Bullies Are Protected in the Indiana School System


Bully behavior modification tool

Indianapolis, IN—Darnell “Dynasty” Young is an effeminate, African-American 17 year-old homosexual and a high school student.   The bullies have singled him out for repeated attacks at the Arsenal Technical High School
The school’s official’s pathetic response has been along the lines of he should expect the abuse because of his mannerisms and apparent feminine attire.    
After ten reported incidents of violence or threats and no action by school officials or police, his mother Chelisa Grimes sent her son to school with an electronic stun gun for self-defense.  
The expected happened and another attack was attempted and the boy refused to be a victim and brandished the stun gun.  For one thing, that assault ended and for another nobody got a jolt of juice they deserved.   That was obviously a win-win situation. 
School officials now feel the need to take action against the intended victim!  The stun gun in and of itself is a non-lethal defensive device.   What’s the big deal?  They now want to crucify the kid because he had to rely on self-help.  Apparently the lad’s antagonists have immunity for their criminal behavior.
I will be the first to admit the lad different and that had he left his sexual preference in the closet perhaps he’s have not had these problems.  However he has a right be what and who he is without being victimized by anyone. 
Every American should stand up for the right of this kid to protect himself from bullies.  They should also demand the ouster of any school officials that did not summon the police over the earlier attacks.   
As for Darnell Young they must either protect him or return his stun gun.  Frankly I’d rather see that stun gun used on the school officials that facilitated and abetted the bullies.
We have to begin to get tough on the bullies while we still can.   Rather than zero tolerance for the badly needed stun gun, they should have zero tolerance for the bullies. 
If you can’t take steps to protect this kid who will protect yours?
