Doesn't that bully know there are anti-discrimination and hate crimes laws.
Bet his Daddy is proud of the way HIS Boy beat the snot outta the little ->-bleeped-<-got.
That'll give him something to brag about 'round the water cooler.

As I watched the video, I flashed back to being hit with a 2X4 in carpentry class for
"wearing my pants too tight and walking funny."
I guess, not all that much has really changed in the last 30 years.

WSYX-WTTE: Mother Calls Son's 'Caught-on-Tape' Beating a Hate Crime (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gPyyqISm8eg#)

An Ohio mother says she is filing charges with local prosecutors after her teenage son was attacked at school by a fellow student for being gay.

Rebecca Collins' 15-year-old son, who does not wish to be identified, was brutally beaten this week by another male student in a horrifying incident that was captured on camera.

But despite video evidence she says officials at Union-Scioto High School in Chillicothe only suspended the bully for three days - and that's not enough.

It sounds like the mother has the right idea. A strong message must be sent that this is not acceptable behavior.

Sounds like an open and shut case when you have video evidence.  I reckon the local Prosecutor would just love a case like that.  :icon_bat: Hope the little toad gets the book thrown at him. :icon_burn: And the school, for what sounds like failing to treat a serious assault as such.
