Sometimes one could be very sure of something but explaining the whole picture and/or some fundamental level make explaining why a time consuming task to do. Explaining why I see that the recent video of the school bus beating in Florida is more probably a fake show than a real event does not seem to require that kind of effort. So why not balance some of the assumption of objectivity with a showing of objectivity?
Hear are some of the things that why I think that video is more probably a fake show than a real event :
1- The shouting of the driver "leave the boy alone" did not sound like a shouting of someone watching a real event.
2-The beginning of the attack happened in away as if it was intended for the boy being beaten to hide from vision behind the seat as soon as possible.
3-The shouting of the boy close to the end of that beating did not fit with that of someone suffering such vicious beating ,or even any real beating at all, and was as if someone trying to compensate the lack of an image with a voice.
4-The reactions from other boys in the bus in general did not seem to fit with that of someone looking at that event as a real fight.
5-The injuries mentioned do not seem to be enough for the severity of the beating shown
6-The injuries mentioned resulting from that beating (two black eyes and a fractured or broken bone) do not seem to fit well with the position the attacked boy took. When an attacked person goes down trying to take a defensive position as that video seems to be suggesting then the normal defensive position seems to be to protect the head using the arms so why would he suffer two black eyes? Why only one fractured or broken bone and less injuries to the body comparison with the head in general? How could all that kicking lead to more black eyes instead of more broken bones and sever bruises?
7-The event supposedly happened at July 9 but the video did not surface until lately which gives time as an argument against whether the injuries really happened or not, or ,as a lesser probability, to choose a person to whom these injuries happened for some other reason then use that to make this claim.
8-Based on my search I think a video taken from the back of the bus where bodies of the attackers hide the victim surfaced first then a surveillance video from the front containing very blurry images.
9-The only clear front video(s) for the attack I could found shows the beating from after the beaten boy was hidden behind the seats.
10-Things were arranged as if for the bus driver to participate in the show without any legal responsibilities. He even claimed that the boy skedaddled out of the bus (after all that beating?) which provide an answer for why he did not check on the boy.
11-The police chief questioned why after the beating the driver did not check on the "children" instead of the "child" which supports knowledge that the action was a group show. With such a vicious attack ,if real, the attackers and the victim should be very far from being seen as one especially when it comes to the injury consequences of such attack.
12- What could support the point above even more is that the police chief came back to correct that mistake as if he recognized the significance of what it can reveal and said "..or the child in this case" or something similar to that.
