’MERICA — A 50-second video clip that shows a student knocking out his classmate for hitting their teacher during a fracas has gone viral.


The video, published to Twitter on Oct. 24, shows two students going at it as their teacher intervenes to break things up. Suddenly, one of the students begins swinging wildly at the teacher. When he connects, the tough guy refocuses his energy on his original target. That’s when an enforcer steps in.


A fellow student takes exception to his classmate striking a teacher, and makes his point by cracking the troublemaker in the face. He pulls the instigator’s opponent off of him, flexes his muscles and yells at him to get his head in check.


Once the offender has some sense knocked into him, the teacher, shaken up, attempts to return calm to her classroom. It is unknown why the fight started or where it took place, but Twitter user @B1GoingD1 has accumulated more than 45,000 likes and 40,000 retweets.
