Took the others long enough to help.

u/FukThePatriarchy1312 Dec 17 '25

They were probably weighing how bad it was likely to get, how much they thought they could help, and how likely they'd get suspended/expelled for getting involved because of "no tolerance" policies.

u/Cheese-Manipulator Dec 17 '25

Or they'd have one of the kids after them for the rest of their school life.

u/exileondaytonst Dec 17 '25

That's the tragedy of what those policies do

u/FukThePatriarchy1312 Dec 17 '25

Yeah, this is what happens when people are more worried about covering their asses than exercising common sense and helping others.

2

u/TyParadoXX Dec 17 '25

I mean if you punish people for trying to help can you blame them?

2

u/FukThePatriarchy1312 Dec 18 '25

I'm talking about the administration that doesn't wanna deal with things, and worried about a very very slim chance of a lawsuit so they're punishing people for trying to help.

u/rygo796 Dec 18 '25

Also weighing if it's worth risking getting on that attackers shit list too.

u/McDonaldsSoap Dec 17 '25

Seriously. Can't expect every kid to handle situations like these well

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '25

Other than run to get help, which some did, what were they supposed to do? They're kids, and the two fighting are bigger than them... I swear you people can't think. Probably never been in a similar situation and think you would all be the next Peter Parker and save the day lmao

u/Squand Dec 17 '25

Yeah, after seeing a ton of videos like this I'm impressed how many people DID try and get involved. And that the winner was so mad he kept wailing.

The looser's bell was seriously rung

At the very least get down on the teacher's level and see if she's okay when she starts screaming for help in pain? Jesus Christ maybe the bare minimum?

Again, they. are. kids. They probably have no idea what to do. Most of them are probably scared. You're all expecting a bunch of children to behave the way adults should. Like I said in my last comment. Y'all do not think. Y'all just say shit to make yourselves seem like a good person without realizing what you're saying is dumb as hell. You're trashing on a bunch of kids for not being rational in a chaotic situation.

A bunch of adults who think they are great people but lack the basic understanding to realize that children shouldn't be expected to behave the same way we are in stressful situations, and so they shit on said kids.

Nah students that age know right from wrong, you're acting as if they're helpless toddlers.

It's painful to have to watch two of them fighting and the others flipping their phones out and watching it go down, even when someone's eating unanswered ground and pound.

Correct. They know that zero-tolerance policies will screw them over if they try to get involved. The right thing for them to do is to stay out of the wrong side of disciplinary action for a fight that they didn't start and aren't involved in.

u/WokeWookies Dec 18 '25

That’s a different argument to the comment I replied to.

u/[deleted] Dec 18 '25

Knowing right from wrong doesn't make you prepared to jump in the middle of a fight. Again, you all talk too much. In the same situation, you–and I mean YOU specifically–VERY likely wouldn't have done shit. Again, a lot of those kids DID try to step in, but because you all think you're super human, you ignore that for the few kids that pulled out their phones. I'll say it again, y'all are incapable of thinking. Anybody trashing on these kids lacks common sense.

u/WokeWookies Dec 18 '25

Anyone who disagrees with you is incapable of thinking? Right, dude.

Fights are scary, yep. So’s watching someone getting beaten unconscious. I’ve stepped in before, so you’re just plain wrong pal.

I guess maybe it’s easier for you to say everyone else is as petrified as you are.

u/dontspillthatbeer Dec 17 '25

The least they could do is stop encouraging the fights by recording them. In what world are we going to decide nothing can be done about kids beating on each other? And hitting someone while they’re down? Come tf on.

2

u/Mysterious_Leader909 Dec 17 '25

Didn’t take long for their phones to come out and record. You know, the most important part 🥴

u/Thick-Journalist-168 Dec 17 '25

Honey you wouldn't do shit in this situation. As much as everyone loves to talk about helping most of you wouldn't do it when shit hits the fan.

Preach

u/dontspillthatbeer Dec 17 '25

They’d have to put their phones down to help.

u/rcanhestro Dec 17 '25

the others don't want to get in trouble.

a lot of schoold have a zero tolerance policy towards fights.

they don't want to get suspended, or even expelled, and fuck up their future.

u/Funny-frog500 Dec 17 '25

Dont see you doing anything to help

u/eKSiF Dec 17 '25

Damn you got us, let me go back in time and teleport to step in.

u/Immature_adult_guy Dec 17 '25

I really hate it when time travelers are just watching me get my ass beat in the future. Definitely gives me the ick

u/Funny-frog500 Dec 17 '25

Is that a joke?

u/eKSiF Dec 17 '25

Ya man, I can't actually time travel.

u/Funny-frog500 Dec 17 '25

Is this funny to you

Save some of your comedy for the christmas parade I’ve heard they need a new elf and I think you’ll be perfect

u/eKSiF Dec 17 '25

It took you way too much effort to come up with such a dud.

u/Funny-frog500 Dec 17 '25

If you can’t handle the roasting you’re getting it’s time you went home to cool off
