A middle school student was attacked on a school bus for wearing a red ball cap with Donald Trump’s campaign promise to “Make America Great Again”.
Christina Cortina uploaded video on Instagram.com, showing three students attacking her 12-year-old son, Gavin, on a Parkway school bus.
The video shows Gavin being verbally assaulted by several students. Gavin is heard telling the students that President Trump is going to build a wall to keep illegal immigrants out.
Seconds later he is attacked by an older boy, but Gavin defended himself and bloodied the boy’s lip. “He hit me first,” Gavin is heard saying.
Gavin was later suspended from school for punching the student — who hit him first. Gavin, who is Hispanic, was attacked for simply exercising his free speech.
“As a parent it’s so upsetting,” said Gavin’s mother, Christina Cortina. “I feel like my son was made an example of, it was a tricky situation, it was politically charged”.
After reviewing video of the incident, a Parkway District spokesperson said the other students were also suspended.
The spokesman said school district officials plan to sit down with all three students to discuss the incident and reach a “peaceful understanding”.
Unfortunately, liberal snowflakes don’t want peace or understanding. They just want to have their way.
Republicans wasn’t protesting and beating people when obama won
Oh those dirty, filthy liberals!? Meanwhile the white man who threatened, and shot 5 Black protestors was found guilty on all 20+ charges. The monster Allen Scarsella shows no remorse as the charges were read. That savage probably knows that there’s still plenty of hope. His white privilege may ensure that he receives little to no time come sentencing?
a good feem, eediot white bwoy!
First of all he is too young to be worried about that shat anyway. His parents are to blame for that…. They should have known not to let him wear that political propaganda to school.
So this lady gonna turn this little incident into her own 15 minutes of fame huh
No, they were just in there blocking everything he tried to accomplish.
Gavin is heard telling the students that President Trump is going to build a wall to keep illegal immigrants out.
—————–
He needs to spend that time at home reflecting on what kind of life he plans to live. If his future success is dependent on the wall, there may not be much for him to look forward to.
Gavin… your parents tricked you.
Shame on those kids. You can’t beat a belief or value out of someone.
Maybe he should have kept his beliefs to himself while on the school bus. He wanted a reaction and he got one.
I have no sympathy for parents like this, The parent knew what the possible reaction could be to her son wearing that hat and she allowed him to wear without her present.
Sounds like a grown woman on the bus inciting violence, probably their teacher.
Gavin, who is Hispanic, was attacked for simply exercising his parent’s free speech.

Fixed that for ya. 12 year Olds know nothing about politics
That reminds me of the 1st season of American Crime. The Mexican daddy was hating on his relatives that were illegals, felt he was special. But it was his legal son in jail and him doorter wanted to be with the illegal relatives
Excuse me they were, they formed a whole Tea Party after he got elected. How quickly we forget those protest. Hell they elected the new guy as a protest because they surely can’t deep down inside believe he’s capable.
His parents are teaching him his White Privilege, and his peers are teaching him that this is not 1950. These kids in his age group will never peacefully submit to overt white male privilege, it’s good he has hands, he’s going to need them.
Listen I tell my child if someone hit her make sure them karate training go into full effect. Let mofos understand themselves so next time around they’ll know she ain’t the one.
Gavin’s mother, Christina Cortina. “I feel like my son was made an example of, it was a tricky situation, it was politically charged”.
———-
He was. By you. The mother made him the example. Protect kids. They are not political ponds
Christina Cortina (As a Hispanic woman, should have advised Gavin against wearing that hat and to STFU about the wall.)
That’s why dump getting a taste of what Obama had to deal with child everything getting blocked and shut down. I bet it don’t feel so good ??
That’s why I wish Democrats wouldn’t boycott things. Show up and block it like the Republicans did Obama
I said that too. This Christina fault
Kids tease each other over clothes, looks, skin color and all sorts of things on school buses all the time and it often leads to fights. I believe he was purposely being provocative. His mother tagged Milo in her post, that tells you right there what she is teaching her son. Now she wants a pity part.
Chile the boy isn’t even old enough to vote so why wear the hat?
Your momma set you up. She knew perfectly well what would happen.
And who the hell does the black boy belong to? His folks need to make him take that damn hat off he got on and stop showing his back teeth. I bet they are Patriots fans.
I remember all “my president” shirts middle schoolers were wearing 8 years ago. It was all good then wasn’t it hypocrites ?
LMAO!
But he’s Hispanic
White privilege is not always taught. It is a birth right. One he has no claims to. He is Hispanic.
Money says his Mom was trying and did prove a point. Does it change anything ? No. Those who attacked this kid are just as accountable.
Was they beating the hell out of Dems or was they beating the hell out of black because they wore obama shirts? People sure are getting beat for wear trump shirts
He’s Hispanic noodle brain.
The only people who will blame this child for getting beat up will be the the very “intolerant Alt-Left crazies”….Free Speech to them is “anything they agree with”….
No one should begetting beat up based on having a different view…. This kind of discourse was encourage by 0bama and his brand of Democratic crazies…
Congrats to my birth city of Boston on winning the Superbowl!
I think that’s the way politics work the dems trying to block all republicans policy’s also
Yep!! She tagged everybody and they momma in that post. Smh!?
So was George Zimmerman.
What is a liberal snowflake???
I’m tired of this whole craziness about politics. This is becoming straight up stupidity. Also, no political party is better than the next. It is about how you live your day to day life and how you treat yourself and others. People are to invested.
What the hell does this situation have to do with so called “snowflakes”?
How did he get in this???? If it’s “white/Hispanic privilege” that’s not the case. His family has ties to the court system (his dad was/is a judge). Daddy probably used up EVERY favor he had. And I bet they not letting him live it down either
They sure wasn’t but I promise you these Alt-Left fools will come up with “their own version of the truth”…They are sick in the head.They excuse anything they do….
How soon they forget..
“Congrats to my birth city of Boston on winning the Superbowl!”
This explains so much about your stance. Per downstairs you may be a self hating coon for this. In the words of @Jenie, stay passionate.
This kind of discourse was encourage by 0bama and his brand of Democratic crazies…

Lol. How Sway? #AlternativeFacts
LOL….They call me all kinds of names here but I know that it come from a place of ignorance…
I will most def fly to the spot this week for the parade….
Hispanic is an origin not a race Blockhead.
The My President shirts weren’t referencing a white supremacist. So yeah, everything was gravy?
I’m assuming you are an adult? Why do you people not know that “Hispanic” is not a race?
Yes they were. AND they were killing each other and their families. Please check your #AlternativeFacts
There is truth and there is lies…So go bye bye with that alternative facts nonsense…I am the truth and lies like you can’t deal.
You guys still on about that crap ?
You are a racist.
Congrats to my birth city of Boston on winning the Superbowl!

WTF? His·pan·ic
hi?spanik/
adjective
1.
relating to Spain or to Spanish-speaking countries, especially those of Latin America.
noun
2. a Spanish-speaking person living in the US, especially one of Latin American descent.
“You can’t beat a belief or value out of someone.” Master tried to beat the African traditions out of our ancestors. Our beliefs. OUR RELIGION. I urge you to watch ‘Roots” this Black History Month. Queen has already been on so I know “Roots” is coming. If you have missed it then take a look and read a damn book. Reading Rainbow. Who the real life host actually plays an iconic character in “Roots” The blog wants a book report on the part when they beat the NAME outta Kunta Kinte okay?
The “my president” reference was racist in itself. Can’t you understand ?
So what is his race then ?
I was gonna say a Mexican wetback but Hispanic sounded so much more politically correct. Dont you agree?
a Spanish-speaking person living in the US, especially one of Latin American descent.
You can’t tell the difference between a origin, nationality, or a race so I have serious doubts in your ability to tell if I am racist or not. Do me a favor and locate Spain on a map.
What is the race of Hispanic?
The U.S. Census Bureau defines the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino to refer to “a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race” and states that Hispanics or Latinos can be of any race, any ancestry, any ethnicity.
Gavin, who is Hispanic, ….
———-
Write Sandra not me! She didn’t state what region he is from!
Oh I agree with them. But you hold steady to your beliefs.
Is that Sandra’s adopted son on the left?
I have been there so I think I can handle it. You made the racist comment. I didn’t.
I’m with u on everything u said! I really need people to stop being dumb assess and stop putting their hands on other people just bcuz they don’t agree with what they agree with and just LIVE!
I thought Gavin was Jewish!
She put her child in that situation just to prove a point. And it just “happened” to get filmed ? Somebody call social services. I need an investigation of this child’s home situation.
Im still going with he Mexican since his lil ass was so well versed on the wall.
I see protest all these beating folks up, I don’t see and if it has happened its few and far between and its usually in response to some smart shit. I bet this kid got popped after he said Trump was going to build a wall!
Obama stood for ALL
Trump stands for himself….
#Differences
???
whoa, whoa, whoa.. I’m a Pats fan.. Have been for a very long time… lol
A snowflake is a typical liberal who tramples on the rights of others while whining about intolerance.
The article says he is “Hispanic”. Even if he is “Mexican” I would ask you to look up a “Mexican” reading a DNA test on youtube. It will NEVER come up “Mexican”. That child’s mother was teaching him White privilege in my opinion, now how much European DNA to Native DNA he has is up in the air. If he is not a little white boy he is certainly being taught that he has the privileges of one and again his mother tagged Milo, a white supremacists.
Yasssssssssssssssssss #PATSNATION
Come through, sensibility.
Well you tell Sandra to correct her article then. Call him chewbacca for all I care. You’re free to make your ASSumptions
Obama campaigned that he stood for ALL. That wasn’t quite accurate.
You realize there are Latinos who identify as white, don’t you? There is no need for name calling.
Did I make a comment indicating that I hate an entire group of people based on their race and then use my hatred to hinder them in some way from the pursuit of happiness? FYI Discussing institutional racism doesn’t make you racist any more than reading a cake recipe out loud will make you fat.
Europe! You better come through and use the example I was JUST about to give. Spaniyards identify as WHITE aka European.
Caucasians ? Lol, come on folks ! You knew what she was getting at with that “white privy” crap !
Who is the real MVP of this thread?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cc24b2ba8195e498069206441be1bdd6728d98a5ec00bff5f328b7c69d2e8fe4.jpg
Why should I correct my post? He is Hispanic. I’m sorry I don’t know what part of Latin America he is from. Why does it matter?
It does if you buy into a totality for “white privilege”.
Feel free to read any application that requests a person identify themselves by their race, then feel free to return with an apology for @Empress.
Indeed….Pat Nation right here! My father turned 49 yesterday so it was a “good day”.
The reason I noted he is Hispanic is to show he is not racist; he is from Latin America, maybe Mexico. But that point sailed right over your heads.
My guess is she can’t pay for his self defence classes like
Karate or Taekwando so this would be an #alternativeoption
Damn she smart! Saving herself all those coins…
The article is fine to me. @Whatever seems offended that he’s being called Hispanic. I have no clue why
No not me. I am fine with Hispanic.
These people get on my nerves with their sensibilities. Just because dialogue about racism makes them uncomfortable they are always trying to stifle it. I see the game plan of this Uncivil Rights movement that Trump is heading in America, trying to turn the victim into the perp, and the perp into the victim. I’m not having it.
Gavin’s mama need to catch some hands too. For even putting her son in that position IMO
Eat “my ass”? Understand that??
No I am fine with it. I think Hispanic is general and broad enough for anyone who falls under the catergory as outlined by the U.S. Census Bureau.
What did you do in Spain? It sounds like a waste if you didn’t notice that the people are European. Were you detained in the airport?
I have seen the way adults wearing this hat have been treated so I would have to explain to my kid that he can’t wear this hat. If he wants to wear it around the house, thats fine but I wouldn’t want my kid being attacked because of a hat…it may seem unfair but protecting my kid is my first priority.
I would never ever try to prove a point through my child’s safety..
Oh I know you agree with them but I don’t care….LMAO!
nephew.
If he wants to wear it around the house, thats fine
——————————————
Nope, that hat does not belong in MY house is what I’d tell my son….She endorsing his ass beating…
You’re right. I idn’t mean to give you that charge. It’s Empress not you. I corrected my comment
I’m MORE convinced than EVER that people HAVE LOST THEIR EVER LOVING MINDS …WHY are children involved with politics ? and why are people getting suspended for protecting themselves but bullies roam the world free … if the mother sent her child to school like that then she is equally responsible … what ever happened to a CHILD’ S PLACE
This post is bringing me way down… I’m going to King Ribs and get ribs and potato salad, a bottle of wine, and a good movie with a young William Hurt in it and enjoy my evening….
Good night Roses!
Loves …. lol
I think calling him Hispanic and disputing it as white priv. is the issue. Which SHOULD be renamed US American Caucasian priv. Alabaster priv. IDK. Bc even if the white Spaniards, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, etc. THINK they have some sort of priv. over in whatever country they hail from, they bring their asses HERE and they are, immigrants. Nothing more or less. They can identify with whatever they want to in their own mind, in their own country. The white Cubans and the darker hued ones all are Cubans once they get here. Which is lumped into what group? Hispanic. We could care LESS about their classism, in the case of Indians their caste system, etc.
On the right
I never said he couldn’t be “Hispanic”. It’s just well known that Hispanic is origin, language, culture and does not indicate race. So I am lost as to why it’s not clear that the mother is teaching him to enjoy his white privilege to taunt peers and that instigated the entire incident. Which she now will get on the conservative shows and make some coins off(more white privilege)
There are so many personal attacks being directed at commenters by complete strangers re: any topic that isn’t vapid. I suppose if folks go to sleep dumb, they’re going to wake up stupid. Lol
She knew or had a pretty good idea what wearing that hat means, so she should feel responsible for her son being attacked.
I guarantee you Gavin has a father figure in his life who taught him how to fight and not to back down from bullies.
HEY Sandy….If YOUR president stopped inciting violence maybe there would be less
So it we use the same logic do we tell our kids not to wear hoodies
Is this post about hoodies or a trump hat?
No they were just beating up innocent people at Trump rallies before he was even named the Republican nominee.
Talk shyt get hit.
Most of us wouldn’t. Have I wanted , at times, to choke that crap out of that kid that bullied my daughter for my Trump yard sign ? Yes.
BAM!!!!!
Damn he popped ol boy lip bad he was expecting that lol don’t ever sleep on ANYONE when it’s time to scrap.
“Dont let your president get you flucked up.”
Lol, olive colored skin abounds. I ate, drank and facked a lot while in Spain. What else..
Yep. Glad you agree.
This Native Caucasian will not apologize to anyone who drops the “wp” bombs.
lol
No one asked what you are and no one cares. You’re a troll, and not one of the cute Trolls with the big hair, either.
Yeah, why do I feel “attention seeking” after reading his mom’s comments. I bet she had her son test the “liberals” with Spanchat in hand ?
Exactly!
What is a “Native Caucasian”?
Well his friends will probably be broke or in jail so…
“But now the word “snowflake” has taken on a new meaning in our language, one used by conservatives to mock and disparage young people. It is used to cast a slur on those who are perceived to be overly sensitive or who need to be coddled. For example, the college students who wept after hearing the results of the presidential election.”
https://bangordailynews.com/2016/12/04/opinion/contributors/lets-not-disparage-the-liberal-snowflake-who-has-his-way/?ref=moreInopinionThumb
And that dude got popped lol
That’s a cheese sammich with mater and mustard.
So you are a “sammich”?
I have comments here that prove that I am not a troll. I took offense to a comment.
Lol
Might as well be.
Ok. Well you be blessed.
Classic. Love it. Trumpettes always trying to deflect.
Thank you for the blessing.
I wish somebody would try to touch my “Make America Great again” cap…LMAO
His hands simply exercised their right to slap his face.
His hands simply exercised their right to slap his face.
She saved herself from an ass whooping.
It’s okay when somebody touches somebody about Trump but if it would have been about Obama and somebody got maxed everyone would be saying racism…
Clown
and yet none of these kids even know what the hell they are talking about, they are just repeating the things that they have heard adults say…..which is why grown up conversations should not be held in front of children
Clown….
Dumb azz mother set him up, someone needs to bloody her lip.
No 12 year old is that interested in politics that he would wear a cap with political slogans on it. The mother put him up to this. Despicable.
The parents force their kids to grow up too quick. Saw at a daycare a kid with a hat “we are all immigrants”…. Why can’t kids be kids? Parents it is YOUR job to protect your kids and make sure they are happy.
This got to stop
Very
Yep, guarantee she’s going to be filing a lawsuit in 5-4-3-2-??
Furthermore, instead of the mother attempting to break up the physical altercation, you sit your sorry a$$ back and record?! Just dumb! Some1should be contacting CPS on her a$$.
Awwwww they are so young and so cute. Let’s play a game. Now the black child on the left leaves the community, goes to college, gets a degree and doesn’t even have a traffic ticket, while the white child on the left stop going to school in the 9th and 1/2 grade and kills his mom. They both go on a job interview that requires a college degree/no criminal record on the same day which one gets the job. You have 5 minutes to guess the right answer.
If his mother knew he was wearing that hat to school, she needs to be investigated for child endangerment.
I saw this guy wearing a Trump hat at the gym last week.
He really needs to bulk up before he tries to be da man.
Somebody needs to tell that coon in training that he’s not white and he will NEVER be white like his little friend.
You seemed pressed.
You must have watched Chump’s I mean Trump’s Fox Super Bowl interview.
Praytell why would that be?
Wearing that hat has nothing to do with his education. However, he should not be attacked by anyone. I don’t believe in putting my hands on people because I disagree. Because we would NOT like it if someone hit our child for wearing an Obama Yes We Can t-shirt. NOT Cool.
Trump and his followers are snowflakes.
Trump hasn’t tweeted about the most recent episode of SNL.
I guess they took his twitter away from him or he was too busy with the game yesterday and hasn’t watched it yet.
His Mom’s profile pic kinda Thotish
ES: This kind of discourse was encourage by 0bama and his brand of Democratic crazies…
Yeah those police officers attacking Civil Rights protesters with dogs and fire hoses during the 60’s were following Obama’s orders.
You’re about as loony as Trump but now we know why he is the way he is besides his father having dementia.
From looking at your upvotes I see what your other log-ins are.
You are probably some poor Russian who gets paid to post on heavily black websites.
Only thing pressed over here is my outfit. That’s just ridiculous. They have the right to defend themselves too.
No one said he didn’t but the mother should not have made him wear that cap.
What she did was akin to child abuse knowing how high political tensions are these days.
Even though love politics I have never ever put a bumper sticker on any of my vehicles or worn clothing that would identify my political affiliation because you just don’t know who’s crazy enough to damage your vehicle or assault you just because you expressed your political beliefs.
BECAUSE he’s white!
??? #RealTears
I think, you and I must never part…
In my Whoopie voice “beat him”.
He should not be bullied for having conservative politics. He’s a child and his mother is right to speak up. Just like a child should not be bullied for having liberal politics, but these days, if we are all honest in assessment, it’s liberals doing the bullying which is contrary to liberal ideal of freedom.
They wouldn’t allow BLM tshirts/hats in school or in several professional organizations so what’s the difference?! Where was your outrage then?! Ignorant as.
With tensions running so high would any parent let their kid wear something that could incite confrontation. Not saying he should have been attacked but that was not good thinking on mom’s part…my child wouldn’t be wearing anything controversial if I’m not there to keep an eye on them and lay hands.
He is racist and actually thought he would get away with his racist tone.
Violence is never the answer. That being said, the parents are ignorant trash for letting their child wear a symbol of a racist, misogynistic cretin. Gee, I wonder if they were outraged when children during and after trump’s campaign were getting attacked physically and verbally.
Probably a Hispanic LOL
So if I comment on one very important part of racism that makes me a racist? So Mandela was a racist because he fought White Privilege and it almost cost him his life? Should he have just ignored White privilege so that one day in the future you would feel more comfortable on social media platforms? Pointing out racism doesn’t make anyone racist. What does it make you to seek to consume Black culture while ignoring the real life experiences of the people who create it?
DWL
I don’t promote violence for free speech because it can definitely work both ways…. Who is to say what people can and cant support. You are out of line the moment you put your hands on someone. A person has the right to defend themselves from violence. Now I know a lot of NRA gun toting registered and loving America Americans. They better be careful who they run up on because everyone dont believe in turn the other cheek. Liberals nut cases are getting carried away reminding me of the Tea Party or those Bush nuts after 911.
No I didnt. I missed it but I like his brutal honesty I will check it out on Youtube.
Sloth quit trolling.
Don’t misquote me, I was not “offended that he is Hispanic. I just don’t see how that means he is not “White” or how it implies that he cannot be “White”. You are the ones saying “But he’s Hispanic LOL” in response to White Privilege. And you admit having “no clue” even though a quick read on the thread or a google search of “White Hispanics” would easily show you what was going on. Ya’ll choosing to be Clueless, the Stacey Dash in ya’ll is strong today.

Any type of clothing that bears political phrases/images should be banned from all school campuses, college level included. People are too sensitive nowadays.
Just making sure you know what you are, no troll here.
I feel like they put their child in that situation to have a reason to speak out about something or be the victim or go viral why would you allow your child to wear that politics are not for children further why was he saying anything about a wall being built? Was he trying to get others upset? It’s to the point where kids are mimicking their parents and soon everybody ass gone get whooped behind folks being ignorant
Great point – they were counting on something happening so that they could cry wolf to fox news, breitbart and the rest of the third-tier garbage sites.
Liberals are the most unaccepting, selfish and dangerous group of so-called people. It’s their way or no way.
Now you know this is some sick shit when kids start fighting over political matters. When I was 12, there was no way in the world I would’ve been interested or concerned for that matter regarding politics. Wow just wow
Hispanics are racist to black people in their countries. You think that magically changes once they’re in America?
Not true. There are 12 year olds graduating high school. Many suburban and rural 12 year olds have political party affiliated views and values.
While I don’t agree with President Trump… I think bullying a child for wearing a hat that does support the president is wrong… I wouldn’t expect to be bullied for wearing an Obama hat… Just because they don’t agree doesn’t give these kids the right to be abusive to another child…
“This is what some of you so-called “loving” and “tolerant” liberals”
One problem is that they keep throwing around this liberal label, no. we heard your ignorant sayings and if you come around the wrong people you will catch these hands
Brutal honesty?
There’s nothing ‘honest’ about Don the Con.
Trump belittles and insults people when he disagrees with them because he doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to make a counter-argument.
You sound like another delusional poster. Oh I see she liked your comment.
But you and Elevated Soul are probably the same person.
The child wore a baseball cap with a presidential slogan. Agree or not agree with the slogan, just ignore it, exhibit and teach self control and tolerance and go about the day without assaulting a fellow student.
BLM is a grassroots fringe political movement not a sitting president.
They more than likely set this all up for attention… wear the hat, pull out the cell to film you say things that get people riled up then watch what happens… I don’t care. Kids have been severely attacked for just being themselves and their attackers walk away with no punishment. I don’t care about this story
So white hispanics are cool with them building a wall to keep their brown cousins out. Sorry he wore that hat to Troll, glad he could hold his own though.
White privilege is a blanket statement that really only applies to the 1 %. To even think that ALL whites have privilege is stupid.
who posts videos of their children in this type of situation? SMH. talk about millennial being screwed….
Bravo…..Your President caused you to get an asssss whipping and a suspension
The parents should keep the politics out school. Not condoning violence but this is what strump is all about. Have the people against each other. Separating americans
Your right! I would much rather keep that outta schools and bring back prayer.
yes
Exactly!!
It’s sad that the negative rhetoric from this entire election has spilled over into our schools. For the first time ever some parents are being forced into conversation with their children about politics, acceptance and intolerance. Alot of kids probably didn’t realize just how different they were until a few weeks ago. Truth is up until recently we celebrated individuality, uniqueness and differences. Wow… Making America great again seems to come at a steep price!!
Sloth go find a bridge to sleep under…
Its nothing honest about the Democratic party but I see they still have members.
Ha, ha, ha.
You can’t deny that your Cheeto Jesus is a fraud like you, Elevated Soul.
trolling much…
No you’re the troll.
I made a statement and instead of answering or at least defending you decided to deflect.
Go away, Elevated Soul or is Chick Pea or Aries Sun or whatever handle you’re using today.
“This is a video of my 12 year old son taken from another child Snapchat. ” is written under the vid
Moms taking videos while her son getting “attacked” ?
Truuue….
Don’t really care what the white one does, but the black one should know better!
