especially in this case. The results are laughable. But it seems both boys were suspended from school and perhaps a lesson was learned.

Bloody good on him! He should've knee-dumped him while he had him down, i would have. But, it's admirable that he didn't really - just stopped the bully and then backed off.

What fascinated me was that no-one tried to intervene until it was over. They all just stood around watching, and filming, until the kid hit back, then another one stepped in to stop him doing any more. (Which he wasn't going to anyway).

Stupid little twat for taking on someone twice his size. He was lucky he could stand up after that. Never try the patience of a patient man.

Apparently, what we see here was the result of three years bullying and abuse of this kid by a gang of little thugs and the school did nothing about it - until now.

The Principal claims that they don't have a bullying problem in their school. Twat!

Thanks for that, Kiwi. I followed the links, saw the interview with Casey and read the comments.

It puzzles me that the majority shows so much common sense, yet we kowtow to the PC brigade. Of course that is another form of bullying, which incidentally is denied.

Hugs
