If you read the comments, people are debating if the professor had a right to do that and if what he did is acceptable

My personal initial reaction is, bravo. I am so sick of cell phones ringing everywhere, and of people talking on them everywhere. I can't believe the student actually answered it and started a conversation-that's how it appears in the video. For those of you in college-does that actually go on in class? Are there stated policies regarding cell phones in class?
A few comments
"Class disruption is not grounds for destruction of private property. The teacher should have asked the student to leave the room and left it at that; getting violent over the situation only shows how unprofessional the teacher is. If that's 'one of the best' at the school, then the school has some pretty low standards. Schools are supposed to educate students how to be better people, not get violent over something as small as a cell phone class disruption."
"It was private property until it rang, then it became a public nuisance. Disposing of a public nuisance is praiseworthy."
"Perhaps it was an mistargeted reaction but, in his defense, the appropriate thing to do would have been to beat the shit out of him in front of his parents and then beat his parents twice as hard. Anybody that clueless and rude needs a very demonstrative awakening offered to them to. He got it. And I'm glad. Hopefully he realizes just how socially retarded he truly is, and how miserably his parents failed him."
"I agree with Lordofcat, I think the rational and better decision would have been a warning of some sort. But still I kind of enjoy seeing the professor having the guts to punish the moron student."
Ok, maybe he could have and should have given him a warning first. He reacted out of anger but I do understand his anger completely-the student was being so rude and disrespectful. I enjoy seeing him have the "guts" to do that too, so many times I want to smash someone's cell phone. I bet the professor had to pay if he damaged it. Would it be possible for the student to sue?
