A video (below) showing 10-year-old Cequan Haskins being bullied and attacked for 40 minutes, on a school bus, by two 15-year-old bullies in May 2011 has recently been released.
The Appomattox County, Virginia teens used racial and sexual slurs, while they burned Haskins repeatedly with a cigarette lighter.
On the video, Haskins can be heard screaming and pleading with the teens to stop, but they continue the bullying and tell him to "sit down and shut your mouth."
Haskins' mother, Roxanne Haskins, released the video at a press conference on Friday. She told WSET-TV: "I wanted parents to be aware, that when I speak out, I'm speaking out for all kids. But unfortunately, this did happen to my child, and I want parents to be aware of what's going on in the school system."
"My son, he was a special needs child and he didn't deserve this. He was entitled to a safe transportation just like any other child in the Appomattox County Public School System."
Roxanne Haskins said that her son was scarred physically and emotionally, and has filed a lawsuit against the Appomattox County School Board. She says her son has been through hours of therapy.
The Daily Mail reports that the teen bullies were found guilty of disorderly conduct, assault and battery. However, the bus driver, Nancy Davis, who cheered the bullies on, was acquitted of child abuse charges.

I just recently got off Mike Adam's site...
..where there is a huge discussion going on about how we should protect ourselves from the violent (criminal) behavior of others.
He was arguing that the best way to even the playing field is to give honest citizens better access to handguns.
But he also stated that an armed attacker can be disarmed, if you know how, and especially if you gang up on them. But acting in self-defense from a position of inferior strength raises huge issues for most people. But the basic fact is obvious: They have never been trained to do this.
We mandate that school personnel, even bus drivers, know CPR and usually first aid. Well, how about training them in self-defense, too? That bus driver should have known to pull over, kick the bullies off, and call for police. I bet she wasn't even trained to do that.
"Self-defense" usually conjures up images of karate or judo. But it can start with actions a lot simpler than that. Like, how about shouting "stop!" "get away!" or "leave!" People with no training are not aware that this can be an effective defense. I have heard stories, though, of people successfully defending themselves - verbally - from armed individuals (it's actually the spiritual intention that does it). You can also remove a shoe, or grab a nearby object, and use it as a weapon, or a projectile. People just have no training, so they have no clue.
The assumption on the conspiracy sites is that governments want citizens feeling helpless and defenseless. Maybe that's why no one is talking about self-defense training. If no one in government brings up such an idea, then it's a sure sign: They are on the side of the bullies (criminals). And another layer of the facade peels off!

I think it also depends on a person's intentions. If one has common sense and some humanity, training or no training, those bullies would've been taking off the bus and the police would've been called, as soon as possible.

Quote of the Day
Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.
- Martin Luther King Jr
