Bully gets it!

Although my quickest thought would be why bully at all. Realistically it does happen and at times the smaller yet slimmer one needs to protect himself because the larger kids normally take advantage. I don't think that after one hit anyone should allow a second though, because my thoughts is if you allow it once it will happen repeatedly. Although I am not recommending hitting between them I certainly would recommend defending oneself. Not doing so will lead to worse and continual abuse for the sake of laughter, which today we know there is no such thing as a simple punch anymore *sad*

yes he has become a national hero, maybe he is the answer to all the bulluing that is going on in schools these days....He has a facebook page someone setup and I think he has about 100,000 supporters... I must admit I did feel sorry for the boy was doing the bullying but just because of the way he was slammed down...but I don't think he will be doing it again...

Here's my thoughts on the matter. Who is the right mind picks on someone BIGGER than them? I some sick sense of justice, the little kid got what he deserved. But the problem is, I don't want to teach my own children that violence is the ONLY way to solve a bully problem. The bigger kid could have just ignored him, and walked away. So I feel the punishment both kids got was fair because we don't want to (fully) reward a violent act. Since the one being bullied only got 4 days and the bully got like 23...I think it's okay. Hopefully the kid doesn't get picked on anymore. Because that was one hell of a wrestling move he used on the small kid! I was teased in school, not exactly bullied. But I have 2 young boys of my own who are passive and sometimes would allow themselves to be pushed around. My oldest has the physical power to hurt someone, but was taught how to be passive with other people because he has a little brother and 2 younger cousins, so I am scared of him being put into a similar situation. ...and if some people didn't know. I heard on the news that the bully just had a scratch on his leg and it fine.

I saw that on TV last night. Yes, the larger boy did "take it" from the smaller boy for a few times...but then had enough and let him have it. I cheered for the larger boy! Bullying is terrible and why that little guy picked a much larger guy to bully is stupid of him, but he got what he deserved. Why can't kids stand up for themselves? Both got suspended, and I think that was wrong to suspend the larger kid just for defending himself. They probably said he should have called a teacher..yeah, like that would have made the kid stop bullying him. The teacher probably wouldnt have believed the larger kid...who'd a thunk it? A little kid bullying a larger kid! And yeah...bet that little kid will think a time or two before he bullys again. Sometimes that is what it takes to make them stop...some of their own medicine!

It appears now that there is a new development in this story. The big boy that body slammed the little skinny kid is now being alleged to have started the incident in the first place. The little kid and his dad are shown this morning on GMA saying that the big kid started the 'fight' by insulting the little kid. So, it looks like, once again, we cannot always trust the media to give us the truth at first telling. I hope this will be a learning opportunity for all of us.

I'm wondering why no one else has asked the question "where are all the teachers?" This is at school! Teachers are supposed to be standing outside their classrooms when the classes change, so why the hell is there not a teacher in sight? As far as the comment from the principal that violence isn't tolerated, it obviously IS tolerated, because this kid has been being picked on for quite some time and this is the first time he's fought back! As far as the comment, well, he could have just run away....yea, okay, and then tomorrow the same thing, and the next day and the next day and the next day! Good for him for putting that little jerk in his place! I have a son who is always the butt of the joke, always being picked on, and a kid can only take so much! To be tormented day in and day out is uncalled for! My son eventually got his revenge as well, my pushing the kid, who ended up falling down the bleachers in the gym. And I have absolutely NO sympathy for him! He has tormented my son for over a year, on a daily basis and school officials have done NOTHING! Yes, my son got suspended, but you know what.....the bullying stopped! The kid leaves him alone now! And my son has a big fat smile on his face again!

I think attitude makes a huge difference. I have a cat that used to chase big dogs away, with her attitude.

I haven't seen the video, but I agree that any big guy picking a fight should give the smaller guy his chance too. And then give him fair warning if he keeps on going after his chance is given. I've been bullied too a few times when I was young. But I was so oblivious that I never thought of it as bullying then.

I'm not sure I agree with the bigger kid using so much force on the smaller kid, but certainly he had the right to stand up to a bully, no matter what the size. Of course, it would have been better to just walk away or get an adult, but then he would have been labeled as a tattle-tale. Being a kid is never easy.

I'm actually surprised noone has mentioned it before now, but my other half and i were disgusted at the fact that someone would even think of uploading something like that to the net, and even more disgusted that nothing was done to stop it from leaking like it did, bullying is a serious problem worldwide and is only made worse when publicly paraded like it has been, i still havent heard of any punishment being handed to the holder of the camera, they certainly should be punished as there is no denying their indirect involvement... and they were more then likely the one who uploaded it...

If he was the bully, then I believe he got what he deserves. Good job larger boy!
