That was the day that 10 of these thug-kins grabbed David Parker’s 7 year old son, dragged him behind the corner of the school, well out of sight from the school officials, and proceeded to punch him in the groin, stomach, and chest, before he dropped to the ground when they then kicked and stomped on him. Several of the alleged thug-kins were children of the adults who had been protesting Parker, several of them – not even in the same class as Parker’s child. It also needs to be pointed out that May 17 was a targeted date because that is the anniversary of changing the marriage definitions in the state of Massachusetts to include homosexual unions. Emotions among many activists were running very high on this day.
The school district ‘investigated’ and did determine that the attack was pre-meditated. Shockingly they decided no punishment necessary for the 10 thug-kins who were serving as political hit men for the activists in Lexington.
All of this happening because one father wished to reserve the right to teach his own family’s faith-based views on sexuality.
Naturally, my problem with this isn’t the position of the perpetrators’ parents or the position of the seven-year old who was brutally attacked.
My problem with this is that (a) it happened and (b) no one in the major media felt in newsworthy, and (c) our lack of attention to such events makes future attacks and reprisals possible through silence.
If the roles were reversed, would it be news?
