Kid has enough, destroys bully, gets suspension

[Mace Bloodstone]

I saw the video on the news, the skinny kid was a damn fool.. Usually it's the other way around, big kid picking on the little kid.

Just wanted to pop in and say Casey is my hero.

Now onto another matter: I don't think this whole "Stop Bullying" campaign that's been going around for a while is going to work. Its heart is in the right place, for sure, but there is no way to stop people from being cruel, disgusting, and vile to one another. That's not to say nothing should be done, but what is being done right now just isn't going to cut it. The bullies will just laugh in those people's faces and keep doing what they're doing. I've seen it myself. My mom was the school counselor at my junior high when I was in 8th grade. And her main focus was to end bullying. One day she came in and did this whole presentation about bullying and how wrong it is. And do you know what happened? Right after she left, those dip****s started mocking all she had said. Nothing changed.

Exactly. What we should do, is to teach wrestling moves to anyone that is being bullied.

As cool as this kid is, he's quite lucky. Everyone's hailing him a hero, that's awesome and all but if that little f***'s body would have been turned just slightly more to his side, his neck would have snapped.

Then it would have been Casey the murderer! Video games would have likely been blamed, and Rockstar sued, for some reason.

What a difference a couple of inches make. And yes, that's what she said.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

lol at the "he's stumbling around like a newborn horse" comments. But yeah, it's actually pretty scary how is ankle slammed against that little step.

Fine line with this ****. You can go from being the hero standing up to the bully to the Columbine kids.

I don't really think the line is that fine.

 

[terry78]

Basically people cheer it on so long as you don't cross over the boundary by killing or crippling your nemesis for life or some ****.

Not really, we have sensible gun control legislation and an intelligent attitude to firearms generally.

...maybe in Queensland. Even then they're still GENERALLY sensible.

When my dad was a young man, he was playing pool at a bar. All of a sudden this guy walks in. He's a youth boxing champion, and he takes advantage of his talents by bullying everyone. He goes up to my dad and says "Step aside, I'm playing now". Big mistake, because my dad had a horrible temper back then. So my dad smacks him round the face with the pool cue. Broken nose, breathing impaired, boxing career ended.

Justice? I think so. That guy had talent, but he used it for evil, so he lost it.

The scrawny punk will have learned two lessons:

1) Don't bully.
2) Don't bully someone double your size and strength.

End thread.

We don't need guns. We just stab people. t:

I hate to say it; but I bet if this happened in the US, a gun would have been involved afterwards courtesy of the bully.

Not at all. Statistically speaking, the only difference between the US and "gun-free" Western nations is that in the "gun free" countries, people get stabbed instead of shot during violent crimes. If one of the kids actually had gone off the deep end and decided to resort to lethal force, they would have used a knife. There'd still be a media outrage over the incident if one of the kids got killed from it.

it doesnt pay to be a bully... awesome

The "Maybe in Queensland" was more a reference to your more liberal gun laws, with the "GENERALLY sensible" bit referring more to a comparison of gun nuts with the US. Far less extreme gun nutbags, which means less kids with access.

Can't say I blame the kid for fighting back.

I was regularly bullied by bigger kids, and it took me knocking 1 of them in the side of the head with a metal lunchbox that cut him open, to make them leave me alone. That was after 3 months of me trying everything I knew to stay away from them. This included me running home instead of walking, jumping people's back yard fences, anything I could think of to get away. They would pursue me, knock me down, throw my stuff all around, and laugh at me. Finally, when I cole cocked the ringleader with my metal David Carradine Kung Fu lunch box (ironic) he and the rest of them left me alone.

Sometimes a bully only understands force.

Ixnay on the Alityquay Eerbay, or they'll start wanting it...

I say chaps isn't that Fosters a treat, I certainl wouldn't have any issues with drinking that. It doesn't taste remotely like goat urine...

Bullies fear the wrath of David Carradine...

If I was given a time machine and told i could only have three trips to the past, I would pick that scene with your dad as one of them, that is how much i like this story.
That is justice, and if there is a God above us setting up the skittles, he gave your dad that temper at that point in time, just so's he could take care of that guy. As old Zach De La Rocha said so eloquently, 'anger is a gift', y'know, it is, you just have to know when it is appropriate to use it. Just like Timstuff said earlier, about him shouting down that bully, it depends on the situation how you use that anger. It was not the best option for him to use force in his situation, but it was for the one with your dad, that guy was abusing his power, just as you said, and had to be taken down. Who knows how many people he would have messed up over the succeeding years. Did your dad know he would take him out of the boxing game for good? No, that was down to fate, God, whatever, but it sounds like it had to be done.

"Oh no, I can't pick on that scrawny-looking shy kid because some washed up actor might choke himself to death while *********ing near me."

Yep, sounds effective.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

SuperFerret got bullied in high school once.

He is now wanted in 12 different states.

 

[SuperFerret]

I was bullied constantly as a kid. I'm stronger for it now. Bullying is a necessary evil in growing up. This kid was one of the ones that got the right message.
