  1. It's illegal to discipline your kids today so what did they expect was going to happen.

  2. This is what happens when you get single moms and absent fathers

  3. Bahaha hohoho. Hehehehe hahahaha!

  4. Maybe people start raising their kids

  5. Soooo do they not have police?

  6. Jail time for the charged students. Big boy jail not juvenile detention.

  7. Dude put the parents in jail . That simple

  8. We are sending the army on our kids? The US is beyond a failed state.

  9. Terrible idea, teachers need the authority to get control of the school its getting out of hand

  10. Usual suspects making school unbearable

  11. We didnt parent our kids so please do it for us.

  12. If the national guard needs to come to a school where children are trying to get an education, to help stop violence…might be time to pull your children out and homeschool until they resolve the problem.

  13. If those videos weren't blurred I'm sure that there would be more diversity than a Disney movie.

  14. As a former teacher, you have to treat high school like prison. Security cameras with audio need to be in every classrooms and hallways. Because without evidence parents or guardians will always defend their misbehaving kids then claim they are great parents.

  15. No – the Guard isn't there for you to use like some tool to mend issues such as these. This is the result of failed leadership within the district and failed parenting at home. Fix it yourselves. Guardsmen don't enlist to nanny your unruly kids. We're already used far too often by the Army as is as an easy "get out of jail free" card.

  16. All these kids had a pops who went out for a pack of Newport’s and an ole parking lot dice game only to never return. This is sad but true 😪

  17. National guard please you need parents dicapline there kid

  18. lol that's a embarrassing failure by the parents, the school itself, and the community as a whole for it to get that bad .

  19. how did gen alpha go from cocomelon to having the military called in on them because they can't behave at school?

  20. School zones, war zones… what's the difference. 💪😎✌️ You have to expect that v10lenc3 is the main event for humanity. Education isn't important. Only kn1v3s, güπ§, wrestling, g@πg$, GTA, money, gat§, and all that jazz. Books and studying are for pú$$1€§. #MURICA! ⚔️🇱🇷⚔️

  21. EVERY TIME WE BRING DIVERISTY THEY CAUSE NOTHING BUT VIOLENCE!!!!

  22. Some of what we are seeing may be due to fatherless kiddos.

  23. Welp, homeschooling looks easier and cheaper. 🤡

  24. Anything is better than nothing. Send them in.

  25. I had to check the demographics of Brockton. Confirms my suspicion. Typical suspects.

  26. Parents are losers so their kids are losers. What do you expect? This should be done in the entire country. And people should be limited in their abilities to have kids unchecked and that they can’t take care of.

  27. This is what happens when you keep voting democrats 😂

  28. Get rid of the gangs in school and you will have a good outcome
