Two young thugs take turns viciously assaulting a 17-year-old white boy on a school bus on Monday in the southwestern Illinois city of Belleville while other students on the bus cheered them on.

Belleville police took the two punks, ages 14 and 15, into custody yesterday at the high school they attended. Police Capt. Don Sax said the video made it clear to him that the attacks were racially motivated. No charges have been announced.

It’s hard to believe we have a half-black president in the White House. I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same.
