School fight / attempted murder

[cookiemdough]

At what point and to what extent do legal charges come into play in school altercations? It seems that the victim is stable now but was in bad shape when rushed to the hospital.

I think this kid was assaulted given the seriousness of the fight. Not sure an attempted murder charge as an adult is where I would place this. But then again if it was my son that was injured...

My God, that was brutal.

Was that really a "fight"?? It looks like the kid just pulled the other kid off the bench and started pummeling him out of nowhere.

I am too scared to read the details, and the first two reactions are making me even more fearful.

I don't know how much intent plays into charges. I hope he wasn't actually trying to kill the guy.

I don't know the answer to the "at what point" question. I feel like it's a "you know when you see it" sort of thing. I'm not watching that video, though. I trust the reactions of you ladies.
