School Bus Fight - Racially motivated or not?

This happened in Belleville, IL (a stone's throw from STL) yesterday.  It's been on the news & is being discussed on many radio shows.

What punishment should the aggressors receive? 

What punishment, if any, should the driver receive?

Should anything be said/done to the on-lookers, photo & video takers?

Let's talk about it!

Racial Profiling? I Doubt It.

*Disclaimer - If you know anything about me you know that I'm not racist & why I could never be.  I'm definitely a realist, but not racist.*

With that being said, correct me if I am wrong, but 99% of the time, I know we can identify the racial groups involved by a simple headline.

1. Man Snatches Gold Chain on Rush Hour Subway Train
2. Wife Caught Cheating, Angry Husband Destroys Trailer Home
3. 15 People in 2 Bedroom Home Rescued from Fire
4. Brother Stabs Another over a Neckbone Dinner
5. Bungee Jumper Dies after 10-day Coma
6. Fruit Stand Operator Barely Escapes Freeway Crash

Even tho I made up all but one of the headlines mentioned, I'm pretty sure you all can figure out who did what sans the mention of any apparent racial identifier - Black, White, Hispanic, etc.

Doctor Mike has a video post about an 8-year old who is still breastfeeding.  Right away, several people including myself identified those involved before we even started the video.  Another person who happens to be of the same persuasion as the stars of the show was a little taken aback at the "racial profiling" that ensued on this post.  Ok....

With all we (as minorities) have witnessed and some may have even experienced (especially black men behind the wheel of a car), is this really racial profiling or just plain old telling it like it is?  I tend to believe the latter.

Let's talk about it.
