Based kid(who punched the one who was holding the sign)

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 minutes ago

I hope the school took disciplinary action for that kid filming minors without consent

Protester was saved by real law enforcement, the kind that's trained not to overreact.

I doubt you will ever see this, nazi punching kid, but I am proud of you. Keep up the good work.

The kid with the ICE sign is a moron

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 19 points 1 hour ago

Worse, a fascist. His parents are almost certainly fascists, too.

Schools in the US call the police for schoolyard fights?

That's crazy

[–] raimundojcc@lemmy.zip 5 points 52 minutes ago

They only call the police for fist fights. If it's a true fight, a gun one, they call CSI.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 25 minutes ago

the school police (SRO, formerly truancy officer) also try to stop you from ditching. i used to bribe mine with egg rolls.

Schools in the US have officers specifically assigned to the school. Like the officer’s full time job is to patrol the halls. They’re called School Resource Officers, and they are a large part of the school-to-prison pipeline, as their entire job is focused on getting kids out of regular school and into the prison system. Kids get arrested for things that could be (and previously were) handled by school discipline instead. But since school admins don’t want to deal with it, (because it would require actually making decisions on a case-by-case basis), it’s easier for them to just default to having a kid carted off to juvie by the SRO. And SROs come with all of the same problems and trappings as regular officers; massive racial disparities, being trained for violent escalation as the default, etc…

The stats for SROs are actually pretty staggering. The idea started in the 1950’s, but didn’t really become widespread until the late 90’s when the government started funding specific SRO grants and initiatives, to make them more easily accessible to schools. Columbine (and the subsequent rise in school shootings throughout the 2000’s) poured more fuel on the fire. By 2010, around 45% of middle and high schools in America had SROs. By 2020, that number was nearly 70%.

Schools that invest heavily into SRO programs see a marked increase in arrests (and subsequent drop-outs as kids inevitably end up in the prison system) before graduation. But because no public figure wants to look like they’re soft on crime, politicians keep pushing SRO programs onto school admins. Because more arrests makes it look like they’re cracking down on crime. When in reality, the SRO’s primary role is turning minor problems and disagreements into life-ruining ones.

They call the police for everything. It's the only public service they have left...

*Public disservice

[–] stressballs@lemmy.zip 1 points 50 minutes ago* (last edited 50 minutes ago)

Don't you think it's wise to educate children on what it's like to be incarcerated? Those camps weren't built just to house immigrants.

[–] erev@lemmy.world 40 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Schools in the US often have a police officer on campus known as an SRO — a School Resource Officer. They're about as useful as you'd expect from American police.

[–] TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website 27 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

They kill dog and beat their wife ?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's unclear how they even find the dog's wife, but yes.

[–] Deme@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 hours ago

So that's what the huge budgets and the surveillance is for...

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

They do treat black and white kids differently depending on how south you are.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 42 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

So where's this kid's GoFundMe? For like legal defense against suspension or whatever. Doesn't matter, but I'd throw $5 to buy them a drink

  • "Ok"

The saddest thing about it? The kids that so eagerly embrace fascism don't realize that the fascists and tech-oligarchs they will help to put in charge don't give a fuck about them. Those kids are working hard to create a system that will oppress them. Just like MAGA farmers they will realize they're fucked once it's too late.

I got banned from reddit for saying people should punch nazis.

On a thread about some dude wearing a nazi armband to a funeral for someone who got killed by cops...

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 26 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Hey! I got banned for the same reason. Together let's punch Nazis when we get the chance!

[–] helvetpuli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 hour ago

Seems like it's going around. I had that happen to me too.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Here's a nazi, there's a nazi, and another neonazi, fashy nazi, flashy nazi, nazi nazi PUNCH!

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 2 points 36 minutes ago

Pa Rappa the Rapper? That little dude and onion would fuck some Nazis up

[–] Narauko@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Is that to the tune of llama llama duck?

Not the best punch I've ever seen, but I love the spirit of it and we need more Nazi punchers for sure.

[–] draco_aeneus@mander.xyz 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sure he just needs some more practice. After a few more Nazis are punched, he'll be an expert, I'm sure.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

You know how you get to Carnegie Hall don't ya?

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 64 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Ok now we need a benevolent mma or boxer with a media presence to reach out and offer to teach this kid proper technique explicitly for his future Nazi punching activities

Non-violent protests work because it really highlights the brutality of the oppressor in contrast to the moral righteousness of the protestor. It's a public opinion tool.

However, the moment you move into the arena of violence, all of this is null and void. The only question is: who has the bigger guns? That person will win.

In this case, whatever you think of the moral standpoint of the two students, the ICE-banner student has the optics in their favour. They can claim (and have in the video) that they're peacefully protesting and exposing the violence of their oppressor, opressor that resorts to violence at the slightest disagreement. Truth doesn't matter anymore, everything is about optics (look at the DOJ FFS).

Good on the kid I guess, but this same admin called in the National Guard because Big Balls got jumped. Ggwp

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 9 points 1 hour ago

This is historically inaccurate. Historically successful revolutions usually take a multilateral approach using multiple groups and approaches including taking up arms and meeting violence with violence. A good example of this would be South African liberation from apartheid
