Kid Becomes "Little Zangief" in Response to Bullying

[Tom Phoenix]

well you know, the guile theme goes with everything

Indeed.

While slamming him into the ground was kind of excessive, I can't blame Casey for his response. Considering he was subject to bullying for a long time, its actually suprising he only did what he did.

Either way, while I am glad he isn't seriously injured or even dead, the bully got what he deserved and I am glad the school authorities reacted in kind.

Proud of this guy. Stood up for himself. Anyone saying he "could" have broken the bully's neck, he didn't. There is no "could," only didn't.

Wait? his mother doesn't want a video of her son picking on a MUCH larger kid posted everywhere so the BULLIED kid should apologize?

Ahem.... FUCK YOU WOMAN! The world doesn't always work the way you want it to, and don't forget that YOUR kid was the little shit that was picking on others. Your kid doesn't deserve an apology, he doesn't deserve anything of the sort

The mother asked for her son, the bully, to apologize, not for Casey to do so.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. Every child should learn to take a piledriver; it builds character. Why, when I t'were a lad I was piledrivered on two seperate occasions, three miles through rain and snow (uphill both ways, naturally), and it never did me any harm.

Hang on, where am I? Who am I? Who's that angry man in a trilby?

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?

Actually to me it looked like Casey was making a move to grab him or do something and the short one got into the wrong position where the only thing that could have happened was him being lifted up like that. I don't think Casey was thinking to himself "i'm gonna choke slam this *****!" he was just going to do anything he could to hurt him at that point.

I still have to say that the school is wrong to suspend him though. I mean really? punishing him for defending himself? (like i said i don't think Casey was intended to do EXACTLY what he did, he just wanted to do something) He didn't even go back in for seconds. He said I'm done. Leave me alone.

Besides that short kid was stupid to pick on someone so much bigger than him in the first place, that's right up there with harass a bear on the scale of what not to do if you want to live past 20.

Although i have to say, the first time i watched this it was hilarious, the next two times it made me wince a bit realizing just how sad the overall situation was and that this kid had apparently waited so long for the bully to back off when it looks like he knew that he could have destroyed him at any point (and if he didn't he sure as hell does now).

But yeah, this thing was posted yesterday in a different thread (i didn't watch it then) and someone said something about the bullies friend holding the camera. So yeah i just supported my argument with "i heard someone say..." but i don't think it looked suspicious. (besides, it's not uncommon to have a camera phone)

I Love this. This gives me hope for the future!

I was bullied in hight school and unfortunantly sometimes violence is the only viable way to stop it, better to solve it with hand to hand violence than let casey get so whacked out that he brings a gun to school and shoots little Ritchie. My bully did'nt stop till i strangled him.

to deliver a pile-driver to the smaller boy.

Have to do it -

Not a piledriver or a suplex, that's a powerbomb. The Piledriver is holding the kid so when you kneel down it smashes his head into the concrete (probable spine injury), the suplex is lifting him and bringing him down with your own bodyweight (major back injury), the powerbomb is lifting and throwing.
Piledriver:

Suplex:

And Zangief never does a straight powerbomb, only a flying powerbomb. It's actually Alex that does the powerbomb. (which will knock the wind out of you, but lands you clean on your back; for Casey to have done a piledriver, he'd have to catch the bully's head between his legs and dropped)

And that's the bottom line...

The bullies family is sueing the school, and Casey (the large boys') family over this.

Fuck them.

Also, peope complaining about how he 'could have broken his neck', you could get hit by a car on the way to work today. A plane could drop on you from the sky. Speak not of coulds.

The boy, Casey, wasn't thinking rationally or clearly. He was being bullied, he got pushed as far as he could go, he was punched THREE TIMES, and he pushed BACK. He wasn't even trying to piledrive him, he just flipped the guy over and then slapped him back onto the ground.

Having been in this situation myself, I'm sorry to say I only pushed my smaller bully, sending him flying. We both got in school suspension for several days.

Never fucking bothered me again though.

Link? Proof? Evidence? Anything to make this claim more than just a claim?

Please?

it says the motehr wants her child to apologise to casey.

I doubt they have a leg to stand on, not with the video showing that the other kid caused the incident and that the kid had punched him twice and was going for a third strike.

The boy, Casey, wasn't thinking rationally or clearly. He was being bullied, he got pushed as far as he could go, he was punched THREE TIMES, and he pushed BACK. He wasn't even trying to piledrive him, he just flipped the guy over and then slapped him back onto the ground.

Yeah that pretty much my thoughts on the situation. People are berating him for powerbombing the kid however it doesn't look like the big fellow was trying to do it. Looked more like it just happened in the confusion. The kid didn't look like he had much ill intentions, if he had... I'm sure he wouldn't have stopped at the throw.

Aye I think we've all been there and we all know the more successful way of stopping bullies. Though when it came to my bullying, I'm doubting you could call what I did self defense, however it certainly got the job done.

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

I think the bully got what was coming to him to be honest. The schools often don't do enough to prevent bullying in my experience, despite PR.

However, as to the attention the video has received -- yeah, I find it disgusting. Too many are glorifying the violence like a football match on TV, and it really makes me wonder. That boy was right to defend himself from physical abuse, yet it is not right to encourage violence in children, and I've been seeing a lot of that on social media.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Ohh it's the large guy who was being bullied all the time. I though when I 1st saw this it was the little kid who always got bullied and decided to shoot back..... getting his but whooped.
Well now that I think I've been set straight good of him to fight back against the bully.... and totally owning him.
This is a message to all the little punks who think they can bully whoever they want. Theres always a big kid, and he will slam your face into a concrete slab.
To many of those little wigger punks when I was in high school, probably still is. Not that I ever had a problem dealing with them, hehe.

 

[PunkRex]

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

Guy have you ever worked at a school? They cant do shi-at!!!

Unless things are different in Oz, I dont know I live in the UK so apologies if so.

 

[anyGould]

bully got schooled, bully deserved to get schooled. Im just really glad no one was seriously hurt, because it could easily have gone terribly wrong, and casey would undoubtely be facing charges if it had.

-m

Two words - Self. Defense.

Watch that video again. It's completely obvious who's starting the fight. Casey takes a few punches and stands there. Blocks a few. Ritchard is the aggressor, Casey is defending himself. Prosecutor would be hard-pressed to get a conviction on that.

Ritchard wanted a fight, and found out he didn't like it when Casey obliged him. Nuff said.

She wants her son to apologize to Casey. It is the other way around. I'd edit that.

You do realise you've read that completely wrong? Let me just quote...

The mother of the bully recently went on Australian TV and said that she wanted her son to apologize to Casey, saying of the viral video "We don't need this posted everywhere. I would like him to apologize."

Note. The mother of the bully wanted her son (i.e. the bully) to apologise to the other kid, Casey, i.e. the one who was bullied. She wants her son to apologise to the victim. Which is something I think we can all agree is a good thing, right?

Pooooooooooor Jono, *tut* *tut* *tut* if you can hear me can you please tell me the identity of your avatar, I know ive seen him before but I cant place it?

 

[anyGould]

I don't know how Casey's parents are handling the situation but I would hope, I imagine you would be similar in opinion here, that they are at least reminding their son that violence isn't always the answer and that he should always try to avoid the conflict instead of taking part in it.

I know what my father would tell me - good job. (Or, if I remember properly "I know you wouldn't start a fight, so finish it.")

Before we all worry too much about our poor little bully, let's remember a few salient facts, shall we?

- Walking away doesn't work. It sounds good in theory, but you're at school - where are you going to go that they can't follow?

- The video was being recorded was being done by Ritchard's buddy. In the alternate universe where Casey just takes it (or runs away, or otherwise accepts it) where do you think that video would end up?

Kid had it coming. It's a shame he got hurt, but he started the fight, wouldn't let it drop, and then got his ass handed to him.

And on the plus side, I'll bet you Casey's school life just improved 10000%.

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


EDIT: Stop quoting me you're all saying the same thing over and over again and I'm sick of responding to it. Agree to disagree and all the jazz.

@Edit: No. You aren't required to respond to it, and the degree of pacifism in your response is insulting to anyone who's experienced such scenarios and extremely annoying to anyone believes in solving their problems through practical means rather than sitting around idealizing and hoping that they'll just magically disappear.

RE: The actual content of your post, we aren't celebrating an act of violence so much as an eye-grabbing response to something that many of us have experienced personally and didn't particularly enjoy, and that very rarely prompts such a variety of response.
