Gay student has screwdriver jabbed in face during ‘5-round’ brawl as principal watches without helping

Atlanta police have charged four students for allegedly participating in a 20-person melee directed at two gay teens.

Tim Jefferson, 16, told WGCL that he was leaving Carver School of Technology with his friend when classmates began shouting racial and homophobic slurs.

Cell phone video obtained by WGCL showed dozens of students huddled around as a young man is being beaten. According to WGCL reporter Tylar Bacome, students described the melee as a “5-round fight with punches being thrown by as many as 20 students at one point.”

Jefferson recalled that one student jammed a screwdriver right next to his eye.

“My face, my eye, my lip, on my back, my spine right in the middle, the back of my neck and I got hit in the back of my head,” the teen said, pointing out his injuries. Jefferson also noted that a principal at Carver School of Technology watched the fight, but did nothing to help.

It's the only way bigots will end this - when it's costing their districts millions when administrators stand by and do nothing.
