45-Year-Old Man Beaten Up By High Schoolers After Allegedly Attacking Them During ICE Walkout

[douglas9]

A 45-year-old man has been charged with two counts of assault after getting into a fistfight with a group of Texas teenagers who were protesting Immigration Customs and Enforcement.

On Monday, as the group of high schoolers carried signs and walked out of school in Buda to protest ICE, a man in his truck began arguing with them, in an incident that devolved into a physical brawl, based on video from a bystander.

The video of the altercation shows the man, identified by police as Chad Michael Watts of Kyle, Texas, with his arm raised over a girl on the ground as other teenagers run to pull him off of her. The group of high schoolers tackle and hit Watts as he fights back, before retreating to his truck.

A “difference of opinion on the immigration issue” led to the initial argument, Buda Police officer Matt Schima told CBS Austin.

Sue him for a host of offenses and he spends a few years thinking about it while sitting in a prison cell.

3. What?

"Allegedly attacking them?"

"45-year-old man beaten up By High Schoolers?"

"An incident that devolved into a physical brawl?"

The man got out of his truck and attacked teen age girls. The teens fought back and ran him off.

That article is awful.

5. A "difference of opinion on the immigration issue"

In the same sense that a "difference of opinion" over slavery was the reason for the Civil War.

6. "A difference of opinion?" Bwahahahaha!

Diplomacy taken to a new height

[get the red out]

7. MAGA cowards

They always go after women and girls first. I guess he didn't suspect that students would pile on to rescue her and it would end up with one of the boys getting him in a head-lock.
