Kid Becomes "Little Zangief" in Response to Bullying

[Ubique]

I hate to be the guy to say this but
A CHILD ALMOST DIED.

No he didnt. Casey held on to the kid long enough for him to land horizontal. You could throw someone like that all day and they wouldnt break their neck.

Man, I wish I knew how to pile drive someone when I was his age. I remember being bullied in elementary school, and I even got shoved into the computer desks, a monitor fell on my head and the teacher was there, but she didn't do a damn thing. Then again in middle school by a different guy, and I ignored him, but it kept going on until finally I kicked him in the balls in front of all his friends, and then suddenly, it stopped. Like magic!

My point is is that all these "alternative methods" don't accomplish anything. Bullies like that kid will continue to poke and prod until they get a reaction out of you, so if you ignore them they will continue poking. I don't agree that a pile driver on concrete was necessarily the right answer; the bully is lucky to still have an intact neck, but standing up to him in general is definitely the only way.

Also, the fact that the bully had his friends surrounding him, and that he had one of his friends filming it makes me sick to my stomach.

Elementary school: It's the law of the jungle.

If you're not gunna stand-up for yourself, you can't expect anyone else to do it for you.

Oh come on, Anonymous... DDOSing the school? Why?

Because a Zero Tolerance policy is retarded?
Trust me I know

Zero Tolerance is by far the stupidest thing schools have ever done and in no way makes the school safer.

EDIT: AND FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME! IT WAS A FISHERMAN SUPLEX ESQUE MANUEVER! A BRAINBUSTER IF ANYTHING! ITS NOT A PILEDRIVER! Fucks sake [/Wrestling Nerd]

 

[VanityGirl]

It's good to see a kid stand up to a bully, but I'm just glad that the bully's neck wasn't broken. That was a dangerous move, awesome, but dangerous.

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

That pile driver was beautiful,it brought a tear to my eye :')
I'm pretty sure Casey is currently wrestling bears and grew a glorious beard+'stache combo.

We dont have bears in Australia. We can always import them, would be nice for our wildlife to see what the rest of the world thinks is dangerous

Standing up to bullies is always good, I dont care what anyone says. They are a blight on the schoolyard and if piledriving gets rid of even one of them, then it wasnt a wasted effort.

Yeah, Zero Tolerance policies in schools are probably the worst thing to happen to the educations system, ever. Children arrested for writing graffiti on desks, expelled for having toy guns, and suspended for defending themselves instead of sitting there and taking it or running to a teacher... I swear, if I'd grown up at a time when these policies were in place, I would probably be in prison instead of having a Chemical Engineering degree.

All respect to this kid. He acted in completely appropriate manner. He attempted to disuade the attacker with dialogue repeatedly, attempted to deflect the blows in the hope the attacker would leave. When this didn't work, he engaged in a single act of overwhelming violence designed to stop the attacks, now and forever.

If a teacher suspended my child for defending themselves, I will sue them. I don't care if I have a case. I'll sue them just to make their lives miserable and to force them to waste money defending themselves. I think I'm going to go guy an international calling card just to harass the school for its decision to suspend this kid.

This kind of behavior should be encouraged. When I have kids, I will show them this video as a demonstration of how to handle bullies.

 

[Nouw]

The Vimeo one is much better but this is good enough!

And as much as I love seeing a bully get his piece of the cake, that wasn't the right thing to do. Move on guys before Anon thinks further harassing the bully is 'justice.'

 

[kalt_13]

Casey is awesome!

I wish I had done that to my bullies when I was a kid. I just hope all the other bullies leave him alone now.

 

[Kuala BangoDango]

If you attack someone who bullies you, unless it really is in self-defense, you aren't much better than them.

So what exactly does qualify as "self-defense" to you? Should a victim wait until he has a knife in the belly or is shot before deciding "Ok, I'm in danger. Time to fight back...too late...I'm dying."

However, if you honestly think brute force needed to be used against a 4ft tall school yard bully who was lightly shoving someone, your being very immature.

I honestly think you didn't watch the video. That "light shoving" the bully was doing was in fact punches to the face and body of the victim. Perhaps you should watch it again?

 

[Siege_TF]

If these were adults at their work place I'd agree it wasn't the right thing to do, but they're school children, and school children are vicious little bastards. Better for Ritchard to get bodyslammed now than to get knifed in high school, eh? That would be tragic, this is merely amusing.

 

[McMullen]

I'm so glad that as a modern society we celebrate acts of violence rather than being, you know, civilized.

I really don't get why this has garnered so much attention though. Not the first time something like this has happened.

Simple: We wish we had done it ourselves, or done it as thoroughly, to our own versions of that scrawny little shit. Some of us, to varying degrees, are still just as spineless as we were back then, and derive such pleasure from confrontation on the internet and vicarious videotaped vengeance on those villains because those are the only arenas we're comfortable with. The better people among us grow up and move on, but the anger doesn't always go away completely, and it's always tempting to indulge that raging little teenager inside us that wants to get even with the world for not being better than it is.

That said, I don't think it's childish to say that what happened to that kid was so great an injustice next to the suicides, depression, and anxiety that his ilk contribute to the world. If they want to reduce the risk of their little game, there's a very simple way to do so: Don't. Fucking. Play it. It's unnecessary and does a great deal of long-lasting harm. Instead, why not try acting like human beings that are actually worth the time and energy that society invests in them? What's so hard about that?

 

[Sniper Team 4]

That looks painful. I actually winched when that kid hit the ground. If it wasn't for the impact, I also would say they staged this. Impressive, and Ritchard seems like an idiot for picking that fight. Loved how he couldn't get back up completely after it. And who tapes this?

Once again, Anonymous proves that they are no better than thugs and bullies themselves though.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

That had me rolling xD

I love watching bullies get their comeuppance.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Saw this days ago.
It's still good tho.

 

[TheCrownlessKing]

Can I get him in the next Street Fighter?

 

[spartan231490]

Now that I've finally seen the video, I have to revise my opinion. The school was right to suspend the kid. If he had lifted that kid any higher(which would have turned him more), it probably would have broken the kid's neck. Jeez, if you get punched in the face, you punch the kid back, you don't slam him into concrete. I'm amazed he got back up after that, lucky he's so small.
Side note: anyone else think it's weird that this just happened to be filmed?

 

[spartan231490]

Oh come on, Anonymous... DDOSing the school? Why?

It's not constructive, impressive, or even that difficult. It doesn't do anything useful, and is the equivalent of randomly punching people in the street when you see them do something slightly antisocial.

because anon is full of spoiled children throwing tantrums to get their way? That's my opinion. The school should have suspended the kid for that. It's one thing to stand up for yourself, another to throw a kid into concrete, that kid could've been seriously hurt.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

edit-

Looking more into it it sounds like the story presented here is right. Was the little guys fault.

On topic then, it was just idiotic for the guy to instigate something with someone much bigger than himself. If he were just after years of bullying trying to stand up to someone bigger than him, as I had heard elsewhere, that's one thing- but just trying to beat up on someone bigger than you without cause?

Too bad the guy who finished the fight got suspended.

 

[gphjr14]

Wish I knew what a piledriver when I was 10 8(

In Scotland all I knew was the classic headbutt and kick in the balls.

That's all you need, that or a jab to the throat.

 

[Ladette]

That is what we call "To dumb to live."

Starting a fight with a guy twice your size is beyond stupid, and nature rewards such stupidity with pain. And everything i've heard says that this isn't the first time the runt decided to mess with him. Sometimes you're just asking for it.
