16 year old bullying a Syrian refugee with a broken arm, choking and waterboarding him

The bully will probably be rewarded get taken out on trips during class time to try help him, extra breaks etc.

Least that's how it was at my school (**** school BTW)

Horrible video, but bullying is just horrible my dad used to say to me the usual don't bully don't fight etc did say though if you do get hit fight back.

I know that's not easy for every one there was times I didn't out numbered or to be Frank I just wasn't as strong.

Feel for the kid, karma will happen to the bully at some stage in life
 
Kids need to be taught the life rules when it comes to bullies, and take a step back from the hysteria.

Everyone knows the laws of humanity, that the bad bullies generally end up in rubbish jobs, or a worse life in general as they age. The nerds/victims are usually the ones who strenghten, and flourish later on in life to go on and do better, more productive things.

It might help prevent some of the suicides from bullying. Just get to the end of crappy school, and that is when your life really starts. Such a shame parenting these days is so woeful.
 
You're missing the point - again - they're asking why other people feel the need to start a fund for this kid but not others who have suffered similar treatment. What's so special about this kid and not the thousands of others? They're arguing that this treatment doesn't warrant a fund being set up. Hence why they haven't set one up for others.

But charity doesn't work like that, I'm not a big one for giving money to causes but if I'm moved by some guys plight and decide to slip him a cheeky £20 why does that need to be weighed up against all other incidents of injustice and people falling on hard times that exist? Just because I give to one cause and not another doesn't invalidate my contribution, and the existence of other worthy causes doesn't compel me to fund them all at the risk of being called a hypocrite. That argument is akin to to classic "Well what's the point of fixing x because y is worse!", the existence of y doesn't mean x isn't a problem worth solving.

And how does giving this kid money solve any problem relating to him having been bullied?

If you want to donate money in regards to bullying there are a number of charities that deal with various aspects of the issue. Give it to them so they can help many instead of just one.

Thats a really good, persuasive argument. I might have to pinch it. :)
 
The media are begging to be regulated with the rubbish they put out these days.

I'm sure some of the stuff the media put out are inciting crimes, not least some of the videos they post that could fall under the obscene laws.

Perhaps it helps him move areas, maybe people are donating in recognition of everything he has struggled with not just the bullying, maybe it's a collective guilt relating to the fact he has come here and been treated so poorly by one of the donaters countrymen, it definitely shows solidarity and lets the kid kbow that he is supported by the public and that he isn't alone. I don't know, but i didn't donate. I can say that i struggle with the challenges of a normal life on a daily basis as do all people, few of them relate to money but i still feel £100k dropping in my bank account would probably improve my life. So even though the money does not directly solve the issue it will still almost certainly improve the guys life and, if spent well, future.

My point is why do people feel they have the right to tell people how they should be donating to charity. That money will do good for this boy (probably) is it the best use of the money? Maybe not, but why does that matter, efficiency of spend and return on investment is not the key point of charity for most people.

Sometimes i give money or food to homeless people, would that money be better utilised by a large charity? Maybe, but i don't care, it immediately and noticeably makes one persons life better.

So apparently he and a load of his mates were beating up a girl and he bit her in the head, and this kid gave him a brief kicking to teach him a lesson. According to Facebook and some potentially dubious sources.

Yes, I wonder if it's from an unbiased source...good to see Tommy asking everyone to calm down and determine exactly what actually happened
