Police separated the group of women and threatened to arrest them if they didn't calm down.
"They jumped on my son, but yet you want to arrest me," complained one mother.
"Let us work it out, OK?" one HPD officer told the angry parents.
One mother of a student who was arrested ended up in handcuffs herself. |
And of course this is the problem right here. Adults don't even know how to behave, why the hell do they expect kids to? People quit growing up in this country it seems. So many parents these days are just adolescents with better jobs who have no business trying to be parents when they have the maturity levels of high school sophomores.

This is probably the saddest part of all. I bet alot of these Houston kids have conservative parents filling them with lies like "The refugees from New Orleans are the scum of the earth, just a bunch of bums and criminals milking the welfare system, if they couldn't get on the bus, they should have started walking!" And then the bus full of kids from New Orleans rolls in to spread the districts funds thinner, and the kids get pissed and are aggressive towards the evacuees. I'm also sure alot of the evacuees parents and kids are seeing the world through a strange filter because of all the racial tension that's been raised by this disaster. Alot of them may have some anti-white sentiments reinforced by this whole ordeal.
But of course this has to be a rift that causes physical altercations because neither side knows how to behave. It's absolutely ridiculous that a massive natural disaster is dividing the country up into sides instead of uniting us to help each other. When we aren't even compassionate towards natural disaster victims, something is terribly wrong.

So it's frustrating that someone who just got their entire city obliterated by a natural disaster takes priority over someone who has a home in the city they originally wanted to live in? Bullshit. Tell them I'll be happy to bulldoze their homes and relocate them to a city where they don't know anyone and leave them penniless. I doubt they will want to make that sacrifice to get on wellfare.
What ridiculousness!
