Florida Father Just a Big Bully

"Fla. father apologizes for tirade on bullying" by Associated Press  |  September 22, 2010

LAKE MARY, Fla. — A Florida father wept as he apologized at a news conference for storming onto a school bus and threatening children onboard because his 13-year-old disabled daughter had been bullied.

James Willie Jones’s voice cracked during the appearance yesterday. He said he himself was acting as a bully.

He said his daughter has cerebral palsy and he “could not stand by and helplessly watch her suffer.’’  

But the world can stand by and watch Israel bully the Palestinians.

Jones was charged last week with disorderly conduct and disturbing a school function for the Sept. 3 incident. He was ordered to stay away from the driver and county school buses.
