A judge said the student, now 18, showed no remorse for the beating. His mother said he has mental health conditions and needs help.

A Florida student accused of beating a school employee unconscious after she confiscated his Nintendo Switch last year was sentenced to five years in prison Tuesday, court records show.

Brendan Depa, 18, pleaded no contest to one count of aggravated battery on an elected official or education employee, according to sentencing documents from the Seventh Judicial Circuit Court in Flagler County.

Depa, who was 17 at the time of the assault, was also sentenced to 15 years of probation.

    We live in a country where we can’t have women provided with maternity leave or universal health care.

    I doubt many people really care if the shit stain goes to prison for an violence. In fact prison literally ment to put these people away which this piece of shit deserves. Mental disability or not.

        How is this any different with any other violent felon, my dearest stable genious?

        Do you undersyamd that we live in the country where we don’t provide any resources to people who have a chance to make it out? Why should society prioritizr needs of a violent piece of shit over people who work for money?

        Why should society waste 100k per year on this trash? Do educate us stable genius! So maybe we have 10% better chance he won’t re offend?

        Clown prioriyy lead to a circus society lol

        Prison is for violent criminals inherently.
