It seems that usually the punishment is based on the result (therefore Casey was punished because he did the damage) as opposed to the cause (the bully). And THAT is ridiculous.

The consequences of their actions lies purely with the aggressor, and if they’re in excess of the injuries they inflicted on their target, THAT’S THE CONSEQUENCE OF BEING AN ASSHOLE. Casey is not a self-defense expert, and certainly didn’t even have time to evaluate the injuries that may come from his defensive action – nor should he! He responded to an attacker by defending himself, and didn’t continue to inflict any additional harm on his attacker when he was somewhat reassured that the attack wouldn’t continue. Case closed. He should get a pat on the back from EVERYONE for defending himself when it was necessary – the attacker should lick his very deserving wounds and take some severe punishment for instigating the attack, and Casey should be honored by his classmates.

I’m tired of society looking upon antagonists with any sort of sympathy. They turn into bullies in the workplace, and in most social situations they’re the ones everybody wishes were not invited because you don’t want to deal with the big-mouthed, classless, self-centered assholes. According the information I found, Casey (THE VICTIM) was the only person facing any disciplinary action related to this altercation, which is RIDICULOUS. Some misplaced liberal anti-violence sentiment is surely what lead to this, and the people that made the decision to punish Casey and ONLY Casey are unfit to teach and care for our children.

This is to say nothing of the longer lasting emotional scars that linger for a lifetime as a result of being tormented, assaulted, and ridiculed by someone that was never taught compassion or even “do unto others…” and the gaggle of blathering idiots that encourage them. It’s a complete miscarriage of justice, and an massive failure of logic to do anything other than punish the aggressor, and reward the victim for stopping the attack against him, and possibly against others. The victim FINALLY showed the attacker what his pathetic parents were not able to… there are consequences for your actions. If you walk across the street without looking, you might get a loud horn, or you might get killed, because of your own actions. and if you pick on Casey, you just might end up on the wrong end of a YouTube video that makes YOU look like the ass. He got what he deserved. If I could find Casey, I’d reward him tenfold in excess of the punishment to let him know that there are still sane people that recognize the need to defend ones self from the bottom dwellers of the world, and their offspring.

I have to say that I’d punish the instigator the most and Casey secondly. Casey defended himself, but also took a huge risk in bodyslamming that kid to the concrete. I mean, what if in dumping him, he broke his spine and paralyzed the instigator? That’s a big what-if that didn’t happen, but it’s seriously within the realm of possibility and so Casey deserves some punishment and criticism too.

thanks & keep it up!
