While I can't help but give the kid kudos for standing up for himself, I can't help but agree with Matt here.Matt_LRR said:
Kid Becomes "Little Zangief" in Response to Bullying

The law here in the US (I don't know what it is in Australia) is that if somebody throws the first punch, what ever you do to them afterwords is considered self defence, as long as it can be proven the other guy threw the first punch.Scott Bullock said:
oh man, that's the best thing i've ever seen!!
i haven't read all of the comments but to all the people on the first page... the bully's mom wanted him to appologize to lil zangief, not the other way around.
anyway, you go casey, pile-drive the shit outa those little monsters.

Well, the kid should be getting backed. Bullies deserve no mercy, and the schools never do enough, if anything at all. If he had killed him, so be it. Remember, a bully doesn't deserve to be called human or have human rights. They are sub human, to be treated as such. They gave up their right to be considered human when they decided to use other humans as their playthings. It does not matter the age. A bully never was good, and never can be.there exists nothing in them except pure evil. They have no place in society.
For the record I have dealt with intense bullying throughout my life so I'm speaking from my own personal experience. That's all I'm going to say. Now kindly agree to disagree, because otherwise you're just arguing for the sake of being an ass. I said I was done with this thread and I don't want to waste any more time on it.jonnosferatu said:
I know what it's like to be the fat kid. The day I took my power back was the day I didn't cry but sat on the bully and punched him till the teachers pulled me off. GO CASEY!
To the folks who are advocating "proportional response", you're missing an important point - Casey doesn't want to fight.
Throw a punch? Now you're fighting, you're involved, and you're playing their game.
Casey doesn't want to fight. So his goal isn't to "win the fight", it's to "make this guy stop bugging me". And I'd say he accomplished his goal in the most direct way possible.
1. He "hit" Ritchard *once*, and I'll betcha Ritchard will give him a nice wide berth after this.
2. Yes, Casey could have done serious damage. So don't you think Ritchard should thank his lucky stars that Casey *didn't* choose to drop him on his head?
3. And one more reminder - Ritchard doesn't get to complain about getting dropped on his ass. He started the fight.
So, let's review. Instead of throwing some punches, getting in trouble, and probably having to repeat this over and over again, he has likely solved his bullying issues for the rest of his stay at that school. Explain how this is a bad thing?

I was in a similar situation once. Kids half my size would pick on me for no other reason except they could outrun me. That little prick got what was coming to him. I do have two questions about the video.
1. How is it a perfect victory when little zangief got hit?
2. What street fighter character is the other kid?

Wow. Considering I live in Australia and watch the news, it's weird I didn't know about this. Must have missed it. :/
OT: Ha. Bully got what he deserved. This is the type of stuff the people who were/are bullied dream about.

As a man who was once to recipient to shit like this I congratulate him. I don't usually condone violence but their is a big difference between starting a fight and standing up for yourself the only way kids like that know. I did a similar thing myself it involved me a bully and several dented lockers.
The moral. Picking on the kid twice as big as you is stupid and you deserve what you get.

It's good to see this kid stand up for himself, especially given the situation. I doubt this was the first time those kids picked on Casey, otherwise that skinny little punk probably wouldn't have felt so confident slugging a guy twice his side. These bullies intended to humiliate Casey by filming him getting beat and maybe posting it online. So the fact that the tables were turned so completely, with the video of that scrawny punk's defeat being put up on youTube instead, is just plain awesome.
For those saying he shouldn't have piledriven the kid, I doubt that was planned. It just happened, and in his rage Casey wasn't exactly thinking about the safety of his opponent in a fight he didn't pick. He picked the first course of action that came to mind, and I'm not going to say something like "he should have just punched him instead." He did the right thing. Go Casey!

Casey took that bully out, LIKE A BOSS.
As others have said, just watching the video itself is enough to tell that Casey wasn't thinking 'I NEED TO PILEDRIVE THIS KID HEAD FIRST INTO THE GROUND' and that the reality was more like, 'Fuck you dude, I'm gonna hurt you so you stop'.
Honestly, when I first saw the vid, I just expected a flat out fist fight to break out or at BEST, the little kid to get slammed into the wall. That throw to the ground clearly was an inhibition brought about by the frustration OF said bullying.
Both of them are alive and 'that' is what matters. Casey gets a moment to realize that while what he did wasn't the best solution, it was likely his only solution at the moment. That kid is currently being publicly humiliated for being an asshole to Casey and if he doesn't come out of this LEARNING from it, then I say fuck him and let natural selection run its course on the bully.
It's not every day a kid gets to be somewhat of a hero. As long as Casey doesn't take this and turn it into a belief that HE could be the bully, that's all that matters. He's set a reputation for himself and it is plain and simple, 'Don't fuck with me'. And really, that's all 'any' kid could REALLY ask for in school.
Also, to the mother of the bully, give it up. Your kid deserves to feel stupid for this for the rest of his life. No one deserves to forget and lock away their mistakes. Know why? BECAUSE YOU LEARN NOT TO REPEAT THEM.
That video being around with be the best form of a reminder for your little fuckwit of a son to not act like an idiot again. And if you really think your son is all that great, I'm sure his facebook page would 'totally' agree with you.

Agreed. It's really awesome, but at the same time the kid in the hat (Little Terry?) could have been seriously injured. It would have gone alot differently if that'd happened, although most likely the internet would still be cheering for him.Matt_LRR said:
Been bullied, done the ignoring thing, realized it doesn't work. They never go away, and such an attitude leads to a life thinking you have to take all crap thrown your way. I have a lot of self confidnece issues after 12 years of that crappy indoroctination telling me I have to take it. No one wants a fight, but sometimes you gotta kick a little ass.
That said, I'll agree Casey was out of line as well. I don't know how close he came to cripling or killing the twerp, and I doubt he knows either, but you don't slam someone down on the concrete if you don't want to cause either of the above. Kick the balls, punch the gut, break the nose, but manslaughter isn't a great response to bullying.

The piledriver seemed a bit unneeded. One punch from casey could have knocked that kid flat on his ass.
