The question that seems to arise is whether the aggressor behind a vicious beating at a Broward County, Fla. school would ever have received more than a slap on the wrist if a cell phone video of the attack hadn’t gone viral. That it did is largely thanks to Andrew Pollock, whose daughter, Meadow, was killed in the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Pollock first brought the incident to the public’s attention via a pair of tweets in which he faulted the Promise program, implemented by Barack Obama. Under the program, student offenders in the school system can go utterly unpunished.
As you can see from the pair of videos embedded in the tweets, the more flagrant offender has a considerable weight advantage on her opponent. Both girls are 15.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Here is part 1 of the brutal fight at @browardschools.
The Promise program implemented by Obama & supported by @RobertwRuncie has allowed kids to go undetected/unpunished in the school system.

Broward schools @RobertwRuncie allowed this girl to get a civil citation only! Watch this attack.
The Promise program implemented by the Obama admin allows schools to apply lighter punishments & conceal incidents like this.
This is not acceptable. #accountability #FixIT pic.twitter.com/hb9N3rv1d8

As the second tweet notes, the larger girl initially received only a civil citation for her actions, which occurred on Nov. 9. But turned the videos over to Coconut Creek Police and not the Broward Sheriff’s Office, who arrested the girl on Nov. 15, nearly a full week after the incident.
According to ABC affiliate WPLG, the fight at Monarch High School was “about candy or something.”
