How is this any different from when we were kids?

Sure, we didn’t film the fights because we didn’t have a camera with us all the time, but we just formed a circle and watched. Nobody jumped in to stop it, unless it was an adult that came along. I only ever saw two fights that actually turned into punches thrown in junior high, so it wasn’t common.

Did you guys jump in and stop fights or did you just watch them in junior high?

I see this stuff all the time. Nobody jumps in and just films. Times have really changed…. For the worst in this case

It's crazy. We had a fight like this in junior high except a knife was pulled.

You hated the guy for stopping a stabbing?

No. I hated the guy as a teacher. He stunk at his job. I liked his bravery for stopping the fight.

I get it. I was trying to insult you. I just didn’t understand.

There’s no reason to be sad. I was just kidding.

Just remember that we don't know who started that fight.

Regardless of who started it, that’s a brutal and sad ending for a kid.

jumping in is extremely risky, even ignoring potential injury. Schools have zero

Not disagreeing, but at least the referees aren’t standing around with their cameras out.

And there is the problem, people are too selfish. Only thinking about themselves

Same. Saw plenty of fights. They always got pulled off if they went down.

Same. Once you have declared dominance you stop the beating. Beating continuousl
