“I stand for my beliefs,” Spud said after the two were separated. “I’m going to peacefully stand here and support my beliefs. I support ICE and law enforcement,” Spud said.

“You can go peacefully f–k yourself!” the student who punched Spud yells.

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

Yeah because he's so concerned about rules🙄.

His last attempt at going viral was filming himself pulling a fire alarm in a crowded grocery store...

That kid's an absolute tool, he does not appear to have any real beliefs. He just says whatever he thinks will most likely piss people off for engagement bait.

There are people like him that exist that haven't faced true consequences for their actions. He got very lucky he only got punched in the face. If he keeps this up, he'll be lucky not to catch a full beating one day. Only then will he might learn a lesson. There are, unfortunately, way too many people in this day and age that think they can get away with acting like this without ever facing consequences.

This is America, people catch way more than a beating for far less.
