Sure the bully could have got a broken neck from being slammed on the ground but it is also a possibility that would have happened if he was punched too. Look at where the bully is standing, right in front of the wooden ledge. If he was punched he could have fallen and broken his neck too. That's why all this speculation is pointless. Anything could have happened... But onto the situation, I am glad Casey stood up to the bully. Standing for what is right takes a lot of courage (although Casey more likely snapped instead of it being courage). Exactly, the punching could have been more dangerous... easily. The bodyslam wasn't even that bad, he did not fall on his neck and head as everyone thinks. The impact was surprisingly well distributed, which was probably an accident on its own (Luckily for that kid)... Or Casey is a pro wrestler and he knows how to slam people without killing them lol | ||

Am I the only one who thinks that violence seriously could be the answer when justifiable? I'm not saying it's the only answer, or even the preferred one, but I'll be damned if I think anything Casey did was wrong. If I don't think what he did was wrong, then I certainly cant condone punishing him just to try to prove some ridiculous idea. The school officals should have stopped this years ago and he shouldn't have had to defend himself in the first place. They are practically punishing him for their own incompetence. | ||

Casey didn't even want to fight, but he took whatever course of action would get him out of that dangerous situation. The kid is literally and figuratively fighting for himself against who knows how many bullies at that school, and all most of you can say is that he "took it too far"? What a joke. | ||

Bullying is one of the most damaging forms of harassment a child can go through, both physically and mentally. What Casey did was pure self-defense. Had Casey reacted in that way after receiving a few names or slurs then he would be at fault, but the other kid threw the first punch. I even give him more credit for waiting that long AND only attacking once. It's very easy to get caught up in the moment, especially in a state of anger, and continue attacking after out of a state of self-defense. There is 0 brain damage done by that... People are blowing the slam out of proportion, the kid had a bloody mouth at worst. | ||

Not saying all teachers are like this, but so many think their students are just perfect little angels and get along so nicely... | ||

Also the motivations for Casey's actions aren't that convincing of self-defense (I would argue that they are however). | ||

I feel this kid, cause I was bullied once and ever since I punched that little fat fuck who always bullied me in the face and his nose bled, he left me alone. Sometimes its just worth risking a little just to be left alone from bullies. | ||

I've never, through my entire schooling life (4th year university atm) seen someone being physically bullied. Or heard about it around where I live. Some places have very strict policies against bullying (insta expulsion where i live), while some pretty much promote it. (2 day suspension, and only with 100 witnesses) So while it's not a US only thing, it does vary ALOT by location. Not seeing bullying doesn't make you a bully either.  | ||

Kid's need to deal with the consequences first hand before they learn anything IMO. | ||

But what is that older girl in the back doing? Standing there watching a group of people gang up on someone and then after its over saying i think you need to back off. People like her is the main reason bullying exist. | ||

It's not like I'm an old grandma who forgot how it was back then... My high school years are not that far back and I can tell you for a fact that this didn't happen. Not to me, not to any of my friends, or classmates, not to my brothers, not to my friends' brothers, or my brothers' friends, not to anyone. And I don't know what this nonsense is about teachers and their views on their students. I know which of my students get drunk on weekends, I know which ones smoke weed, and a lot more than that. But ok, I missed the part where it said it was in Australia. So I guess it's not a US-only thing. Nevertheless, it's pretty common in the US as well judging by the comments from Americans in this thread and from the pop-culture references I've been able to grab (The Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle, etc..) And I stand by my statement that this is not a common thing in France. At all. | ||
