Five Florida students are facing charges after a viral video shows a group beating a 14-year-old boy on the back of a school bus — an attack the boy’s parents claim happened because he wore a “Trump 2020” hat to school.
The incident sparked national attention after video of the attack was shared on social media this week. Video of the November 21 attack showed the boy sitting by himself in the back of a bus and coming under attack first by a female student and then by several others, who punched and kicked the boy as he did little to fight back. The video did not show what sparked the fight.
