President Obama is so concerned about bullying that he filmed a video in which he admitted that he was the target of bullies back when he was a scrawny, jug-eared, half-black kid who might as well have posted a sign on his back that said “Kick me.”
But we’re off track. This is the story of Australian student Casey Heynes, a bullying victim who finally decided to do something about it.
The other kids laughed as they taped a much smaller bully repeatedly taunting and hitting Casey. The victim finally snapped, picked up the pint-sized bully and smashed him onto the sidewalk. The bully struggled to his feet and staggered away while Casey became an internet sensation.
President Obama, you might want to remember the example of Casey Heynes the next time Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez gang up to give you a wedgie.

this is AWESOME !!! My goodness, it's the first time I've seen it and I could watch it 1,000 more times. Over and over ... where's the .gif ?? I want to put it on repeat.
Kudos to the mom as well ... for making HER son apologize.
GREATEST AUSTRALIAN ALIVE TODAY!!

Followed closely by Andrew Bolt and Tim Blair.
when i saw this on red eye, i actually jumped out of my seat and screamed "F*CK YEA, PILE DRIVER!"
i havent seen a pile driver in forever, WWE banned it a decade ago, and so i only see it when taker, kane or lawler is wrestling.so this video made me happy.
O'Reilly said that he almost killed the kid, although it would have been unfortunate if he did seeing that Casey wouldn't have meant it, he failed to realize that he was being set up and the thing is is to investigate before the school starts doling out suspensions willy nilly. Sometimes some people DO deserve to get the crap beaten up out of them.
O'Reilly is getting too PC for me, it's like he is trying to seem fair to all sides but in the end just seems to be getting wimpified.
Been there, done that. Except I also gave a taste to the "volunteer" who jumped in to help his bud. This kid was smarter, walked away.
I can't believe that little white t-shirt punk actually got cheeky I would have also taken care of him. The girl did the right, he had to back off, because Casey could have punched him just as good.
I'm curious what a liberals view of that would be. Probably that the bigger kid should be punished for reacting in such a manner and hurting the poor smaller kid. That's what they say about the Israeli's after all, and how liberal judges treat people that retaliate to violence perpetrated on them. They always seem to forget the criminal and focus on the guy minding his own business that retaliates.
Saw last night where the little smart ass mommy now wants an apology for her son getting slammed. She is saying the video has ruined their lives. What has ruined their lives is her son's behavior plan and simple. She needs to talk to her son's friends, they where the ones video taping the whole thing.
Good for Casey, bitch slammed him, and then his buddies had to run in to protect him from the beating he needed and deserved.
Casey has a future in WWE or UFC. As for barry taking notice, no way. He's to busy checking out the rear ends of the Brazilian ladies in Rio. Rome is burning
Are you SURE it is really the ladies' rear ends he is checking out and not the ladies male companions? Oh well... he could bat both ways I suppose.
In any case, I agree with everything you said about the Casey situation and if she wants apologies she should go to the so called friends' parents. She should MAKE her son apologize to Casey and just deal with the consequences. If her kid and her kid's friends had played it straight this would not be an issue.
If I had money to spare I would totally take Casey under my wing and get him some serious training in whatever martial arts he likes or else wrestling. Shooo.... he keeps that weight up in the right way and he could make some serious money in Japan as a Sumo wrestler.
No worries for the little bully about his life being "ruined." He can move to Key Largo with the other wuss mentioned above and disappear (or just cross-dress.)
Doesn't this Casey vs the bully thing remind you of Israel? Taking little jabs over and over again, and when they've finally had enough and slam back HARD, they are accused of over-reacting.
What a messed up world we live in. /sigh
That is a good point.
That is an excellent point Barb
That was a real feel good moment seeing that little prick get slammed then stagger around like the nitwit he is. I never was bullied and actually don't remember any bullies all through school. But after high school I did fight alot into my 30's because of my sour attitude.
After I taught my eldest son that grabbing two handfuls of a bully's ears then falling to the ground ensures the bully's face will follow into same ground and leak blood, he used that technique when picked on the next time.
The bully never bothered him again.
I'm glad the bully's mom actually demanded that her kid apologize and I'm sorry I misjudged her...sorry Mom!
