How can anyone from that video know this was a case of a “bullied kid” fighting back? It’s impossible to know who started what or how or why. We see the little guy punching the big guy, then the big guy body slams him. We see no lead up or if there were earlier punches thrown or what.
True that it is hard to derive much from the vid, but since it went viral it's been established that the big kid had been picked on by these kids (some of whom are heard in the background) over an extended period of time.
He happened to choose that day to draw a line.
In the news report I heard, Casey had contemplated suicide because of the bullying he was taking.
This has been covered quite a bit in the news over the last week or so, and the back story has been discussed. The big kid had been the victim of bullying for some time and finally decided it was enough. Even the bully’s mom said her son nwas wrong and deserved what he got.
It's very obvious to the rest of us, and if you look further you will find that the big kid has been picked on for years.
It looks like the little bully comes from a family of bullies, as his mother is insisting that the family of the big kid apologize to the bullies family..
The mothers actions are also those of a bully.
She feels humiliated because the video has gone viral and the bullies family is getting all sort of grief now that his victim has stood up for himself.
