A seventeen year old student punched a fifty one year old security guard at Vincent High School in Milwaukee after the guard told him to stop using his cell phone. The security guard was thrown to the ground and pummeled. A video appeared right after the incident:

Surprisingly, the vast majority of students sided with the security guard and made the following statements:
“This morning when I came to school, they was talking about it and I actually know the person who did it, and I heard his name and I’m like, is it a video?”
“And I got shown the video and when I seen it I said, ”that’s disrespectful”.
“I’m cool with him — but he gets no respect for doing something like that to a person like that. “
“He’s older. You can’t do that.”
“He was cool. He just stood in the corner, made sure you got to class.”
“He made sure we did what we was supposed to do.”
“It wasn’t like he was a security guard who started stuff with everybody.”
“You respect your elders. Nobody had any problems with him.”
The security guard was generally well liked at the school.
