Disrespectful jackases. Surround and corner the guy? If it were me I would have run his punk azz over and said I fled in fear since I was surrounded and my vehicle assaulted.
Here's the difference: When I was a kid, we'd do the same thing, except we'd do it from a hiding spot, then run like hell if the guy stopped. Today there's a gang mentality. Everybody is brave as hell when the group they're in outnumbers the victim. It's much more cowardly that way. This wasn't a prank... It was taunting and bullying. There's a big difference.
i'm with anon 11:03. and the other difference is if we happened to have gotten caught by the person who's car we hit and they kicked out ass, it was accepted... we didn't call a lawyer. it was all part of the game. with college students like these, the future of this world is doomed
You are correct 12:14.It's best that these students get a taste of the legal system before they enter the workforce.Get them hooked up with a misdemeanor conviction for leverage purposes.It's a shame that something must be held over their heads to keep them in check,but it is what it is.
I'm 8:13, stand by my assessment, and agree with Imclain as well. It was assault. And the Professor did what he was supposed to do, teach. And the assault stopped, and everyone learned to be better persons.
So, how will costing everyone there a bunch of legal fees going to improve on that? It happened, people are sorry it did, and others watching the video see what people of character do, and learn as well.
Teach? Are you kidding me? Jeezus...How long has it been since you were a kid??? There's no lesson here - except for the lesson that some bleeding heart liberal says "kid will be kids". There is NO lesson without punishment. Period.

I'm seeing that the Prof and students settled it among themselves, and everybody went home a better person.
So, send in the SWAT team now?
You stupid bastions...

I'm with 8:04. Run over the jerk and claim self defense.
That wasn't a snowball fight. That was assault.
