Florin High principal body slammed in student fight that results in 3 arrests

7. I live here. I attended that school. If my kid weren't homeschooled he would have been in the room.

He's those boys' age and this is our neighborhood. So I'm not sure why you're trying to explain the situation to me- if that video weren't so shaky I could probably put names to half the faces in the crowd.

Let me explain a few things to you: The only reason this particular fight is in the news is because racists want to shift the story away from that cop who assaulted a black girl in South Carolina. So they found a video on YouTube of some black teenagers 3,000 miles away making asses of themselves and they made international news out of it.

Teenagers are shortsighted, they're temperamental, and sometimes they get in fights. That's not news. It wasn't news when I was a kid and it wasn't news when you were a kid and oh boy do my parents have some stories about the nonsense that went on at their high schools when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

But somehow this fight, these teenagers, can be attributed to rap and to celebrity feuds (which are as old as celebrity culture, meaning your grandparents read about them in the paper and heard about them on the radio) and to whatever other nonsense you're going on about? Based on absolutely no data? You don't even know if the kids in that video listen to rap (but you assume, which you wouldn't if they were white) or follow celebrity twitter nonsense, and we do know that teenagers were doing stupid and sometimes violent things before rap or twitter existed.
