My daughter can beat up your daughter

just to stir the pot....

how many guys on this board had that dad who would march your butt back to the park where the bully picked on you, then made you whup up on him?

time wasn't so long ago that was considered good parenting.

the world has moved on. in some ways that makes me sad.

Well, here's yet another modern story featuring no horse sense, only horse's ****.

Notice there's no mention of any dads around? In my experience, the only thing that solidly correlated with criminal behavior was the absence of one or both parents. No slam on single parents - I myself was one for awhile - but one or both parents not being around and not doing their jobs is a predictor for future trouble.

Of course here, the trouble is here and now...

Where were the school authorities? Sounds as if this simmered for awhile with some outbursts. Is there now a participant minimum of 4 before a fight draws sanctions?

Here, too, if where a good sifu or sensei could have made a difference for all of these misguided individuals. Some of you good teachers out there are real heroes - even though there's no media attention for fights that do not happen.
