Sorry I am with Sundae on this one. I totally understand the kid's response. I sympathis entirely. I've been in a similar situation to some earlier posters: having been bullied relentlessly by a pack of girls,led by one in particular (who'd fucking followed me from primary/junior school!) I kicked the crap out of her in the middle of our fourth form art class. Made her cry, snapped her necklace, humiliated her in front of her friends. I'll be honest. It felt good. really good.
But I still should not have done it. I completely lost control. Absolute blind rage. It worked. I wasn't bullied again in school, ever, by anyone. Total, uncontrolled rage as a means to achieve what I wanted ? Not a good lesson to learn.
Now I am not saying that the kid in the video was in an uncontrolled rage. Clearly he wasn't. But he does need to understand the potential for his strength to harm someone else.
What I find really disturbing about this thread is the righteous anger, or even glee over what is essentially a child, most likely a troubled child, being harmed. Harmed because of his own actions maybe. Brought it on himself, certainly. A child, being harmed by another child.
The 14 year old kid buried (not so very) deep in my mind does a double-take. Part of me is cheering the worm that turned. But part of me is wondering wtf is going on in the little lad's mind. And all of me winces at the very thought that I am watching his bone break.
What if that was your kid? It isn't just the kids of bad parents and broken homes who do that shit you know? Good kids, from loving families can go off the rails. Can start bullying others. Can feel powerless for whatever reason and start acting out. How the fuck would you feel if we were sitting here pronouncing awesome justice as your child rolls in pain?
