Just another brick in the wall?

People: any ideas about WTF is going on here?

Sometimes punishing each child individually is just too time consuming.

Perhaps they expressed doubts about the "public option"

It looks like a scientific "demonstration". Obviously, running over fingers on a hard surface would cause serious damage and pain. On sand, one should feel pressure, but no pain. Of course, this would never work in the US!

not at all clear that it's sand...just a canvas tarp

That is definitely a tarp. And also seriously wtf.

Apparently it was a demonstration of skills the kids had learnt in karate class.

The government has banned such stunts in the future, but I couldn't find out if any of the children were hurt, or if motorcycle dude was arrested.

@Kunal: Good find!

@Angus: Where'd you get the picture from?

Like how to endure intense pain for no reason?

Nice touch to give them a tarp to lie on while you crush their little fingers!

I found the pic at pictureisunrelated.com
