Its great that your boy is big well adjusted and popular, so he probably fits into the alpha male stereotype.
But we're not talking about your boy or his situation.
We're talking about a overweight kid who doesn't fit in and is getting constantly bullied, and we're not just talking in a verbal way.
I'm willing to bet though that most parents are completely unaware when their kids are getting bullied, we meaning you fleshbags that have had kids, probably see your son or daughter in a different light the reality.
We also don't often see the build up of emotions in kids until it blows through, and in this Casey's space it blew through big time.
In other words, your substituting your boy for Casey when your evaluating the situation and stating that if your perfect, huge athletic boy did the slam jam on that little punk that you'd be upset or angry or punish him, its not a fair comparison because obviously your son is not Casey.
But two things pop to mind for me as this story continues.
One of the kids basically stated that the bullies like video taping bullying and posting it on line, so apparently the little crap probably set up the video taping so he could humiliate this Casey kid globally. So I don't feel any sadness or concern over the slam, I think its great that he was stumbling around and falling over his own feel as the video continued, the little punk now has the "Hows that taste" experience of a lifetime.
The father said that Casey was a target of constant bullying, I think its tough to put into context how they were handling or discussing the boys bullying situation.
Too often or not parents do ignore the obvious until its too late

You are absolutely right on all counts.
I was asked what I would hope my kid would do if he was Casey. I explained that I would have thought that he would hurt the kid because his size and the twerp's size are relative to my kid and (I was thinking of) his little brother.
I still say the big kid could have hurt the little kid, but I am not blaming him (as I said before). I just think he didn't know how to handle himself.
I understand. I obviously said some things to really irritate several people and I certainly never meant to.
