A video clip has recently started circulating of Casey heynes, a 16 year old pupil of Chifley College's, St Marys North, Australia. Who is seen being physically assaulted by a much smaller bully called Ritchard, who punches him in the face, and multiple times in the stomach.

It's clear that Casey is outnumbered, there are at least 3 bullies, who have backed him up against a wall, purely (I'm assuming) due to his size.

After one strike lands, Casey snaps, lifts the much smaller kid up in the air, and slams him down hard, onto the concrete. Ritchard is seen stumbling to his feet, very unsteadily, while Casey tries to walk away, onto to be followed by 1 of the 3 bullies right at the end of the clip.

Casey was then suspended by the school, while Ritchard received no further punishment.

While I personally believe that it's rather unfortunate Casey slammed the kid onto concrete, I can certainly relate to him. When you tend to build up aggression, and release it, your body goes into autopilot. You quite literally have no other thought going through your mind other than:

:doom1: AAAAAAAAARGHHHH DESTRROOOOOYYYY :doom1:

However, you can tell that as soon as he slams Ritchard, he's immediately shocked, and looks straight back, unsure if the kid is OK. If he was doing it maliciously, he would kicked the kid while he was down. It was a perfect case of self defence if there ever was one:

Multiple aggresors
Backed up against a wall
Multiple punches, to the face and body

Plus, it would be safe to assume that there was bullying before the footage rolls, who knows if it was minutes, days or months.

I really hope the school is shown the footage, and reverses their decision to suspend Casey. While it is fucked up that Ritchard did get slammed hard onto concrete, you have to take into account Ritchard didn't get punished by the school.

This sends the wrong message: Defend yourself and you'll get punished for it.

A school should be a place for a kid to learn, grow and have fun. No kid deserves to be bullied like that, absolutely no kid. So Casey (in my mind) you did the right thing lad. :)

in a world were political correctness has taken priority over anything else, we are meant to say we understand his situation, but he was wrong to act on such a way etc etc.

I dont think it was wrong, we're not robots, we cant just switch off and ignore the situation. We're emotional beings that like any animal when provoked we lash out.

Like andsy said, we dont know how long this has been going on for, most likely since he started school. Verbal abuse is bad enough, it hurts a lot but you can shrug that off i you really try. When someone is in front of you punching you square in the face, with people laughing, in a place were your meant to be safe and protected...makes my blood boil that someone would punish him for it.

I hear the bully's family is going to try and sue as well. I think they should keep thier heads down and re-evaluate thier parenting methods.

i hear scientists reckon the vid is actually from last week. The reckon that the vibrations from the impact were actually what causes the tectonic plates to move resulting in the earthquake.

Proof that if you stare at oblivion in the face and taunt it, you better be ready for the consequences!

That is total bullshit. I really hope the school was/is shown the footage (even though it's now been removed from YouTube). If I was Casey, I'd use the footage to sue whoever I could: the kid, the school, etc.,....

Australia just gets more and more dangerous....


(I'm assuming this is the footage you were referring too? They took down the one in the article.)

All the video's have been removed now I think. But I saw it on facebook yesterday. And Casey did completely the right thing, bully got what he deserved etc etc. I blame the bullies parents, some people are so blind to what their kids are really like they just think they are little angels.

Something must be happening, maybe the rumours of it turning into a legal case are true, as Youtube are becoming more adament in taking down the footage.

I just hope that Casey is alright, and he can see the support he's getting from around the world. Being the victim of bullying is horrible enough, but being the victim of a f*cked up disciplinary system like that, is on a whole different level. All he did was protect himself.

Ugh, I've seen my share of completely disgusting, grotesque, and disturbing videos on the internet but when that kid hit the floor I totally cringed.
Here's a video that's still up with Guile's Theme playing over it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9q-QX_8wk

The skinny kid was suspended for 22 days.


It is funny as fuck though, there was one with wrestling commentary over it too that was pretty good but it's since been removed. :(

Here's the video from CBS.

I just gotta say, if you don't stand up yourself you'll end up taking it for the duration of schooling or getting hurt.

Damn what was that kid thinking, is he blind? That kid was double his size, I think people as a whole are getting more stupid every day sadly. Reminds me of my dog picking on dogs twice his size, except he's just a dog....and it always ends that way too.

It used to when he was smaller and picked on much larger dogs, they'd rag doll him, but it was on wood chips and not concrete. Very similar principle though, only my dog didn't wobble afterwards, he's shake himself and walk around, grab a drink of water, and look for a different dog.

ADTR - Yeah, but you're one tough son of a gun, Casey's just a quiet, introvert kid.

KingJames - You pup is a fight pup. :)

Thanks for the link dude, the full thing is floating around on the Interwebs now, but it was great to get a heads up :D

Let's just hope this attention doesn't go to his head. Stay humble, stay yourself lad.

Also, hope Ritchard doesn't get bullied over this, cos that kinda shit is likely to happen.

Yeah, kinda defeats the purpose of fighting against bullying when it goes that way.
