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?

School Fight Video Makes Bullying Victim an Internet Celebrity

MyFoxHouston - It’s a tough video to watch -- an apparent victim of school bullying fights back, throwing a peer to the ground in a “pile driver” type move.
The video was shot at a school in Sydney, Australia. After that, it was uploaded to YouTube and seen around the world in a matter of hours thanks to Facebook.
In the video, several students, including the one holding the camera, appear to be taunting a larger boy in a school courtyard while a few girls look on. One of the boys even throws a couple punches as the larger boy stands there and takes it.
Eventually, the larger boy (identified as Casey) gives in and picks up the alleged bully, throwing him to the ground with great force. The video ends with the alleged bully limping away.
One report suggests the alleged bully hit the ground with such great force that he broke his ankle. Another article , however, indicates the thrown student only suffered a bruised knee.
Both students were later suspended for several days, as per school policy.
Most of the Internet community is praising the bullying victim , saying he stood up for himself. Supporters also say he should not have been suspended. Several Facbeook pages have been set up in his honor calling him “Casey the Punisher.”
It’s difficult to say without a doubt that Casey was indeed a victim of bullying. The video only runs about 45 seconds long, so it could have been taken out of context.
What is known is that the Australian school appears to have a “zero tolerance” policy when it comes to school violence, and both students will be back in class in a matter of days.
In the meantime, Casey seems to be enjoying his 15 minutes of Internet fame.
! Getting a beat down like that is probably the most efficient way for that skinny punk to learn his lesson.
