The family of Kaylee Gain, a Missouri girl who was critically injured during a fight 10 days ago near a St. Louis high school, said Monday she has suffered a fractured skull and hasn’t regained consciousness.
“The full scope and extent of Kaylee’s injuries and prognosis for recovery cannot be determined until, with God’s grace, she regains consciousness,” attorney Bryan Kaemmerer, a spokesperson for Gain’s family, said in a statement.
Video shows the 16-year-old was punched during an altercation near Hazelwood East High School on March 8.
Gain can be seen in the video getting thrown to the ground and punched in the head by another teen girl. The video also shows her getting her head slammed ont
Bet it was all over a dude too.
What’s with all the bullying girls lately? This is just another one. Just Nex in Oklahoma. What the fuck?
Lead water pipes aren’t helping.
Well Nex was different, Christianity teaches people to murder the LGBT. This was a personal issue. Bit different shooting up an abortion clinic vs shooting up a nightclub
Nex was different in that it was a suicide by mixing medications. Christianity teaches that suicide is wrong, so you can’t really blame that for this one.
I think we can.

And who drove her to suicide? You are basically using the states right civil war argument now.
Let’s ask the NT what it says about the LGBT
For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
Christianity creates the intolerant atmosphere and then absolves itself for the violent attacks carried out in its name.
She called a group of black people the one word, you know the one. I’m not saying she deserved to get sent to the hospital but she had to know something was going to happen.
Do you have a source for that?
Source? Or mods should remove misinformation.
If she did say it, violence is never right, nor is hate speech
Violence is right in many instances, including self-defense from bigots.
I guarantee if somebody broke into your home and started stabbing your loved ones, you would suddenly find a moral stance on violent self-defense.
In reality, outside of lofty platitudes fed to you by corporations to keep you passive, the only good things on this planet were earned through violence and protected from ruin by violence. To claim otherwise is ignorance.
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?
If someone calls you a slur on the schoolyard, you go to the teacher with witnesses or walk away.
Being called a mean word is not a call for self defense.
Obviously teenagers fight, but this most certainly wasn’t “self defense”
That wasn’t what I said at all. Feel free to address what I said.
First sentence. You said violence is right for self defense from bigots.
In general, sure, violence is right for self defense from physical risk. but hate speech is not that.
Edit someone breaking into my home and stabbing someone is not someone saying hateful things to me.
Your comment is junk.
in general, sure, violence is right for self defense
So everything I’ve said is true, and you admit you were full of it in your initial comment.
I never said anything about the girl in the story. You’re making shit up to disagree with because what you said was wrong.
Thanks.
I’m a St. Louis native and my source is on the witness list, I don’t care if you believe it or not but I won’t reveal the source until after the trial. You don’t have to worry though, unless they all take plea deals it is 100% coming out during the trial.
That’s all fine, just clarifying we shouldnt add fire to a story unless it is verifiable.
Beyond that, physical violence is not an appropriate response to hate speech.
Hate speech is not appropriate at all either, but physical violence is wrong in this case.
Do you have a source for that? I haven’t seen the video but can’t find anything to back up the claim that she was throwing slurs.
So what I’m hearing is that in this particular case there will be consequences because it’s black-on-white crime.
And who can blame them. The parents aren’t alright either.
Kids raising kids. That’s been a huge problem, and we went from to harsh punishments and teacher power to the exact opposite, of no punishment and teachers with no ability to do anything.
Are you saying the solution is to remove agency from the children and bring back harsh punishments?
What part of my post made you think that? All I said was that we went from one extreme to another.
Parental age has been steadily increasing for decades, it can’t be an explanation for things appearing to have got worse recently. What’s your reasoning?
While you are correct, the statement isn’t really about age, more so about people who aren’t really adults yet having kids. I know unfortunately plenty of people who still want to act like they’re in highschool/college and have kids. They still want the nightlife of staying out late drinking and partying while they have kids. I don’t know if it’s happening more than in the past but it sure does seem like it, especially with social media tossed in.
Yeah, that’s not happening more than in the past either
Young adults today are less likely to drink than young adults two decades ago – but older adults are more likely to do so, according to Gallup. The share of adults ages 18 to 34 who say they ever drink dropped from 72% in 2001-03 to 62% in 2021-23. (Gallup looked at the data in three-year time periods to allow for reliable age-group analysis.).
The one sense this generation of parents is more like high school kids is their earnings in relation to housing costs. Parents are working longer hours because they have no damn choice.
That is at least consistent with the known facts. But it’s still a hell of a leap to divine all that from one high school fight which turned out uglier than usual.
Capitalist Society Is Making Us Physically and Mentally Unwell. But nobody wants to confront it.
Punched? I think the smash against the concrete contributed to the skull fracture more than a punch.
