Casey Heynes, the kid that got bullied in school (Australia).
Defended himself in a rather obnoxious way, probably blinded by anger at some point knowing that it was filmed.
Being blinded by anger is for some people a reason to stop thinking as they often react impulsive on what is the final drop to them.

They punished both the kids, but then again .. I find that they shouldn't have punished Casey Heynes.. Instead they should leave him alone and have him sent to a Psychologist for care.. Telling him what he did wrong and what the consequences could have been if the other kid his neck would have snapped, maybe shock Heynes a bit with that confrontation.

Now, is it me or not?
I find Casey's response pretty normal seeying it as a way of self-defense and probably he was sickened by being a constant object of bullying.
It is normal for humans that victims often may turn into victimizers and it is a response that often occurs.. I just don't see why they should punish a child that got sick of it and defended himself.. I have a feeling to it that Psychology went totally in the dark there.

It is appalling to me to know that many in fact get punished and are seen as pure evil.. While they simply defended theirself and should be somehow praised.

Do other members on here see it the same way, or do you think that Heynes is an evil kid .. ?

I'll be happy to read a few responses.

down the rabbit hole
Everyone has a breaking point. When pushed to it a person is still accountable for his/her actions. However, I can sympathize. I was bullied in school and at certain low points I thought "surely, they have to go or I have to". I didn't follow through in harming anyone or committing suicide but I think I was close at some points. I do find it absurd that if that kid had harmed himself instead of lashing out the public would have sympathy for him instead of vilifying him.
