Should have dropped him on his head.
Whoa!!.......slam dunkd or what......push people too far,an look what happens.
theres quite a bit of news on the net about it link
He should have picked the other one up and done the same, don't think they would have bothered him for a while.
Fair play to the big guy, he took a good jab to the mush as well, hardly flinched

i like that fact he walked away, where as if he was a bully he would of kicked him whilst he was down.
Top marks to the big fella, put the little scrote in his place.

WTF? Both kids suspended? Have they not watched the video. The little kid smacked him repeatidly in the face! So you can bully someone and punch them
repeatidly in the face whilst they take it and then when they give you a byatch slapping it's their fault? Sorry, that's just wrong. Little
git deserved worse IMHO. The ones who should have been suspended where the little git and the people filming it.
From the linky: "The longer term way is about developing better relationships between kids in the school, that will then empower young people to
not be passive bystanders when these acts occur but to stand up and say 'this is wrong'," Mr Dalgleish says.
Yeh cos that would work. It worries me how people who run schools appear to have never gone to one. In my experience bullies don't change their
behaviour if you ignore them. Bullies typically transfer their own inadequacies and self-loathings onto someone else. You ignore them it doesn't
matter, they just want to vocalise their fears. So ignoring a bully doesn't work and other people saying "stop doing that" might not
work either. I was bullied for about six months at school despite ignoring the idiots behaviour again and again. One day I decided I'd had enough
and pinned him to the wall and offered to break both his legs. He was quite civil after that.
I'm no condoning violence BTW but the big fella went well beyond the "turn the other cheek" limit, no way IMHO he should have been
suspended.
good on the big lad, good he stood up for himself and did it properly.
this guy used to take the wee out of me at school all the time. one day i had enough in class, went to punch him in the face. misjudged how far away
he was and barely cought the end of his nose, it didn't end well for me later that day... lol
anyway, i like what that lad in that video did, but the way he slammed him down, he's quite lucky he didn't do him a LOT of serious damage.
still, i side with the big chap

i was bullied by a bigger kid at school two years above me. the teachers told me to ignore him and walk away. it never worked it just made it worse.
one day after school he chased me down the school field and pinned me to the ground trying to strangle me. I put my hand in my pocket pulled out my
Parker pen and jammed it in his neck. result he went to hospital. i got taken home suspended for two weeks and had to speak to the police, BUT he
never come near me again, and i was never bullied by anyone ever again either!
so all i can say is well done kid welcome to being left alone.

My son was bullied at school. I told him to tell the teacher and if they didn't do anything , then hit them hard.
I got a call from the school to tell me my son had just punched a teacher. I don't think he understood what i meant 
Just to echo sentiments above... I was physically bullied for half of my time at high school, by individuals and groups of people. The day I left
school I swore to myself it would change, when something happened at the college after school, I stood up for myself in a physical way without hurting
the the two lads and I'd never felt better, calmer and with a sense of worth and independance... That was also pretty much the last time anyone
ever did anything to me to...
Also:-
Police are trying today to speak to the parents of both boys.
I'll put a fiver that I know the outcome of one half of that conversation - That big boy hurt my poor little gary... (or whatever the little
bitch's name is)...

I really wish id had the guts to do that when i was at school. Would have been well worth being suspended.
I can only add to the other posts, W.T.F both suspended the little s**t need a dammed good kicking. respect to the big guy for showing such maturity
and restraint.
I think we have all got some personal stories of physical abuse by our school peers, my own personal abuse stopped about 9 months after my parents
took the step of enrolling me into Tae-Kwondo classes at the age of ten after i was continually bullied for a long period of time.
Luckily i never had to fight and was never bullied again after a older member of the martial arts class stopped and spoke to me in the school corridor
about how my lessons and pattern training for the next grading was going, I found out later that some of the so called bullies asked the older guy
what we were discussing, after he told them suddenly i was not bothered anymore
ROFPMSL.
Score one for the good guys!
Political correctness only works on paper.
In the real world being PC gets you a kicking, until you get a bit medieval on their ass. Then everyone wants to be friends.
I for one am with Winston Chuchill.

If that big lad was my kid I would create holy hell if he was suspended.
I was bullied badly too at school and wish I could have done what he did.
He was forced to defend himself!! Hes done nothing wrong. He stopped the physical violence and walked away.

"We don't believe that violence is ever the answer," Mr Dalgleish says. "We believe there are other ways that children can manage
this."
Depends on the question...
What are you not allowed under any circumstances to ever react to?
What do you have to take on a daily basis?
Shame this didn't work for me at school when I pinned some little scrote to the wall by his neck...
I agree with Liam, I'd have roared into that office if my son got suspended for defending himself
Being in the teaching profession for a few years I have come across this sort of thing once or twice. The usual outcome is to discipline both parties.
Why? because nobody wants to suggest fighting in whatever form is OK. However, in EVERY case the kid who was bullied is OK with the suspension, they
feel it is a fair response and that if they didn't then the bully would have grounds to continue with the bullying. However, being suspended is a
bit of a badge of honour. On top of that it is (off th record) made clear that the reasons for the retaliantion are understood, and the kid getting a
few pats on the back from staff and other kids.
But be clear, you can't expect schools to say it is ok for the kids to fight, no matter what. One of the biggest problems with kids is when they
think they have the right to behave how they think fit. If that isn't tackled the kid grows up into a serious problem for society.
And I agree, the big kid did exactly what I would have hoped for. Even down to the walking off. The teacher who arrived did nothing to prevent him
leaving, rather tackling one of the other scrotes. Spot on I reckon.
Video has been removed from Youtube...
but still on the news link above

its funny how stuff from 4chan deseminates onto the wider interwebs
An emotive subject but trying to see it from the school's point of view....
my daughters school has a 'zero tolerance on violence' rule.. if you get in a fight you get suspended - end of discussion..
the problem is when you start trying to judge each case individually you get into more trouble than you could possibly get by just suspending all
parties...
lets look at it from the point of view of the parents of that little shite bag.... (dont ghet me wrong i am not on his side!)
so little johnny is an angel as far as mummy and daddy are concerend and can do no wrong (pretty much the case with all kids these days). now look at
the video again... his punches are ineffective but when the big guy retaliates he can hardly stand up...
I think a policy of zero tolerance is the only way to go, even if the innocent suffer too...
sorry
<stand back and await a good flaming>
If you decide to pick on someone, you don't get to decide how they make you stop.
Little scrote should have thought about that.
Being pretty much the big quiet guy when I was at school, I completely and totally empathise with the big kid in the video.
He ended it there and then.
Regarding the suspension, I don't think they did him a bad turn.
