Teen Bully Video: Casey Heynes Body Slams Smaller Bully on Concrete!
March 15, 2011 05:25 PM EDT

A teen bully video has surfaced as the newest YouTube video. An Australian student, Casey Heynes, has become a poster boy for anti-bullying. Heynes was captured on the bully video body slamming his bully after he hit him in the face.

The bully, who was much smaller than Heynes, taunted him relentlessly after school. The other kids laughed and videotaped the teen bully video that surfaced. After much taunting, Heynes got fed up with his bully, and he picked up and slammed him onto the concrete.

Usually the teen bully would be scrutinized for picking on someone smaller than his size; however, this bully is being cheered for. People are sick and tired of seeing bullies pick unmercifully. Who cares if the bully is smaller than you!

At this time, there have been no confirmed reports of what happened to the bully after he was thrown on the concrete. However, he looked injured. It has been determined that Casey Heynes did get suspended from school after his body slamming episode.

Unfortunately, the kid that was doing the bullying received no punishment. It has been reported that Heynes may be facing criminal charges.

One of Casey’s friend’s father gave this information on the YouTube teen bully video page: “This 16 year old kid has been tormented every single day of his short high school life – and today he snapped!! He was suspended and may be looking at criminal charges, all because this little runt thought he could make an example of Casey in front of his “TUFF buddies!!”

Though what Casey did was wrong, he was sick and tired of the little bully. What is a teen to do when they are being bullied unmercifully? Apparently, the school system didn’t care.

A Facebook group has been formed to support Casey Heynes. He is now being called, “Casey the Punisher.” The members of the group are supporting him for fighting back. Unfortunately, some of the youth that are supporting Heynes are taking things too far. Remember what you publish on Facebook is public knowledge and will be seen by the world. It could come back to bite you.

Recently, President Obama held an anti-bullying campaign last week to address the growing bullying problem in America. What can be done to stop this? Are the schools listening to the students that are being bullied?

So, was Casey Heynes in the right, was he in the wrong? Is this the only way to solve the bullying problem? First off, I think it's bullshit that Casey got suspended from school and may be facing criminal charges. I don't know what the rules are in Australia, but in the United States, you very well could make an argument for self defense. The bully kept hitting him and at first Casey blocked him, but the bully didn't let up, so Casey body slammed him to teach him a lesson. This was also apparently an ongoing thing that came to a head.

As for the bullying problem, TBH this may be the only way to stop school bullying. Running to the teachers, administrators, whatever doesn't work. In School Suspension, School Suspension, Detention etc. doesn't work. Honestly I would recommend parents who has kids who are victims of bullying to teach them some form of martial arts, and to teach them to only use it in self defense. Let the bully try to get a few shots in, block his attempts and if he doesn't let him, punch him.

Thoughts?

Something similar happened to me when I was in first grade.

You get punished as the bigger person in a fight no matter that it was self defense...

In the United States, many schools have a "Zero Tolerance" policy, so both kids get punished. It's basically a way for administrators to pussy out of figuring out what the Hel went down and who to punish whom for what. Zero Tolerance Policies doesn't work when it comes to bullying.

Zero tolerance policies are useless and harmful period. Kids get into fights. Its nothing to be concerned over.

As to the video: That little runt had it coming, and the big kid shouldn't be punished for anything.

This kid did EXACTLY what should have been done. Passively held his ground and let the bully smack him around and (presumably, I couldn't hear much) after asking him to stop, whipped out the WWE moves on the asshole.
This kid should be given a medal, not punished.

Hell that kid should be giving after school lessons on self defense.

Also, am I the only one who wants to put in the "Finish Him....Fatality" voice over (from Mortal Kombat) into the video?

[Tradeing states]

As a former bully, (One day a kid fought back, hard!) I believe now, that both need punished.

[Shakal]

No fault on his part at all. I had to do a similar thing but there were more bullies. However the teachers all knew how badly the boys treated me so it was kind of shoved aside. I faced a larger issue with that apparently it was a hate crime because they were of native ancestry, but we are not going to delve into that...

[Trollgaard]

Uh, no. Neither really need to be punished. It was handled themselves. The bully got his ass handed to him. Problem solved.

[Teotan]

Burros... No disrespect, teachers, but this is proof that your justice system isn't working. I don't know what to do but I do know what not to.

Why the Hel do both need to be punished? The little shit started it, Casey let him slap him around some, block some of his shot and presumably asked him to stop before body slamming him. If anything, the little shit needs to be spanked, and spanked hard for being such a little shit.

Casey was NOT in the wrong on this one, and we have video evidence to prove it.

[Ragnarsdomr]

[internet toughguy]What a pansy. A real man would've curbstomped that little shithole and all his friends. Obviously this kid should be imprisoned for life for having mercy.[/internet toughguy]

In all seriousness, kudos to him. As someone who, even in grade 12, is still considered 'scary big', I've always had to pussyfoot my way around smaller kids because apparently their heads only came up to my shoulders for the longest time. And apparently body checking someone in the head in hockey is against the rules or something. So, as usual, I got blamed for everything, including being attacked by three kids on the ice at once. So, I can sympathize with this guy, and all I can say is: keep at it, man. Put the fear of Odin your mighty biceps into them.


Also, did anyone notice how they referred to the guy as a 'larger bully'? I mean, what the fuck? Does this mean that, should Mexico invade America tomorrow, if America responds by kerploding Mexico's army, they'll be the 'larger aggressor'? Stupid media.

[Blau Stein]

Zero Tolerance policies are ridiculous. They make no sense, and they encourage the bully-victim roles. They encourage bullies because they know the kid is less likely to fight back, and the only punishment he will receive is if he is caught. It encourages a victim mentality in the kid being bullied because he is told if you resist or fight back you will be punished exactly the same as the kid harassing you.

[The 22nd Parallel]

Yeah I don't really think that the big kid should get all that shit for fighting back. That little asshole punched him in the face, so he should expect something in return, right? My personal opinion on stopping bullying is that weapons should be allowed and encouraged on schools grounds. If everyone had a gun, no one would fuck with anyone. Simple enough.

[Meldaria]

The weak deserve to die. It is the order of things. If you allow yourself to be bullied the bullying will continue. If someone tried to bully me there are five steps:

1. Move in close threateningly.

2. Allow a fearful expression to overcome your face as you appear to back down.

3. Spontaneous right elbow to center ribs, knocking out oxygen flow causing bully's guard to drop.

4. Right handed chop to jugular.

5. Knee to face, incapacitating "bully".

[Genivar]

When I snapped I slammed a kids head into the cafeteria table. I shit you not.

[Barringtonia]

I kind of suspect the little kid is not the main bully, a larger kid fronts up after and in these sorts of groups the main bully tends to send in his side-kicks to do the actual work.

I'd hope some form of investigation is held, you can't help but cheer a little for Casey there.

You know, I have no problem with adults arming themselves, they, in general, tend to have a better head on their shoulders....but kids? Nope, sorry. Hormones are more in control of the kid than his mind is. Like I said, victims of bullying should take up martial arts.

[Forsakia]

If he'd punched him back I wouldn't have had a problem. Dropping him on concrete (and he damn near dropped him on his head) not so much.

[Sremski okrug]

Epic win.

At least the kid will think twice before picking on him again.

[Grainne Ni Malley]

Ah yes, saw that just last night. I have a replaying dub in my head of The Simpsons' Nelson going "Ha Ha!".

First thought: What is that scrawny little dipstick thinking picking on a boy twice his size? Yes, I'm exaggerating.
Second thought: That kid is just standing there. You can sense something is about to go very wrong for the toothpick.
Third thought: Ow. Damn. That's what you get.

Not very adult of me, but having been the kid that got picked on throughout grade school and eventually avenged herself by giving another girl a bloody nose, I feel a sort of kinship with this kid.

[Soviet Haaregrad]

Beat bullies until they stop twitching or they don't stop. The only thing the bigger kid did wrong was not stomping his head to ensure the threat had been neutralized.

[Wilgrove]

You do have to wonder how much bodily damage the little shit sustained though. You just know there's going to be a lawsuit relating to this somewhere down the line.

^ This too. I have yet to really snap but when I do Im probably goin to curb stomp the entire group of people around me
