If you look closely, his head didn't hit the ground first, but he slammed him on the floor and his ankles took the brunt of the force, one hit the ledge.
Bullying - Who's in the wrong here?

I noticed that too, could very easily have serious spinal injures had the angle been more perpendicular, not that I or anyone else really care what happens to bullys
Lol I was more saying it for his sake, wouldn't want a slam like that being on his conscious giving the guy spinal injurys/broken back etc - clean slate for the guy, only just tho...

Call the police? And what would you precisely ask them to do about it?
Something along the lines of "Hi, I've just been assaulted"?
AFAIK assault is still a crime?
I completely understand your viewpoint and I am totally torn tbh.
What if he did get it wrong and the kid landed on his neck and he had killed him?
The kid deserved what he got, that is for sure, but just Captain Hindsight will say what if he broke his neck...

I work in a school, I consider myself hardly naive.
Your personal experience doesn't mean you are automatically correct Nix. I was also bullied, a large amount of people that attended school were bullied in some form or another.
How this plays out next all depends on how he holds himself and how the school responds to this video and the publicity.
You will get bullies that bully off rader but I think the fact that this kid has stuck up for himself has made him better off than without making a stand.
The very fact that this video has been released on the internet shows that the school has a bullying problem (as I said before, most do!). But now the spot light has been directed at this school.

If it was an isolated incident, then yes, he overreacted, however everyone has a breaking point, and if he's had to deal with that kind of treatment for months or even years, I really don't blame him at all.
I'm sorry but getting bullied day in day out and finally snapping to me is not an anger problem.
It is the overwhelming pressure put on you and you finally snap.
And if he does have any anger issues, it's because bullies like that little **** gave them to him! I can't believe you are saying what he did was wrong. That kid completely deserved the **** beaten out of him, he must have made the kids life a misery.
wonder where he got that anger problem? Or should he have picked up the other kid and laid him down gently on the turf? People worrying about the speed at which he put the little tyke down need to get real tbh. It was hardly premeditated and it was certainly earned.
He was provoked and he reacted, hard luck to the skinny kid for losing so badly.

What I was thinking.
Theres reacting back and giving a proper beating but what he done was pretty serious could've been fatal really. Yes bullying is bad, but no one deserves to what could have been permanently paralysed.
Let me ask you a very simple question:
Have you ever been bullied?
Have you ever been made to feel so small and pathetic you valued dog **** above your own life?
When someone snaps, they reaffirm their ego. The bully deserved everything he got and more.
Stand and ****ing bang.

I snapped like that a school after a few years of ****. The bullying all but stopped after tbh.
Sometimes you have to stand up and say no more.

Yeah he should have taken the time to really consider what kind of smackdown would be the appropriate response taking into account all the local laws and ethical issues. That'd work.
Soldato
Exactly.
I'd wager that "I'd better not drop him too hard in case I seriously harm him" wasn't at the forefront of his mind when upending scrawny kid.
It was an instinctive reaction, not a Health and Safety Assessment.

If the little scrote is going to act like a uncivilised animal, then he deserves to be treated like one - in this case it's obvious he's prodding a bear.
Tough boobs as far as I'm concerned.

I understand,
But...what if that day, the bullied kid didnt react, he got a few more punches, and walked home. When he got home, he was so fed up of being bullied everyday, that he hung himself? Something that happens from bullying far too often.
So the bully can keep bullying the kid, with the chance he may take his own life, but its worse for the bullied kid to react and snap and possibly paralyse the bully?
Soldato
im sorry but that that is ridiculous. beat the bully down by all means. humiliate him in front of his friends, sure go for it. but dont body slam him head first in to the ****** concrete. What if something worse had happened? what if he paralyzed the boy? or snapped his neck and killed him? would you be saying the boy deserved it then? no you wouldnt. he's a little twirp impressing his mates, not a rapist.
I was in that fat kids shoes, once. I got bullied at school. I snapped like he did, and slammed the other kids head in to a wall. He had to be taken to hospital and honestly it was the most retarded thing i have ever done. I used my size, and temper, against somebody else and it could have ended up a whole lot worse.
I have never lashed out since. So no i dont advocate it at all, and hopefully now you understand why.
you can tell the big kid got bullied regularly by that little runt...just from one video? i doubt that some how.
right

Bingo.
You don't know his circumstances. He could have been bullied for years, and all of that anger had been building up inside every time another person bullied him. Sometimes you just can't help but snap and ruin a skinny kid.

The bigger kid was provoked, and in extreme circumstances one can even kill the other...seriously.
