Holcombe says he wrongly assumed no one would try to trip him or slap him in the back of the head by the reflecting pool.
However, while a tour guide explained the significance of the memorial’s “Survivor Tree”— a pear tree that was recovered from the rubble at the World Trade Center, nursed back to health, and now serves as a symbol of hope and determination in the face of tragedy—he was quietly called all three names, as well as “Al-Gay-Da.”
Because 9/11 united America, and we were never violent, racist, or anti-freedom ever again.
Ooof
Ace that haircut, dude.
This is a real article slipped into the Onion because of how disturbing reality is for many kids. Adults tell kids to behave and be respectful but are somehow oblivious to bullies and always place the blame on the victims.
Daaaaaark
I hope the parents do something about their disgusting stupid children. What's also wrong here are the parents & teachers who stand by or support the bullying. This story is horrific & I hope the young man manages to overcome the abuse. Karma will prevail.
My heart breaks for this kid.
I FELT that.
One of his many mistaken assumptions was thinking that the bullies would not repeatedly throw firecracker laden paper airplanes at his head.
I would have “bullied “ them with my hands.
If every teacher got one free chokeslam on bullies society would be better.
If the bullying stops, the terrorists win. Never forget.
This is like a funny Babylon Bee. I like it
America never forgets
That's because bullies 'Never Forget'.
Great article, thanks The Onion 🧅🙏😂
