    1. Three Ukrainian servicemen were wounded and received medical care from the Russians

    1. Students told KTLA the fight began after Riley asked the student to leave the class because he wasn't wearing the proper uniform. The boy refused, students said, and video taken by another student shows the boy shouting profanity and a racial slur at Riley, who is black.

      Even though the boy refused to leave the classroom, Mr.Riley should have called someone in to escort the kid out of his classroom instead of getting into his face. Even if the kid is being rude and disrespectful you have to be the adult and not by into that nonsense.

    2. standing face to face with a 14-year-old boy at the front of a classroom when Riley punches him.

    1. He also threatened the woman with violence: “I’ll tell you this,” the man told her. “If you don’t go to another seat, I’ll put you into another seat.”

      This bums me out knowing that the man was going to violently hurt the women if she didn't move just because she is different color.

    2. Another woman who appears to be the elderly woman’s daughter scolded the man for yelling at the woman and asked him to “give her a chance!”

      How long will he be in jail for?

      That is very unnecessary for someone to do that just because they were having bad behavior in the first lace and got kicked out.

    1. The student was eventually told to sit in the locker room hallway, away from other students, for the remainder of the drill.
