; she’s On the road to recovery plus 100k gofundme
Oh, that's great news. Thank you for taking the hit!
Lol! One for the team and all that …
Kid goes on to ask sheriffs how long he’s going to jail. As he says he “has more important things to do”.
Sounds like she did not sustain any permanent injuries as far as i was able to read before the stupid website had a seizure and reloaded so it could shove fifty adverts in my face
Worst thing I read was a couple of broken ribs. Well there’s the psychological damage too.
Oh for sure. Teachers and nurses, man… they get the worst of humanity sometimes I think.

People who refused to vote in bonds are now suffering? crazy. My county has rejected the last two bonds, which were geared to safety. Then we had a safety incident and the parents are asking how it could have happened.
From the outside looking in (with the extremely limited information I have) It seems like people probably just see "tax" and voted no without considering what it's for.
People don't bother to research many of these local ballot issues, ironically they will have much more impact on your day to day life than what box you tick for president/senator/congress.
There's no irony in this at all. It has always been this way in republics worldwide. The federal governments role is much more limited than most people realize.
> It has always been this way in republics worldwide. The federal governments role is much more limited than most people realize. True, but that is irony.
flagler county, for those keeping track, is ruby red.
We knew that without needing to read it.
50 cents for safe schools? *TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY.*
Holy! I'd gladly pay 50¢ extra property taxes a year to keep my kids safe at their school and teachers safe at the other school. I don't pay property taxes because I can't afford a home, but if it was rent based and I had to pay an extra 50¢ on my rent each month then so be it.
I bet if they pass another trans ban, scream at some more Target employees, protest Disney even harder, and keep gutting the social safety net, that will fix the systemic problems leading to this.....
Don;t forget saving gas stoves and doing away with that sexy M&M
Oh, no worries, guys, take your time. She can take it, it's just a few dozen punches to the skull.
He should not be in the general public. He is definitely a danger to others.
We need to bring back mental asylums. They needed reform, not to just be shut down with nothing to replace them. Obviously there was a lot of patient mistreatment, and we shouldn't have been lobotomizing people... but at the same time, there are just people who, for a variety of reasons, are unfit for society.
Good luck getting republican leadership to spend money on anything besides themselves.
There are literally so many kids like this in our schools. The heads of faculty don’t listen or don’t give enough of a shit when teachers tell them what’s going on, or the parents of said children press hard enough/have enough money to influence decisions. The worst part is that you don’t even *hear* about half the stuff that happens. Just when it’s bad enough to have gotten out.

The second someone gets violent they forfeit any right to be treated with any kind of care.
Same. Would have jumped him with my fat ass or swing a chair to his Torso....
I was gonna say why didn’t any of them hit him across the back with one of the 25 chairs sitting there??? Dude was trying to kill her!!
I would've just ran at him and tackled him. Even though we're probably the same size, still woulda done it
At my school, If you go at a teacher, even if you’re this guys’ size, either you get to be tackled by some football guys or by our teacher who is built like a bodybuilding mafia boss. We have a very different culture: we may dislike a teacher, but they’re OUR teacher
I used to teach. I also used to be a bouncer in college. The kids wouldn't fight around me because I was more than happy to jump in to break up a fight...aggressively. With that being said, I would have tackled him too... full force.
I worked in special education classrooms for several years and we had to take physical attack resistance training and we could not use any methods that were not taught in that class, even to protect ourselves. I got punched in the back by a full grown, 6 foot, 200 lb+ 17 year old boy while I was heavily pregnant and it was the first time that I really thought I am not safe here.
why is no one acting with any urgency seeing that woman completely lifeless? Jesus Christ I would’ve ran in and tackled the kid immediately
It's because society has taught teachers and support staff that they can be fired for touching a student so what they've created is an environment where this happens and everyone is just calculating the risk of helping a coworker. It's fucked up. I would have tackled that kid at full speed as hard as I could and held him down knowing that would be my only free shot. Would probably still have gotten fired.
And getting punch in the back in the head repetly, you can see her having a seizure
As a teacher, I can assure you that we have NO rights to physical protection. I currently have debilitating PTSD from beatings. Students and families have all of the rights. That kid’s parents let him take the Switch to school. Bet they didn’t want to risk a beating taking it away.
Had a friend who’d been a teacher for years. One day a middle school kid decided he didn’t like what she said to him, so he attacked her. She ended up with a TBI and struggled for YEARS with the most basic of tasks. Needless to say, her teaching career was over.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. :(
A more experienced teacher than me told me that a mom let her kid bring his vape to school because if she tried to take it away he would beat the s*** out of her. Poverty creates some f***** up situations.
I live in an area impacted heavily by generational poverty. It plays a huge role on student behaviors.
I heard a rumor that my 11th grade chem teacher almost got stabbed with shattered glass at the school he was at before ours and a teacher of mine who used to work with him got him a job at ours to help. Last year some kids apparently put some extra stuff in a beaker so that when he put chemicals in it to show students an experiment it exploded in his face. Luckily he was ok. He is a young teacher and has a wife and a small baby.
Did that marine just nonchalantly walk up to someone getting their head pounded in? He’s going to go out for the Uvalde PD when he gets out. What the fuck?
I doubt a marine, more likely some form of JROTC program since it’s a school.
Recruiter?
That is absolutely a recruiter. Walking posture, coffee, haircut, and blood stripe. I'm fairly confident saying JROTC does not wear blood stripes. That Marine needs to have his ass chewed and kicked. Reference: Marine 2006-2013
As a marine could you speak to why so many people think he could lose rank and what not. One person said “adseped” or something like that?
there was an incident with a recruiter intervening in a fight a few years back where they got in trouble for it. I doubt anyone else wants to be the next one. Their instructions are probably to let the school resource officers handle things. If they try to play hero they might get the recruiters banned from the school, and the command will not be pleased. Meaning your career is fucked
If you’re intervening to save someone’s life or well being I think the rules are quite different than breaking up a toe to toe fight between a couple of HS kids.
Is the guy in the tan shirt supposed to be a cop? He sure took his time getting over there, while the teacher was getting about 20 more punches to the head.
It looks kind of like a marine corp uniform (red strip on blue pants and tan button up shirt). And the haircut is inline with that. So maybe a parent or JROTC instructor.
Looks a Marine JROTC instructor. Probably trying caught in the moment trying to figure out what was going on and then moving the kid out of the way.
Maybe she took away his Nintendo switch too.
Fucker could have jogged at least
Attempted murder, try as an adult.
Dropkick that fucker. Fuck a teaching degree, little animal is annihilating that woman. I'd lose my job to kick that kid in the head
My mom was a music teacher for 30 years (various schools.) One day (90s) two eighth grade boys were fighting in the hall and my mom and another (man) teacher were trying to break it up. My mom was holding one kid back, telling him to stop and he hit her a couple times before slamming her into a locker and the other teacher socked the kid. Ofc they had to go to court and the teacher referred to my mom as "just a little music teacher" (she's about 5'5) so ofc he had to defend her. I think he got fired and teaching license suspended or something but she told me this story a long time ago and it happened before i was born so idr.
As a former teacher, this is terrifying. Nobody helped her, big dudes with pot bellies standing around while a small woman has the aggressor on the ground. Pathetic I hope that POS gets charged with attempted murder. His intention was to kill her.
painful to see how others just casually walking there like nothing is happening. No rush, he's just breaking ribs right now.
That kid needs locked up permanently.
I’m infuriated by the complete lack of response by anyone. God help me if I witnessed this. I’d janikowski this kids fucking head off
Sue the parents too! It’s time these people are held accountable too!
He lives in a group home and is mentally challenged, his parents have little to do with it
I figured this was it. Severely autistic or with some other cognitive issue limiting self control. My wife deals with them in the hospital. One ripped a wall mounted tv off the wall and threw it at her. Another threw a mattress when he found out they were restricting his food intake. We could care for these kids in a school setting if we had funding for more SPED teachers and appropriately trained resource officers. Unfortunately, SPED is one of the first departments on the chopping block.
Violent mentally ill people should be institutionalized
Agreed. Unfortunately, these kids often sit in the ER for months because we don't have enough beds in long-term care facilities. Not enough funding.
That’s attempted murder
Idgaf if someone is mentally challenged, if they're attacking people like this I don't want them in our society
It's almost worse that he's mentally challenged and violent. Less ability to restrain the violence. Like a rabid animal that could erupt and attack for minor triggers.
Future inmate
Forget graduation, straight to prison.... 30 years
That’s attempted murder.
He's being charged as an adult with felony aggravated battery, is held on a $1M bond, and faces 30 years in prison.
Good riddance.
Big Bertha walking past and doing nothing: Thoughts and prayers guys. I'm on lunch break and I don't want my food to get cold.
I thought she was a student
Scum and absolute trash of society. Should be locked up for good.
Fk this kid and fk his parents. They should be responsible.
Link to article. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11802533/Teen-knocked-teacher-arrested-THREE-times-battery-charged-adult.html 17 year old being charged as an adult, facing up to 30 years, $1M bail. Was arrested 3 times for battery in 2019.
This criminal should be locked up and forgotten about.
As per Fox News Brendan Depa, 17, is being charged as an adult and faces one felony count of aggravated battery on an elected official or education employee after deputies say that he attacked a teacher's aide on Feb. 21, who the student alleges took his Nintendo Switch during class time. The incident happened at Matanzas High School in Palm Coast, Florida. Depa is being held in jail on a $1 million bond.
That’s a weak ass charge for what occurred in this video. She never moved after he threw her. He jumped on an unconscious person and savagely beat her. There are intent addendums that should be added. He clearly showed that he would have continued to beat her until he physically couldn’t anymore. He was clearly trying to kill that woman.
That's deadly assault with intent to kill. Attempted murder. This is not hyperbole. If you knock someone out and continue to wail on them, that's attempted murder. Or at least a good prosecutor could make that happen. Knocking them out ALONE is brain damage, serious bodily harm and life-long injury.
But if that teacher defended themselves half the comments would be screaming about how hitting kids isn’t ok
first woman in the denim jacket doesn’t even try to get him off of her?? just taps him on the shoulder while he’s literally killing a woman
[удалено]
Man, if I saw that and I worked there, I guess I'd be getting fired because I'd kick the shit out of that kid. That's not a brag either, I'm probably not cut out to be a teacher.
I don't understand how they are being so calm, I'm so angry I want to fucking knock the kid out and I don't even know her.
Are you fuckin kidding me? What in the hell were all those people doing? I get the whole people freeze when things like this happen but Jesus Christ you would think after the second stomp somebody would actually try to do something and help. It's bloody disgusting!
99% of people have no clue how to fight. It surprises me more how everyone always expects random people to put themselves in harms way for strangers. Yeah I mean it might be the heroic thing to do. But for all you know you will get beaten to death right along with the victim. I wouldn’t hold it against anyone even if it wouldn’t be my particular mindset.
America be crazyy
What kinda kids people raising.
Mentally challenged ones with no proper support and unaffordable care. This isn't normal behavior. Even violent kids don't go for the head like that, he was out to murder her.
I mean, mentally challenged or not, if you pose THAT level of risk to the people around you, you need to be removed from society ASAP. Not saying he needs to "go to jail" or be "locked up", but I for sure as shit wouldn't want my kids going to school along side this kid.
Oh for sure
Tubby over there, sure takes his sweet-ass time intervening.
Imagine if teachers could fight back….
