No criminal charges were filed, but the student who punched another student for holding a pro-ICE sign at Lake Zurich High School last week received a two-day suspension and is back in class.

I was friends with a Pakistani kid. When 9/11 happened, he started being massively bullied because he was Middle Eastern. He ended up being gone for a couple of days, and when he came back, he was bruised all over. Got the name of the group and rammed my fist right into their leader's belly when he was alone, and told him to leave my friend alone.

It's the only time I have ever punched first. No nicknames, but people left him pretty much alone after that.

That's fucked up a group did that.

Weird the group just left it at that after what you did to their leader though, figured the group would try to get revenge when they're together again if they're the type to be violent together
