    He should have slammed him again.

    I was hoping he would finish him with the atomic leg drop off the top rope.

    Surely they have dentists in Australia...

    I would have liked to have heard more about his relationship with this little bully kid. I can't believe it just came out of nowhere. I think it's rare that a littler kid would bully a bigger, older kid. The interview I want to hear next is with "the bully".

    Good for Casey.

    Here is that interview. Enjoy.

    Yeah, he's not a good bully or a good liar.

    He's gonna be hired as a high paying executive somewhere later in life when he tells the interviewer this tale. He's set.

    Looking at the kid, I can believe he was a target as well. Most bullies are.

    That doesn't excuse his actions, but it does provide some context.

    I can feel bad for the bully for a tough life situation, but thsi would all go so much easier for him if he accepted responsibility for what he did instead of justifying it. Human beings are always willing to forgive those who show genuine contrition. I have a hard time buying that Casey started it.

    Re: Don't start it if you can't finish it.

    So let me get this straight. He decided to corner a guy much older and much bigger than him and throw punches to the face all because he was told "get to class"? This kid kept saying that he didn't start it but never gave any more explanation that that.

    I do think the worldwide public humiliation has been hard on him and his family; much worse than the bodyslam itself. He'd better use better judgement on who he bullies next time. I'd like to ask him:

    What made you think you could kick this much bigger kid's butt?

    Yeah that was about as weak as a apology could be. I wouldn't be surprised if this happens to that little kid again. Hopefully for his sake the next time he only gets a skinned knee and bruised ego again.

    They're both bogans at the end of the day so it is more than likely that it happens everyday and they will grow up and it will happen their kids. The school is not a very good school and those television programs checkbook journalism.

    I love what the girl says to the taller kid at the end of the video, "I think you better back off because he's gonna do that to you"

    At least somebody there was using their brain
