It amazes me how some people go through life.
That was about as "self-defense" as it gets.
If he walked away, the little kid would have hit him again.
I call it bullying because you hear the other kids recording it and laughing at him. I'd bet anything that fat kid has become the school whipping boy and the little kid thought he mine as well join in since the fat kid wouldn't fight back(or so he thought). He probably let it go on for so long because there was a crowd of them messing with him.
It's justice that we love. A kid falling off his bike and breaking a leg is tragic. A kid being body slammed after starting a fight is awesome. You know how sometimes you'll watch the news and there's some story about some old man gets robbed, and you say something like "man I hope we find that guy and kill him." This is one of those times where that guy was found, and he was pwned by his own victim. This is a video showing the underdog winning in a world where they usually don't win.Again, I am amazed at the people who somehow find this funny. That we are part of a society that finds someone getting seriously hurt (actually two people) somehow laughable. This is the same kind of crap that has people laughing over people seriously injuring themselves while doing sports. That getting hurt is a joke.
I'm sorry but yes it does.Just because many of you may have had a similar experience and wished you could have donne the same does not validate any of this.
Encouraging bullied kids to pwn the fuck out of bullies is BAD? So now you're pro-bully? Are you also pro-terrorism? Should we boo the police when they find serial killers?You wonder why they keep taking it off YT? Because it sets a bad example that could get a LOT of kids hurt, some just to get an internet "lol" as they record and post it.
Killing someone for punching you just is not equitable.
Ninja, What's your solution to the on going problem this boy faced. Obviously no one in charge had helped him.
You know why we approved. We have been in the same situation and wished we'd done more. Stood up for ourselves.
Body slamming onto a planter was losing control. Like I said, a few inches more and that other kid could be dead.
not really bullying if you are picking on someone huge people seem to miss the point, real bullying involves fear, because the person being picked on has no recourse. this was a little brat picking a fight with someone who knew they could kick their ass but probably just held it back until then. i mean really that fat kid looked annoyed more than anything else.
labeling this bullying is just way out of line. this is standard school yard jerkery.
By the most skilled defensive fighter in the entire world.
When in doubt, put your money on the crazy guy. Crazy guy usually wins the fights.
Brock Lesnar won a lot of fights just by overpowering people and charging at them. He's not exactly the most skilled fighter.
Shaun, it does not VALIDATE it. It makes you feel better about it, but it is still going WAY beyond what was needed to end it there and then.
And encouraging kids to nearly KILL other ones, no matter WHO they are is bad. There will be others that will try something like this, somehow thinking it would be funny to get online (as evidenced by the LOLs here) or as some other form of vindication.
Nowhere have I agreed with what the little kid did. But what he did does not justify the level of hurt that was inflicted. The big guy has to learn that that was not the right thing to do (gone too far).
BTW, who was the big kid that came in right after the fight? Was he the one that egged on the little guy to fight? Was he the reason the fat kid put up with so much before he snapped? Was HE the reason he left as soon as he body slammed him? (knowing he might have to fight him as well)?
Bottom line is simple. Someone insulting your momma is reason enough to take a crowbar to their head. You have to be in control of yourself, even if action itself is validated. Striking back is validated, but not very honorable. Walking away would have been honorable (and the hardest thing to do).

he didn't kill him for calling his mamma fat. he fought back after being hit. once in the head and then in the body. oh and he did not kill him. he picked him up and slammed him. He didn't even kick, stomp or anything when he could have.
he showed a LOT of restraint.

Owned, though it looked pretty dangerous. If he slammed him head first into the concrete, it would have been disastrous.
