Extremely sad story. It's currently not known what instigated the encounter, but last Friday in Missouri, the victim, Kaylee, and another girl got into a scuffle, during which she was thrown to the ground and had her head smashed into the concrete three times, all while a group of other students were watching and filming. She began having a seizure and was taken to the hospital. Her family is saying she suffered severe brain damage.

Her condition is critical - skull fractured, brain swollen and bleeding, frontal lobe damaged. Even if she manages to survive, her recovery will be incredibly arduous and costly. I pray to God she pulls through. If you're willing and able, consider donating to the GoFundMe set up to support her and her family: https://www.gofundme.com/f/kaylee-on-her-road-to-recovery

I won't post the video because frankly it's disturbing to watch. The unnamed girl who hospitalized Kaylee was taken into custody as a juvenile, but the Missouri Attorney General is pushing to have her tried as an adult and escalating the charge to homicide if Kaylee passes away.

I saw the video on reddit, really fucked up how kids think it's alright to smash someones skull off a pavement. All it takes is one punch and someone falling on concrete and hitting their head to destroy someones life and people know this.

So fuck knows why she thought it was acceptable.

This has been happening so much after we got back after the COVID remote learning. The parents and administration are on the side of the kids most times. In the past year alone, I know of several instances where kids have taken swings at not only each other, but the teachers too.

It’s like people lost control a couple of years ago.

Ugh, the narrative on this is already written. Hope the victim recovers because no one deserves this.

HazelwoodSD demanded school resource officers take a DEI training. The police sent a scorching letter refusing to participate in the DEI garbage. Hazelwood School District responded by PULLING ALL School Resource Officers! Hazelwood SD DOESN’T HAVE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS. Parents warned that removing SRO’s is a bad idea. A parent also said there are fights almost daily!

 

[SJRB]

Saw the video earlier, insane savagery. We should remove these people from society.

Whoops doesnt fit the narrative the media likes to spread... imagine if it was the other way around

At that age they don't. Remember that one kid that power slammed another a few years back or so? They don't fully understand the fragility of the human body.

 

[Arsic]

No acceptable reason to do this to anyone but I’m curious what caused her to go ballistic on this girl.

wtf are you two even talking about? What narrative are we supposed to be following here? Kids fight in and around schools every day. This dumb bitch went way over the line in smashing this girl’s head into the pavement over and over again. It’s awful, and she’s going to be locked up for a long time. That’s the narrative. What doesn’t fit?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

The impact noises honestly sent a chill down my spine. The black chick should EASILY get life for that. It's straight up murder.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Bashing someone's head on concrete like that is attempted murder full stop.

 

[Fbh]

Hopefully the aggressor gets tried as an adult.
At 15 you know what happens when you repeatedly smash someones head against concrete. This is straight up attempted murder

jason is probably lamenting the racial angle the reality of modern politics is going to make/has already made people take with cases like this, while joduan is among a group of people who have noticed an obvious pattern where the american media goes out of it's way to promote news stories where a black person is either actually or allegedly victimised by a white person, but comparatively go completely radio silent where the reverse is true, even in individual circumstances where the crime committed is much more serious in the latter than the former.

hope this helped!

Ah, got it. Despite the fact the report on the Uvalde shooting just came out and barely made a blip on anyone’s radar, despite it being about someone turning 19 children’s heads into pulp with an AR-15, we’re going to pretend this act of obscene violence is being suppressed because the perpetrator is black? Even though it’s been reported on?

Embarrassing.

 

[NeoGiffer]

No acceptable reason to do this to anyone but I’m curious what caused her to go ape shit on this girl.

 

[Arsic]

Fuck that’s not what I mean. It’s a figure of speech. “Going ballistic.” “Going mental.” “Going ape shit.”

She went crazy over the top. I’ll edit it.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Fuck me.

I grew up in a UK shithole area, and even there girls didn’t really fight. And as boys we’d fucken punch the shit out of each other, but once there was blood or someone had enough - it fucken ended at that moment.

Attempt murder is one of the hardest crimes to prove/prosecute.


Thats how it is in the UK anyway.

Probably she just resubbed to gamepass at full price.

 

[Kacho]

The sound of her skull cracking is disgusting. Lock that savage up for a long time.

You don't have to edit yourself, they're just having fun with your choice of words, nobody thinks you meant it to be nasty. That is what you call it when someone bashes someone's head on the floor, and it is brutal animalistic behavior, because we are animals.

 

[JayK47]

This is DEI. This is Critical Race Theory. Absolutely a hate crime.

 

[DetectiveBananas]

That video is gonna be hard for any jury to watch and not think poorly on the defendant. Hope she can recover but damn that was brutal !

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Awful to watch, chilling how composed she is after just bashing the girls head in, walking past as if nothing occurred.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Fuck me.

From personal experience sometimes after a fight we would even shake hands, victor or not. A bit of humbling can be a positive to learn from.

 

[Mistake]

You can clearly hear the girl's head bang against the concrete twice, and after she's left twitching. I wouldn't recommend watching if you're faint of heart
