Allen Allan — yes, that’s his name — is a junior at North Olmsted.
When he saw two girls fighting in school recently, he did what any other curious, red-blooded male witnessing a catfight would do: he began filming it.
Allan then posted the video to Facebook, which is where his trouble with his school began.
This article appears in Oct 27 – Nov 2, 2010.
Just curious, what was the punishment for the girls that were in the fight? Will they be getting a recommendation for expulsion? Allen Allan wouldn’t have had anything to film or post had those lovely ladies not been in a brawl.
Donqi and I have recently discovered that the girls were also each suspended for 10 days. The fight was apparently “pre-planned” by the girl who through the first punch. The girl who was unaware of the fight prior to it “Got the S*** kicked out of her.”
I DECLARE SHENANIGANS
I think the punishment fits the crime. Teenagers today go beyond moral values and are allowed to get away with alot. An example needs to be made to deter this type of behavior. Otherwise copy cats will do this and the fights would get increasingly more severe, until someone is hospitalized or worse. The internet was not created for clips of stupidy and we need to clean it up, starting with our children. bad enough there are adults out there that work in Media, that a re not good examples either, such as Jack ASS movies and other stupid reality shows. Its sad we have lowered are standards for our Children, who our suppose to be our future. Dont get me wrong, I beleive in freedom of Speech, but there needs to be a line of stupidty people should not be allowed to cross.
This is a ridiculous punishment for what he did and should be reversed. His parents ought to bring
a lawsuit against the school immediately. Shooting a video and putting it on Facebook is hardly a
crime and the old farts who handed down this punishment need to get a grip. Maybe he’s the
next Steven Spielberg in the making!!!
Excuse me… but WHAT CRIME DID HE COMMIT? The last time I checked the constitution insures us the right of free speech… How is filming a fight illigal. I have seen much more egregious videos posted on Youtube. Can someone explain to me exactly what law was broken?
North Olmstead needs to lighten up. Teens are going to fight, there is no place on earth that there is no violence and all this suspension/expulsoin crap is what is making them look bad. Let the kid back in school, suspend the girls for 3 days and be done with it.
sss
I agree with the punishment as well. People are pre-planning these types of fights in order to get them posted on social websites. For those of you who do not think there was a problem with him posting the fight on facebook I’m sure it would be a problem if your child, brother or sister was the one getting the crap beat out them. It’s about preventing this type of behavior from spiralling out of control. Many times the person starting the fight has someone nearby prepared to record it. This is all pre-planned at times. This type of video is getting more and more popular over the internet. Ten days will make others think twice about posting these fights.
When are both parents and teens going to accept responsibility for their actions? Actions have consequences; both good and bad. All parties involved in this need to accept the consequences of their actions.
You made teitter and facebook now you want to punish this kid for using this website. Since the website causes so much trouble why not shut it down? We give these kis these avenues and then we punish them for using them,hell I am confusssed. I don’t support these websites because of the harm it has caused many people. Shut the site down or improve the site so that no one is harmed by the things that are allowed to be placed on there. His parents should sue the school district for their actions, which could cause their child to miss out on a ride to college, this child’s future is on the line because of some BS.
Every single television station that has ever televised pictures of war, people dying, aftermath of plane crashes, heavyweight boxing matches, Ultimate Fighter etc should be shut down also.
We all watch death destruction mayhem and malice all day long on the tube, so to me this is pretty darn tame.
Yes suspend the girls, they were the ones actually violating a school policy. I have not heard wether it is against school policy to have a video camera. If the boy was not supposed to have the camera, then fine, suspend him for a day or 3, but expulsion ?
I’d be looking for some new school officials if I lived there.
Maybe his parents should be punished for giving him such a stupid name with two spellings of Alle(a)n. I agree the punishment is harsh. 10 days suspension is enough. The girls better have had a more severe punishment, why is that not mentioned?
