More Info On "Emotionally Disturbed" Teen Stabbing

Victim Negro Rivera

Yesterday morning, a special needs Bronx teenager was left in critical condition after he was attacked outside his school and stabbed in the neck with scissors. The Daily News and NY Times interviewed some of 16-year-old Negro Rivera's classmates, who labeled him a "troublemaker," and a "bully." But a former teacher at PS 12 Lewis and Clark School took umbrage to the media's handling of the story, and wrote us to add more context to the incident:

What you should know is that P12 is school designated for students with "Emotional Disturbances" and all kids attending 12 are evaluated and given this label in order to attend the school. To target this kid as bully is completely unfair, he has a real Mental Health issue and quite frankly the City is not providing these kids with the proper environment or services they need, and inevitably this is why incidents of this nature happen. Most disheartening is that the media is using quotes and anecdotes from other EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED STUDENTS, most of whom have committed similar violent or aggressive acts to even end up at 12 in the first place. Negro was a kind student who needed more support from the City who labeled him "emotionally disturbed" I witnessed him being verbally assaulted or bullied to almost the same extent other students were. This is what happens when the City creates a "dumping ground" for students with real Mental Health issues and turns a blind eye. I would hate to see this student continue to be targeted as a villain when he and his family are trying to recover and cope.

According to his mother, Cassandra Rivera, Negro suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and bipolar disorder; he's been a frequent runaway, and it seems too much for her to handle. The day before the stabbing, she went to court and turned Negro over to the city Administration for Children's Services, who placed him into foster care. Less than a day later, she received a call that her son had been stabbed and was in critical condition. Police haven't made any arrests in the attack yet.

  • I've noticed a trend of blacks attacking Hispanics. So much for black/brown solidarity. When whitey is out of the picture things are going to regress back to tribalism and savagery. Wonder what the Jews will do then when they take whitey's place and can't play the victim card anymore.

    Ha, his name is Negro! They named a mulatto Negro! That must really sting the soul of a race caste conscious hispanic!

  • BoogieDown

    According to the DN and NY1, two teens have been arrested for their alleged role in the attack.

    People are very quick to blame the mother here. FYI, mentally ill people can come from otherwise stable, loving homes. It's now known that 1% or more of the population is affected by serious mental illness like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

    I feel bad for the mother; I know personally how difficult it can be to deal with a mentally ill family member. It CAN be too much to take sometimes. These kids clearly don't have enough support. It's a bad situation all around.

  • Same shit, different day.

    this is what happens when people have sex at 16 and don't abort their babies. Blame society for not taking care of the results of your O-face.

  • The Great Arturo Bandini

    Another way to put it would be that this is what happens when people (with Forest Gump level IQ's who do cocaine and drink alcohol as an occupation) have sex at 16 and don't raise (or care about) their babies.

  • Rocknrope

    Where did you see the mother's age listed, or are you guys just making a crass generalization?

  • BoogieDown

    One of the media outlets (can't remember which one) stated she is 32.

  • The Great Arturo Bandini

    I think our tax dollars being used to support this kid his whole life entitles each of us to one crass generalization.

  • darkdrseuss

    Yeah, funny cause hitler had the same thought process as you guys about the mentally handicapped. Shall I assume you want national grid to set up chambers so your "taxes" aren't wasted?

  • Telemachus_1

    No, but he should certainly be sterilized. The supreme court has ruled that anyone with an IQ below 75 cannot be executed because they do not know right from wrong. Never mind the fact 75 is the average IQ for native sub-saharan Africans, if the kid is retarded, he undoubtedly has an IQ below 75. 80-85 is the minimum for basic functioning.

    People who cannot under the law be held responsible for their actions cannot be responsible for having children and should be prevented from doing so.

    I kinda pegged you for being a white supremacist but needed a bit more confirmation..and lo and behold!

  • The Great Arturo Bandini

    Because you know there's no middle ground between subsidizing someone's trashy lifestyle and putting them in a gas chamber...

    In the 1930's there were very few people, if any, "gaming" the system like so many do today. Welfare was known as 'relief' and was meant to be a temporary thing; nothing like today where the state pays women to not have a man in the house.

    but i'd always thought those jews were mentally sound and otherwise very healthy people... (maybe malnourished because of what hitler did to them, but nothing lacking in their mental faculty as far as i know.)

    eh, what do i know.

  • Telemachus_1

    Actually, Jews are well known to suffer from a variety of mental illnesses, and most Jews certainly suffer from an aggressive and intense demeanor as well as obsessive/compulsive neuroses. A number are well established to be genetic and are related to a number of the physical deformations associated with them. Jews tend to have low testosterone levels, and in extreme cases insufficient prenatal levels lead to a malformed penis (all babies are female at conception. Testosterone causes the ovaries and uterus to leave the body and become male genitalia). This is a possible explanation for the unusual obsession with sex amongst Jews, best evidenced by Freud and his subjects, nearly all of whom were also Jews. The fact their race is so highly ethnocentric probably doesn't help either.

    Jewish control of the media has resulted in a state where neurotic Jewish tendencies are a primary source of mass media entertainment, so the obviousness of their personality disorders is not generally apparent to Americans.

    Lastly, Hitler doesn't really discuss these specific issues in Mein Kampf too much. This stuff was generally considered common knowledge. What he did discuss, which we are increasingly being able to prove via IQ surveys and associated studies, is Jews are highly intelligent (the word is better translated as "clever") but depraved. What we now know is that high intelligence is associated with reduced understanding of complex emotions and with this, diminished creativity, and a lack of empathy. To a casual observer, this is something easily understood if you go visit a Jewish school like Columbia or Harvard, or hang out in Park Slope. The emotional state of Jews and other highly intelligent people is very unusual, almost inhuman. Particularly when you look at their involvement in our legal and financial system, it shouldn't be any surprise it is as messed up as it is.

    It takes a certain inability to understand reality to think that a society can survive with millions of laws, or a financial system that demands exponential growth. A child can understand that there is a limit to how many rules a man can understand, or that baby bunnies can't reproduce forever at an exponential rate.

    High IQ is associated with an inability to think creatively about future consequences, thus we have at the moment a total breakdown of our civilization because the people in power simply don't understand human nature or the basic laws of nature like the impossibility of infinite exponential growth.

    PS: highly intelligent East Asians often possess this reduced emotional ability, although it is more perceived as a flat emotional affect rather than the intense aggression of Jews.

  • HymietownHero

    Wow.

    Just... wow.

    You claim Jews are extremely aggressive. That they have physical "deformations" associated with them. They they have malformed penises. Obsessed with sex. That Jews are not creative and lack empathy. That Harvard is a "Jewish school." Even the old bit about Jews controlling the media. Tell me, are you some kind of advanced supertroll or do you really buy into the racialist bullcrap of the previous century? Can I guess what "race" you think is the superior, master variety...?

  • Guest

    sorry, i'm too dumb to read all this. kudos to you. kudos.

  • NlGGAZ

    I'm gonna file this under #45456563452395 of Godwin's law. thank you for playing.

  • darkdrseuss

    really don't know how the comparison is an inappropriate use of the analogy. You're talking about how youth should abort their children to avoid mentally handicapped people, thus extermination. But I'm glad i got a jab out of you.
