She who smelt it allegedly dealt a beating.

A 15-year-old boy at a high school in Staten Island, New York received eight stitches after a 17-year-old girl allegedly beat him with a metal stool. The row between the students exploded Monday after the girl accused the boy of farting on her, New York Magazine's Daily Intelligencer reported.

After hitting the boy with the stool, the female student allegedly beat him on the head with her fist 10 to 15 times, the Staten Island Advance reported.

The Huffington Post is not naming the students because they are minors. The incident occurred at the Pleasant Plains school, which serves teens with special needs and disabilities, according to authorities.

The 17-year-old student faces felony and misdemeanor assault charges. She is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 25.


Thoughts?

I am just waiting for the "modern feminist" to comment on this how the girl should've not been punished in any way or something like that lol.

On the other hand, "After hitting the boy with the stool, the female student allegedly beat him on the head with her fist 10 to 15 times, the Staten Island Advance reported. " she should be expelled at least.

I really didn't think it would be a boy vs girl fight, I was surprised and shocked that she hit him with a stool lol.

If the report is true she should be charged with a felony. Beating anyone like that should be illegal.

People who can rage out like that over something small are dangerous to have in society. I wonder why she was so over the top?

The people who raised her probably never taught her how to handle her emotions, or she simply learned to react that way from past situations. Sort of like how people who had violent parents sort of grow up to be angry people, because that is the main emotional reaction they know.

She has brothers..

But seriously, I think it's likely that she's been abused at home, has been bullied at school and/or has severe anger issues (from both) and this was the simply the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak..

Everyone's got a breaking point, and when some reach theirs, they get sympathy, while others get demonized with calls for felony charges and probably worse.

As someone who had severe anger issues from being bullied, my breaking point was when my bullies hit me, which happened after I tried to ignore them and they refused to leave me alone thinking that I was scared of them, and the teachers and school administrators I told laughed it off and ignored it, regarding it has "child's play," "just a phase," or worse, "love" if my bully was male and said that I needed to ignore it and "toughen up."

This, I think, is the sort of thing that can either build up an overwhelming sense of helplessness or extreme rage in the victim. I used to feel helpless, until I realized that my bullies will continue hurting me whether I ignore them or not, and so I figured that if I'm going to be hurt, then it might as well have a reason and I started fighting back.

Their laughter stopped when the kid they said was "in love with me" lost a testicle because of an attempted sexual assault. Which, I'd later find out that he apparently had a long history of, since it was the reason he was expelled from so many schools. If it wasn't for the teacher who ran in after hearing me scream for him to let go of me and having seen that I kicked him in self defense, I would've been expelled too.

His mother didn't press charges because she knew about her son's history, and although she didn't get into why he was that way, she also didn't think that I should be punished since it was self defense. I didn't get into trouble with the school because despite the officials denying knowing anything about this, while trying to paint me as an "extremely angry and violent little girl who is the product of divorced parents and a danger to everyone," my mother and I was not only able to show proof that I did tell them each and every time this kid bothered me as well as the things he said to me, and their responses, but, she threatened to go to the BoE with the proof and sue the school if they didn't back off their plans to expell me. They did.

After this incident, I didn't have as many bullies, except for the guy in 7th grade, and he didn't bother showing his face around the neighborhood due to the fact that he got his butt kicked by a 6th grader (yours truly,) and the other bullies I had before left me alone or ended up becoming friends after realizing that I was shy, and not stuck up. My brother's bullies weren't much of a problem once they found out who he was related to.

That aside though, I honestly wonder about what it is that she was going through that forced her to build up her resolve to the point where a single act of stupidity caused it to break.

While some idiots like the boy in question will continue on grating someone's nerve until they get a reaction, the reaction here was very extreme in this case and I truly wonder what the true cause of this was. I don't think that people just "snap" for no reason.

I say this because at 17, she must've seen her fair share of idiots like the 15 year old, at school, but she didn't react to them as extremely as she did with him. He simply messed with her at the wrong time, when its likely that any other day, she would've told everyone that he sh*t his pants and got the entire class laughing at him.

I just think that there is some serious back story here, and before I get out my pitchforks, crucifixes, torches and holy water to exorcise this "demon" I'd like to know what it is first.

Now, if it comes out that she just wanted to beat someone over the head with a stool, then I'll be front and center with pitchforks and torches in hand, but I just think that there is a lot missing from this story..

Beat him with a stool and hit him 10-15 times? That's excessive. What's "missing" from the story?

I am remarking on the fact that this is the reaction, as extreme as it was, it was a reaction, and I am curious as to what the cause was. I don't think that the fart was what caused it, since, as a 17 year old, she didn't pulverize every other 15 year old kid who likely did the same, I just think that it was the action that set her off.

It is fairly evident that she's got a lot of anger issues, because after the initial hit, she continued and had to be pulled off, which was sometimes the case when I fought my bullies, because when you are in it, you begin to feel all of the anger you've built up inside of you to that point, be released.

And when you are actually fighting the person who caused it, or, in this case, the one who happened to set you off, the release of all that anger feels too good, and you get to the point that when you let that go, especially as everything you've been through comes flooding back to you, fueling your rage in that moment, you unfortunately get to a somewhat trance-like state where you can't stop, unless you are pulled off, and usually after that point, the trance is lifted, remorse replaces rage, and the reality of what you've just done sets in.

That, is likely what's happened here, unless she is just a violent psychopath who just likes pulverizing people.

but like everyone else, I just wonder what the true cause of this was.
