I don't know if I've ever been this pissed off while writing a diary. And I've written about some pretty fucking outrageous things. But my hands are quite literally shaking while I'm typing this. Maybe it was the video footage (which I'm going to share with you...be forewarned, it's quite disturbing) that really drove it home, or maybe this story just takes me back to the days when I got bullied, harassed, and threatened daily and nobody gave a shit. In any case, I'm fit to be tied right now. I think many of you might have the same reaction.
Basically, this is what happened. A student has been harassing another (gay) student at Union-Scioto High School in Chillicothe, Ohio, for quite some time. Apparently, the harassment even extended to Facebook, where the bully commented on a picture of the gay teen (whose name has not been released) and said: "You fag. Check out the definition of a fag." Anyway, video footage caught on another student's cell phone shows this bully standing around and waiting for the gay teen, showing pretty clear premeditation. He then beats the living shit out of him while other students watch. The gay student suffered a possible concussion and a chipped tooth. The video was posted on Facebook. No arrest was made. In fact, the only punishment handed to the assaulter was a three-day suspension from school. Seriously. A three-fucking-day suspension.
Watch the video, which is narrated by the victim's mother, after the fold. Again, it's pretty disturbing.
