The epidemic of violent crime that’s been raging on the streets of New York City has spread to the schools as a shocking video of a mob of kids on a “gifted and talented” bus brutalizing a fellow student has gone viral.
In the disturbing footage that was captured onboard the MTA bus that transports students from Mark Twain IS 239 for the Gifted and Talented in Coney Island to the subway station, the victim is repeatedly pummeled in vicious fashion.
The student is seen desperately trying to protect himself as taunts and blows rain down on him as he makes his way down the bus aisle, he’s also kicked and at one point, has a sneaker tossed at him by the young thugs, most of who seem to have one thing in common.
No arrests were made of these supposedly “gifted and talented” students. Why is that? pic.twitter.com/QNKlSEyOcG

Some of the other kids onboard the bus are seen recording the brutal incident on their smartphones and at no point in the footage does an adult intervene to stop the beating.
On Monday, police set up shop in two of the school’s classrooms to investigate and to make arrests” the New York Post reported, citing sources. Eight students were reportedly arrested.
In a shot of two kids in cuffs that was posted to social media, one user said that the victim was a “f**king weirdo” who “shoulda died.”
The brutality of the video sparked outrage for users on X, the platform previously known as Twitter.
Isn’t Mark Twain considered a school for the gifted and talented? Are these the students?

Nothing will happen to them. I’m sure the white kid getting beat that was the problem right? If the roles were reversed and it was white children beating a black boy – the outcry would have been huge. But it’s a white kid, so it’s okay. So disgusting.

Beating of a white child is tolerated by the system.
It sends a message to other whites that if they have children they will be subjected to this abuse.

What was the driver doing? Did the bus stop? Did any adults get involved?

All these talented good boys are simply misunderstood.

It’s not for gifted and talented anymore. They put in regular hoodlums there because of inclusion.

Every one of them needs to be sentenced. They need to be kicked out of school and sent back to the hood.

“This is why we need safe corridors. We need police officers on buses, not just trains. Last Friday, a Mark Twain student was brutally beaten on the bus. Yesterday, 8 students from Mark Twain were arrested in school for the assault,” the NYC School Safety Coalition said on X in a post sharing the video.
