Gay student savagely beaten with pipe, school administrators do nothing
Student attacked with metal pipe said school administrators did nothing to help | khou.com | Home
The student told administrators in a written statement and told his bus driver that other students were planning on attacking him. They all did nothing at all.
Jayron Martin said he begged two principals at his school and his bus driver for help before he was hit repeatedly with a metal pipe.

According to the 16-year-old, the attack took place off campus. He said a fellow student beat him after school while eight others stood around and watched. Martin believes he was beaten because he’s gay.
“All they kept saying was, ‘We going to get you. We going to fight you,’ and all that and so when they started coming after me they were like, ‘You’re not going to be gay anymore.’ They just kept hitting me,” he said.

Martin said the group chased him, and he ran into one of his neighbors' home. While there, Martin said, one of the teens beat him for seven minutes with a pipe. He said the attack didn’t stop until the man who lives in that home came downstairs.
“Then the man came down with his shotgun and he was like, ‘Y’all need to stop. Y’all need to stop,’ And the boy wouldn’t stop and he just kept hitting me and hitting me and so he cocked his gun and that’s when he ran out,” Martin said.
