https://www.kut.org/crime-justice/2026-02-03/ice-protest-fight-texas-johnson-high-school-hays-cisd-buda-txBuda police officers have arrested a 45-year-old man following a fight with student protesters near Johnson High School on Monday.Chad Michael Watts, who lives in Kyle, was charged Tuesday afternoon with two counts of assault causing bodily injury.The incident was captured in a now viral video.A man and a student protester are seen getting into a verbal argument that quickly turns physical and results in the man throwing the girl to the ground and striking her repeatedly until other students intervene and pull him away. Video posted to social media shows he then returned to his truck.Watts was later brought in for questioning by Buda Police. "After further thorough investigation, it was determined that Watts was the primary aggressor in the physical altercation," the department said in a statement.The student, a sophomore, was checked by Emergency Medical Services and chose not to be taken to the hospital.The protest was one of several walkouts that happened Monday in Hays County. Students from Hays High, Johnson High, Lehman High, Barton Middle and Live Oak Academy High schools made up some of the hundreds of students who gathered to protest the actions of federal immigration officers.Students gathered at all four corners of the intersection of FM 1626 and RM 967 during the Johnson High demonstration, holding signs and cheering. Around 200 students walked out of the school and participated in the protest.Buda Police, alongside county constables and sheriff's deputies, all had a presence at the protest when it started, temporarily blocking a lane of traffic on FM 1626 southbound to separate the high school protesters from the road. The protest lasted several hours and, over that time, several of the police units left to respond to other calls.Around 3 p.m., Buda Police responded to reports of an assault on one of the students by a driver.
Students react to violence during the walkoutStudents who saw the incident take place were dismayed that the protest became violent.“Leading up to the [incident], it was very peaceful," sophomore Isabella said. "Nobody was being violent, nobody was like tormenting the people driving by. We were just standing there … hooting and hollering, just making our voices heard. There wasn't really anything, I think at all, that would have prompted a grown man to attack a teenage girl."Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra released a statement on Tuesday afternoon, saying, “No matter one’s political views, an adult bears a clear responsibility to exercise restraint, especially in the presence of children," he said. "Violence or intimidation directed at a minor—particularly during a lawful, peaceful demonstration—has no place in a constitutional republic that depends on the rule of law rather than force."For some students, these protests are deeply personal. José, another sophomore, wanted to participate in the protest as a tribute to his family. “One of my uncles have recently got deported, and it's just sad to like see it in my family,” he said. “It really does affect our family — not knowing if we're gonna see them again.”Following the alleged assault, the protest continued for another hour. “Afterwards ... we proceeded to continue to peacefully protest," Isabella said. "We picked our signs back up, we picked ourselves back up and we had our voices heard again.”
>>1486831>roadrages hard enough he tries to fight a teenage girl>gets his ass kicked and runs away>panic shaves his head to avoid arrest>gets arrested anywayaverage MAGA retard
>>1486838Don’t forget he got his ass kicked by teenage girls
>>1486838>>1486841He sounds perfect for ICE.
>>1486838The worst part was Abbot and Paxton both attacked the students and essentially defended the MAGAet who assaults teenage girls.
>>1486838more like average moid retard
>>1486832>“Afterwards ... we proceeded to continue to peacefully protest," Isabella said. "We picked our signs back up, we picked ourselves back up and we had our voices heard again.”When teenagers are more mature than - certainly infinitely superior to - a 45-year old manchild, this proves that MAGA is dying.So what was that about having better morals than those not exactly like you, worshipers of your orange Manchild-in-Chief?
>>1486846Republicans defending people who beat women? Say it ain't so.
>>1486856It gets worse, Abbot is using this as an excuse to blackmail schools that allow protests by cutting their funding and the school superintendent already said he's going to ban future protests because of the attack.So the victims are being punished.Very conservative.
>>1486858When they come for your first and fourth amendments, that's what the second is for.
>>1486831Next time bring a gun to your protest to protect yourself from rabid dogs like this piece of shit
>>1486831he should be let off for being a patriot, dealing with terrorists should've given him a medal not a punishment.those obnoxious brats were going to grow up being pieces of shit karens anyways they need to be taught a lesson before they do something that'll get themselves or others killed.
>>1486850https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNd9-sRgoyk&disable_polymer=1meanwhile this is the average leftist like YOU,do you enjoy being a racist hypocrite karen?do you?but its funny how you literally put teens up on the pedestal while you yourself are a filthy pathetic piece of crap that's openly racist.

>>1486874>>1486875>>1486876Samefagging intensifies
>>1486876>It's okay to assault and jail teenage protestors for *looks down, checks notes* walking out of school and having different opinions from me. I am openly admitting I think due process shouldn't extend to people I hate, because I am an unbelievable soft-brained fascist fuckwit.
>>1486889you're the ones who said someone should die for having opinions you dislike. trans people have doxed people just for donating to republicans.so what's so wrong about doing the same to YOUdon't use the whole "oh how could you be so inhumane to another human" sthick when you're a hypocritical piece of crap
