Governor Rick Perry is speaking out about the videos showing the so called State School fight club. Governor Perry who was visiting here says he hasn't seen the videos personally, but that they've been described to him as repulsive.  Bill Churchwell has the Governor's reaction and with more of that exclusive video. The video recordings captured on a cell phone total about 12 minutes.  They allegedly show staged fights among disabled residents at the hands of state school employees.

Who could imagine that these students who have a disability needed proctection from the very people employed to care for them and to help improve their quality of life. More training, eduction and supervision for carers is required to provide the quality of life people with a disability deserve. I pray that these scums who coordinated these fights are dealt with by the authorities and they get what they deserve. Most importantly I hope the students are supported during these investigations

These people all need to answer for what they have done to these poor people. Im' looking foward to them getting locked up for a very long time. These people were victums of the worst kind. Too think that we were paying these dispicable people to care for our disabled population makes me sick.

I JUST CAN NOT BELIEVE THE THINGS THAT I HAVE SEEN. IT HAS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES TO SEE WHAT THESE 6 PEOPLE HAVE PUT THESE DEFENSELESS PEOPLE THROUGH. I REALLY HOPE JUSTICE IS SERVED IN THIS MATTER AND THE HIGHEST PENALTY IS ISSUED TO THESE PEOPLE WHO YOU CAN HEAR LAUGHING IN THE BACKGROUND OF THESE VIDEOS. I WISH THAT I WAS WORKING AT THE STATE SCHOOL AT THAT TIME TO BE MOUTH, THE EYES, AND THE EARS FOR THESE GUYS!! I JUST CAN NOT BELIEVE THE THINGS THAT I HAVE SEEN.

And we know that those involved are being prosecuted criminally. We have to be patient and wait for the trial and punishment phase. What the State School needs is community support and prayer to get past this horrid incident. These 6 idiots do not represent the good hardworking employees - we are a family for our individuals and we care for them. Often here more than with our own flesh and blood - so pray for us and our individuals. Thank you.
