oh.. their punishment will be a 30 minute detention, and be hailed as heroes.

Maybe in your twisted world...

As I've suggested you should do in these cases, look for the LOCAL COVERAGE

Per local channel 10: (https://www.local10.com/news/local/2022/03/11/bullying-over-race-at-coconut-creek-middle-school-gets-5-arrested-police-say/)

• The attack happened in a Florida Rec Center - an after school program near their Middle School (not in the school)
• 2 of the 5 children who were arrested were actually white
• the attack was clearly and obviously racially motivated, but contrary to some reports, there was no specific mention of "slavery" or "1700" - instead, it was shouted "this is opposite day" and "you're white" and "brown power"
• all 5 children are between the ages of 11 and 15 (15 would be rather old for a Middle School in Florida - but only by about a year or two)
• all 5 do attend a nearby Middle School - and parents from both sets (victims and perpetrators in this instance) report that bullying is common in the school, and that the school does little to nothing to stop it.
• Contrary to other reports, all 5 were charged with misdemeanors (common for "scuffles" between children), but the local DA is reviewing the case - there is a potential that they could still be labeled "hate crimes", which would make the charges felonies. In Fla, this is the normal course of action - arresting officers do not make the decision on whether to charge as a "hate crime".
• The whole event lasted only a few seconds & no one was seriously injured (at least not physically).
• The 5 children charged have been prohibited from returning to school pending a separate school investigation.

BTW: At least as-of today, the video of the reporter (who interviewed 1 parent of an attacker and 1 parent of a victim) is followed online by a story about a dude who whipped out his junk in a Starbucks in Miami and started following these girls around....literally beating off while walking behind them! The girls took videos while the store called 9-1-1...

Florida Man is alive and well! I live in one CRAZY-ASS State! (People used to think if CA as the "land of fruits and nuts" - we've got more nuts in FL, I believe!)
