A 17-year-old student continues to recover following a brutal beating by a classmate. The reason for the attack: The bully saw his victim carrying the pride flag.

The incident happened at Southwestern High School in the southern community of Piasa, Illinois. School administrators had promoted a “red, white, and blue,” day encouraging students to bring their favorite flags to school. The Jacksonville Journal-Courier reports that when a classmate noticed the student’s pride flag, he asked him to throw it away. When the student refused, his classmate attacked him, punching him in the head.

At the time of this writing, the extent of the victim’s injuries remains unclear.


Police later detained the assailant and charged him with excessive battery. He remains at a juvenile detention center and could face hate crime charges in the future.

Fellow students at Southwestern High, meanwhile, have sided with the bully.

“You wear a gay Pride flag to school and you don’t expect people to do anything? You go to Southern (sic) High, where we support the Confederate flag and you wonder why you get beat up?” one student posted to social media.


“It’s disrespectful to wear a pride flag on patriotic day, it’s not queer day,” another posted.

The victim’s brother also released screenshots of a terse conversation he had with a fellow student. When he asked what happened that got a student arrested, the “friend” showed little sympathy.

“Some gay kid brought a gay pride flag in and some kid beat the [expletive] out of him,” the classmate said, punctuating his statement with laughing emojis.


When the victim’s brother objected, the classmate showed no sympathy.

“Well don’t send him in a country ass school wearin’ some gay (expletive) if you don’t want his ass beat.”

2021 has seen a number of attacks on LGBTQ students and the pride flag in high schools across the United States. In Florida, a group of students carrying makeshift Confederate flags attacked a group of students promoting the school’s queer-straight alliance. In May, a 14-year-old student endured an attack from classmates for carrying the pride flag to school. In April, video of students defacing the pride flag at a Colorado high school went viral.

What sort of heckin' monsterino would dare harm a flag important to other people?

She should have been allowed to burn that flag.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Man those kids posting those supportive comments on social media under their real names are fucking more retarded than that faggot who brought the flag.

I remember when there were signs in the computer lab that said to not use your real name online ever.

Lost their eyebrows in the fire too, what a tragedy

Look, I'm not cartographer or keen on every state/territory that took sides during our Civil War... but Illinois is pretty fucking North to be considered "southern."

But what the fuck would I know, girls can have penises now in this gay ass day and age.

Well, I hear Chicago is "MAGA country" and quite dangerous for people of color and gays.

It is incredibly unlikely the twat was beaten over the flag.
The twat was more likely beaten for being a puling little nonce that's been tolerated for ages - this latest act of discourtesy was the final straw.

Let social norming do its dirty work, because there is nothing anyone can do to stop it anyway.

There is no way any of those comments are genuine. They sound exactly like what coastal elites think country folk talk like. They're right out of a bad, low budget movie about how evil and backward lower class whites are.

Notice how the "attacker" wasn't doxed and none of these supposed comments are linked to, just quoted? I'd put the odds at 80% didn't even happen, 15% orchestrated false flag, 4.9% did happen but was committed by a minority so they can't go into detail, .1% happened as described.

Actually, .1% is probably too generous considering how these Totally Real Students kept making sure to describe themselves and their evil, evil school as "southern", which absolutely no rural people do north of the Mason Dixon line. That's yet another out of touch upper class delusion.

Yeah that stood out to me as well. Nobody in MO, even bumfuck MO is going to LARP as a confederacy worshiper given it wasn’t even a confederate state. It has sympathizers but remained in the Union

I will say, living in Arkansas, there is the strange phenomenon of southern missouri being quite southern. It almost seems like the more north you go from Arkansas, the more southern it gets until about a third of the way up Missouri. Seems strange on the surface what with Missouri being a union state and all, but Confederate militias and guerillas fought out here, as did Union equivalents. Look up the Bushwhackers and Jayhawks(No, not the college team, but its related) for more info.

Whatever one's politics are, that's a really scummy thing to do.

They have two now. October is "LGBT History Month" apparently.

 

[MuuMuu Bunnylips]

Nice to see nothing has changed. I generally do not support beating up kids, but when you got this Queer bullshit to a point of actual divisiveness, I understand the frustration and anger. However, this is just exactly what I warned a lot of my past acquaintances would do if they continued the path they chose. Just gonna breed more racisms and homophobia.

Fag kids aren't kids.

They're fags.

I grew up in a rural, actual Southern town back during the AIDS crisis and we had zero gay kids beat up. We almost had one get his ass kicked but that was because he developed a crush on a football player and was very vocal about it. The football player's friends started teasing him and that made him pretty angry. I was friends with the gay kid and told him that he needed to cut out talking about liking this dude because it might cause problems. Luckily he did.

There was a case a few years ago where the same kind of thing allegedly happened but it didn't turn out so well for the gay kid. Wouldn't surprise me if it turns out that this kid was also sexually harassing the classmate who beat him up.

Outside of places like Chicago, Rockford, Naperville etc. Illinois pretty much resembles rural Iowa. Not southern, but incredibly country and highly conservative.

I lived in Southern Illinois for a time. I have no problem believing these quotes. You see Confederate flags all the time there.

 

[murgatroid]

You can tell that people really didn't like the kid that got punched in the head.

Notice that they act like the faggot kid is still in the ICU on life support and shit?

I'll bet that kid is an insufferable little bastard.

Probably like that key and peele sketch where the flaming gay tries to cram gay sex down his coworkers throat.

 

[Akumaten]

Fags (Sodomites in general) are the biggest bullies in existence. Don't give them any quarter.

 

[Unpaid Emotional Labourer]

Notice they said "classmates" and not "friends". I'm not going to make presuppositions, but I conjecture that this kid was pretty hated already. Not for being gay, but perhaps for being an ostentatious clown.

My understanding is that the basic high school gays have become emboldened, and because they know they’re untouchable priest classes (trumped only by troons and/or black women, depending), they sexually harass the cute normie guys.

So my first thought these days, when I see a normie high school guy stand up against them like this, or like when they tore down the flag in that one video, is that these are boys who are sick of homosexual harassment.

 

[Absolutetense]

We had a motherfucker like this at work. Always loudmouthing about this and that issue. One day he accidentally „fell down some stairs“ at least that’s what the official story was. Even one of his female „friends“ joined in on the fun to show him what we thought of him.
Nobody said a word and it was all good. He returned 2 times picked up his shit and left the company.
Everything went better than expected.
If your folks band together you can defeat the faggot.

 

[Cuckoman]

Good. Pray he will have lasting scars to remind him of when he was retard so he can concentrate on not being retard faggot going forward.

It really takes a lot of effort and exceptional faggotry to get the whole school to hate you. Let this be a lesson to improve social skills and become less of a faggot.

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

And then we get articles about how it's a moral duty to punch Nazis who bring the wrong flags to school. You can't win against these people by playing by the rules they set because they're not playing by the rules themselves. It's you vs them, anything you do is bad and will be used against you.

Something just occurred to me, what do you get when one half of a country hates the other half? You get the Myanmar genocide.

Is that what the government is trying to do to the United States?

This is my thinking too. He was probably already a little shithead, he finally pushed somebody too far and caught hands.

Sure the situation could be exactly like the article reports it to be, but given the state of journalism, how scant the article is on details, and the wording, I think it's pretty likely there's more to the story than what's being reported.
