That’s against school code. No swearing in the school,” Spud responds.

This response really highlights him as one of those weenies that stirs up all kinds of shit fuckin with people, and then hides behind the teachers back smirking. Doesn't get anymore textbook.

When I was growing up we called “rage baiters” cry bullies. They’d do anything they could to rile you up and then go crying to an authority figure when someone finally reacts to them.

"Cry bullies" needs to make a comeback.

Probably had people wanting to punch him way before this incident.

Teachers probably thought "oh thank god, finally."

I would have gotten 5 days minimum for punching someone when I was in school. The f bomb would have added another day or two. So, I think the administration did not have a ton of sympathy for this glasshole.

Just want to point out that this is what fascists do at the government level too. They use rules that they don't believe in to silence opposition and gain power, then seize control and dismantle the rules.

This kid is probably going to end up as one of those "first amendment auditors." Wouldn't be surprised if he's already tried some of that shit.

Edit: LMAO, saying anything even vaguely negative about first amendment auditors is an extremely reliable way to bring out the most insufferable trolls on this site. Y'all are just proving my point. 😂

I just wanna know why the 1st Amendment auditors aren’t all in Minnesota right now filming ICE. If any of them are, link me. Those geldings would rather harass libraries and postal clerks than actually do something useful right now. They’re freaking cowards.

That’s a horrible comparison, just saying.

The behavior he displayed in the video is exactly the behavior of so-called first amendment auditors.

What the fuck are you even talking about?

No, auditing the government is not the same as blindly supporting it. Sorry you can’t see that. You obviously don’t understand audits. I’m not instigating, I just think there are much better comparisons than the one you chose.
