Black on black.
But reading to comments, it’s not confirmed that the video is from the school.

No I’m right we have a mental health problem in this nation as well as improper funding we also have thousands of not millions who can’t afford proper mental healthcare which attributes to the current problem we are seeing
Let's make the argument that 1.5 million can't afford mental health care (which I'm pretty sure is bullshite because I was turned away multiple times by places that specialize in lower/no income but I digress). The current population of the United States is 329.5 Million. 1.5 Million / 329.5 Million is a whopping 0.4%. At some point, every single person cannot be accounted for. If 99.6% of the population has access to mental health, that's a freaking win.

Imagine having to go to school and deal with this shite. Those kind of fights happen in our shite public schools all the time. They don’t always end in shootings. What a broken unfixable culture.

Video on Twitter says shooting supposedly cause by a fight between 2 boys that lead up to shooting…who knows tho. Video is 1 kid pummeling another kid.
Was that 2 black kids? I'm sure there was something that was building for days or weeks.....do schools that size not have metal detectors?

This:
Does not equal "lack of universal healthcare". It just doesn't.
I agree with you that we, as a country, have turned our backs on caring for those with mental issues. That has mostly come from the state level. States have gutted the funding of public mental health hospitals in favor of private institutions that are 100% motivated by profit. Doing so has put the responsibility of care on the justice system with county jails being the facility and poorly trained, or untrained police and jail employees responsible for the care. It is a wholly inadequate system, and one that cannot be sustained.
The worst part is that we had a system of state hospitals that served these people. We didn't fund them adequately. They fell into disrepair, and we shuttered them. Now, the problem may be worse than it has ever been.
The implementation of "Universal Healthcare" will not fix this issue, though.

You’re an advocate and staunch proponent for CRT and indoctrination.

The point is, we had them. We gutted them because they came to be seen as unpalatable. People trying to blame "sides" in this miss the boat I think.

I’m going to catch so much hell for this but I’m going to go there anyway. My theory is that the women’s movement led us here.
Hear me out…
Government led women to believe they had to work in order to be equal. Sure, they were always equal to men and always will be but the movement led them to believe the only way they could feel good about themselves is if they got a job. This led to the massive shift from stay at home moms to career moms. They don’t stay at home to raise their children anymore and rely on teenagers working at daycares to do the child rearing nowadays. That’s what’s wrong, little parental involvement in child rearing during kids’ most formative years nowadays.
There, I said it. Now downvote away.

We started prescribing meth to 8 year olds who didn’t have the attention span to sit still and quiet for hours.
We prescribed benzos to their parents who got angry they weren’t young anymore.
and then we replaced parenting with government and public education
And then we put a constant unmatchable stimulation device in their pockets that destroyed their social skills and made regular life unbearable

Evil had always been with us.
It's only recently that we have packed kids into gun free zones for them to target.

Timothy Simpkins, black male, started shooting during a fight inside the classroom.

I went to a really good public school and I know we would have fights like this happen at lunch sometimes
I took AP/Honors classes so I was never really around the people who got in fights except at football practice sometimes
I don't really think there's a high school you can go to and avoid fights. School shootings are another thing, that's a complete different argument.
And before someone says private schools, wasn't there recently a rich private school in North LA who made national news for bullying? Thankfully a lawsuit was filed and the kid didn't go John Wayne and handle the bullies himself
