What do we expect when there is George Floyd challenge doing the social media rounds. It's an absolute disgrace. There's hubdreds of the bastards doing it

Look it’s totally wrong and there should be repercussions but they are kids. As if this sort of stuff only happens at elite schools! It just makes better headlines when it’s at an elite school

Oh

Why not? They're black. Can't see the error of their ways? Something really wrong with their education. Perhaps a gov sponsored quota system for the indigenous in private schools?

WTF is with kids in elite schools in this country. Hereditary wealth ruins kids.

They're calling it the George Floyd challenge, it's shit house but whenever something horrific happens in the world you can grunter there's a meme or something like that doing the round on socials, just the way it is unfortunately

These are boys who are unlearned at this point in life; don't rumble about it, too many bad things are happening to lives; someone at the school will make sure these boys know right from wrong.

Not sure if we have hate crime laws in Oz?

you’re joking. can people actually do something about these shitty private boy schools

Teenager in the bratt school remove your knee we're way past racism and jocularity please Do we gotta take to the streets during Covid 19 So we can convince the school expel you hastily! (Mirror in the bathroom, English Beat)

Pair of idiots. Expel them now

Dumb and immature. Need a good talking to and serious community service with the less advantaged.

Ah, this is what ScottMorrisonMP means when he says not to “import the things that are happening overseas to Australia”? Can really see the empathy & compassion emanating from pasty, entitled white school boys. WE DON’T NEED TO IMPORT WHITE ENTITLEMENT. IT NEVER LEFT.

Is that a Terrace uniform? Typical.

me_mccarron Two students from Legacy Christian Academy in Andover, Minnesota:

There's a slew of white folk doing this on social media platforms and tagging it as the 'George Floyd challenge. It's disgusting and appalling.

Send them on an exchange program to an American inner city school where they are the minority for a year. It will either kill them or teach them. Either way their racism will be ended.

WTF?

AsTimeGoesBy0 Gotta luv white boy satire.

Expel them all these racist teenagers GregoryTerrace1 thecatholicleader BrisbaneCatholic This is disgusting !!

ScottMorrisonMP good we’re not importing anything from the 🇺🇸🤦🏼‍♀️🇦🇺

Wait. From Queensland? Go figure.

Yeah so what. It’s called free speech losers

Not to worry ... karma never disappoints 😉

AnstieLara I guess to white privileged boys this is all funny. This will be the future LiberalAus supporters and members in the future.

Australia. The most racist place I’ve ever lived. And I live in America!

Idiots🙄

Punish them severely, little toe rags.

Expulsion!

I blame the police.

Stay Classy, Brisbane

Its Straya. Not surprised. Mock other cultures.Then holiday in Bali.

Going to choose my words carefully here to address this shocking story... So Fucking What

This is bad but we have to remember they are kids. If this is a first offence expulsion only gives this cred & boost the sense of being a bad boy etc. serious suspension and community service would be more effective. We need to change the mindset and guide kids not make it worse

Wtf does the type of school they go to have to do with it? Are you saying people who are rich enough for private school should be smarter or have better morals than this? What, you only expect that behaviour from lowly state school kids? 🙄

Not another one. Clearly the Tik Tok of those American boys doing it has already taken off. Smdh

people just wont learn

It ain't elite if you have to pay for it. It's just expensive auspol

It’s a joke, in bad taste, but not criminal. If comedy starts to have criminal links pushed upon it, what’s the point of speech?

*Breaking News*... Teenage boys do something stupid... must be a slow news day

Show their faces, kick them out of school!

These 'elite' kids are also the ones who go on to be our politicians and CEO's and this attitude stays with them.

What? To soon? They're kids doing a stupid thing. Let's all move on like we did with the coronavires

RacismDog

damonayoung Eat the rich

can you confirm/deny this? kinda changes the story if true

Rich soulless parents who taught their little shit no respect. In the greater scheme of things..they aren’t elite at all. GeorgeFloyd

Complete rubbish. More FAKE NEWS.

Expulsion looms?

Lol. 🤣👍🏻

Don't be surprised, its an LNP/IPA recruiting school, the boys are just auditioning for membership of the Young Liberals

How do racists get a good start in life? Go to an elitist private school. Get a tut tut and no re-education program. The whole school needs a deep clean like when we find an outbreak of COVID. These children are the next killers. Shame on the school for preparing these minds.

Elusive_Sausage It's always interesting to see how normalised racism is in Australia

Australia's finest! What a bunch of twts

jimmalo7 I go there and the school does not condone the behaviour of these boys. Firstly, these two boys pictures did not know they were being photographed and were wrestling and not attempting to re-enact George Floyd’s death. Secondly, the boy who took the photo has been suspended.

Expel them. Now.

'Elite'. You're all so tiresome.

Yawn...move on...

They're playing this stupid game all over the world and posting pics to social media. The world is off it's rocker.

Fuck yeah. Spicy bois.

Entitled privileged hate filled private school students can be such a disappointment.

Stupid kids doing stupid things. T’was ever thus

Why would you do this?

Just read the comments that this post gets. Then tell me Australia isn't racist AF.

Were they high on methamphetamine and fentanyl at the time, and had they just committed a crime ? If not I'd say it's a clear case of misappropriation ! Send in the lynch mob !

The abject nonsense surrounding this death deserves all the ridicule it gets - not the death of the victim, but the virtue-signalling nonsense by thousands of adults pretending that rioting & looting somehow fixes things.

To be honest! The riot have nothing do to with George Floyd. They just want to steal. They don't care if a black owner own the store. It will be burned down.

Self entitled twats attend an “elite” private school. Say it ain’t so, future LNP MP’s.

Private schools are really terrible places.

Hilarious! wait wut? too soon?

Elite.. jerks

You said all I needed to know “elite” smdh

Ah, those 'elite' private schools. Keeps happening, doesn't it?
