Explain to me how the kid's account of what happened could possibly be twisted around in such a way as to place teh blame on him?? Explain to us how an ADULT couldn't simply dismiss the child or report him to authorities for them to deal with instead of bullying the kid. C'mon, Mikeyy, put your money where your mouth and fid some way to exhonerate this twit for this...

I have no idea. Maybe it was a back and forth that had been going on for days as a sort of game and it got out of hand. Who knows. The driver should have acted more adult but I was commenting that just because a kid is 12 doesn't mean they are unable to be provocative.

The "provocation" was mentioned in the OP...

Quote:
The boy’s mother – who was only identified as Debbie – told the radio station that several days ago some students in the back of the bus were chanting “Romney, Romney.”

“She made my son come up to the front (of the bus) and told him all Republicans are liars”
Now if you feel that justifies the driver's actions, have at it...

I didn't justify the drivers actions at all. I in fact said I didn't.
