Judging by what is contained in the video, and that was an accurate representation of the event, I would not feel remorse for the actions. Maybe compassion for the bully's plight, but bad actors deserve their fate, no matter what it may be. Life sucks, and it sucks more if you make bad decissions. Being paralyzed because YOU bullied the wrong guy sucks for you, not for the person trying to put an end to a wrongful act.

It looked to me that the little guy was a pretty experience antogonist. The rope a dope with the left raised to distract from the right being cocked and ready makes me think this kid has some older brothers as well. It brought a special smile to my face to see him get his.

I don't think the little kid is enjoying the notoriety. He got his butt handed to him. That's never good. I think the big kid is actually a little bit of a hero now. I hope that his life has gotten better and easier.

It figures. The bully's mom wants an aplogy.
![]() The mother of an Australian bully who's become an Internet sensation for being body-slammed on video by one of his victims says she wants an apology. Footage of the fight shows seventh-grader Ritchard Gale tormenting, shoving and punching 10th-grader Casey Heynes at Chifley College in St. Marys North before the much-larger Heynes body slams Gale and walks away.* But Gale's mother, Tina, says she and her family are the victims, now that the video has gone viral, and she says Heynes owes her family an apology. "We don't need this posted everywhere," she told Australia's Seven Network on Wednesday. "I would like him to apologize." Tina said she while was "shocked" at Ritchard's behavior, she didn't think he deserved to be slammed to the ground. Neither boy suffered serious injuries in the fight. The video, which became an Internet sensation shortly after being posted, caused a surge of approval for Heynes, with many calling him a "hero" and nicknaming him "the Punisher" while dubbing Ritchard "The Rat." A Facebook page for "Casey Heynes - Public Figure" also has generated nearly 98,000 "likes." The school however did not pick sides in the fight and instead suspended both boys for four days. Trial attorney Lee Armstrong said that was a mistake and unfair to Heynes. "We understand that in the past he gets bullied every day... If this was like a Wii video game and we could control his limbs, that's exactly what one of us would have done," Armstrong told Fox News. "The fact that this smaller kid can't appreciate the difference in size between himself and a larger kid is his problem. This kid should not have been suspended." But defense attorney and former prosecutor Mark Eiglarsh said not suspending Heynes would have set a dangerous precedent. "This isn't just an isolated incident. This now becomes law in the school. Every other kid now is free if they're bullied not to do as they're told to turn the other cheek and go to their teachers but to lift up another kid, the bully, and slamming them to ground, risking paralysis or death," Eiglarsh told Fox News. The school said it will decide whether to subject the boys to further punishment after it completes an investigation. Last edited by A930Rocket; 03-17-2011 at 06:43 PM.. |

Wants an apology? What?!??! Honestly, the little bastard owes an apology to the big kid still despite getting his ass handed to him.
And, the big kid didn't film it or put it online or humiliate the little kid or the family. The little bastard brought it all on himself and still owes an apology to the big kid.

If the bully were paralyzed, who gives a rats a$$ in the hubs of hell. This is how bullies and degenerates need to be treated. The big kid was restrained, he subdued the threat and sent a message that good men and women, are courageous enough to subdue evil and suffer the consequences, whatever they may be. To bad the little a$$hats parents don't get it. So in 15 to 20 years when someone has had enough of little bully boy, and his days on earth are terminated, maybe his $hit for brains mom will get the fact that her spawn is a degenerate. The next guy may just terminate the little ba$tards stay on planet earth OR his parents will kick his little evil a$$ and allow him to be a productive member of the human race. Little $hits grow up to big $hits and buy that time to many innocents are at risk of collateral damage when the little pos is brought to justice.

Bullying Video: Boy Injures Student's Ankle | Chifley College
The Bully is 12, Dick the bruiser is 16. If he crippled him it would be Darwin in action. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Reading the article is pretty disappointing. I know England was much farther down the road of pusification than the US, but I was hoping Australia had resisted. |

You do realize this is in Australia, right?
Jake, I usually agree with you on most things, but on this one I don't. Leaving all emotion out of it, and just looking at the situation logically, I can't think of how this could have turned out any better. I don't buy the argument that "this will set the bully straight for life" - we all know people re-offend, even after severe punishment. But it does mean that the bigger kid will likely never get picked on again, and that's critical. If he had just punched back, it might have turned into a pushing-pulling-kicking-punching type of fight, with no clear winner. In this case, the big kid said no, not any more.

Welcome to the dumbest of Australia's school rules. My lads(14 &16), this time last year were 'approached' by 8 18-20yr olds on school grounds at lunch after my oldest son's girlfriend got into a verbal stouch with another girl. So to get back at my son's girlfriend she got her brothers and his friends to come to school. Well both my boy's against 8 others. My youngest is a kick boxer and my oldest has been lifting weights for some time and they both stay very fit for kart racing. One of the 'intruders' was hospitalized for a busted eye socket and 15 stitches and the others ran off bleeding and injured. My boy's suffered several hits and bruised faces etc.
The school called the police and both my lads were arrested for 'affray'. We are still going through the legal bs right now. The other mob still want to bash my kids, so they keep telling them on facebook so i have said to them if they are approached again, make it really count this time. If you are going to be arrested for defending yourself, you might as well make it worth it. Australian laws regarding self defense etc are bullsh$t.

I guess I just don't have enough fighting experience to understand. I'd like to see the kid that actually started it get his whoopin' now.
