School bullying

[Absinth]

Just saw this on today tonight, boy being bullied had enough and retaliates.... good for him, he finished the fight and walked away.

Great story to watch.
He'd been bullied since year 2 and is now in year 9.
THIS wasn't fighting, it was self defence.
Good on ya Casey.
3 cheers from me

I agree, it's self defense and good on him, standing up to the bully. Unfortunately it doesn't always go right. mysandman.com.au says "no" to bullying!!!

Good on him, once they have been body slammed the punk's leave you alone. All the best to him.

I think Casey has been watching the Wrestling on pay TV. Good on him

I'm cheering for Casey , that bully Richard Gale will be haunted by this for his whole life now. Sort of like George Mc FLy and Biff from back to the future.

I'm just disappointed Richard Gale , the bully, got away with a suspension.

I see the whole Today Tonight / Current Affair war has dredged this back up again, now claiming a different angle. How much money are the bully's parents going to rake in now? They shouldn't be paid for his side of the 'story' - it should be donated to non-profit anti-bullying campaigns

The "Bully" said that Casey tormented him.....

AS IF!!!
Look at the way the little smart arse was shaping up to Casey, and how Casey was up against the wall.IF Casey started it, i don't think he'd be up against the wall.
Also at one stage he was asked if he regreted it, the answer was no, then he looked to his father and changed the answer to yes.

Stud through his eyebrow at 12 years old, JUST to show his attitude.

I hear the "experts" on the radio etc saying that violence is not the way to deal with bullying, that there are other "tools" at kids disposal, and that the schools all have zero tolerance for bullying etc.

The ONLY language that bully's understand is getting a flogging, unfortunately. One idiot said that Casey should have held Richard in a bear hug until an adult came along. That would have lasted about a second and a half, until one of the bully pack gave him a couple that he wouldn't have been uble to defend himself from.

Yes, Casey is lucky that the little mongrel didn't get seriously hurt, but then Casey could easily have been knocked out and fell and hit his head on any of the numerous occaisions he was punched for no reason as well.

Unfortunately those precious little cowards will likely move onto another target, and make some else's life hell.

That's my soapbox, back down I get....!!!!

Yeah that kid is/was a bully, no doubt. The media and the net are now the bully towards that kid.
I think this sort of thing gets taken to ridiculous levels these days.
The internet is the biggest bully of the lot.
