ICTChris Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Literally millions of people have viewed and shared video footage of a school pupil bullying and assaulting another young boy, said to be a Syrian refugee, with lots of people sharing details of his name, school etc. Makes me a little uncomfortable to be honest.

What the kid was awful and hopefully he'll get hammered for it but grown men asking folk to form a gang to go round to his and beat him up is pathetic.

His address, snapchat etc are all out there as well. Seems a bit much but he's a little bawbag. Made a new instagram overnight and was bragging about not having to go to school today with photos of the police vans outside his house. Much of the abuse he seems to be getting is homophobic name calling or threats to his life. The best tweet I've seen on the matter is that he'll get hung out to dry but the media and politicians have created this environment where immigrants (especially refugees) have been dehumanised and are viewed as the enemy. They'll be 'outraged' at this but will continue to foster that resentment. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofarl Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Found this letter in my delivery box a few weeks ago. Realised I couldn’t return it to sender. Left it for my manager to deal with. He hates any sort of attention. Well this has about 12k shares on Facebook and now our own twitter page is mentioned it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 From what I've seen the sad thing about the guy in question is that he comes from a family of thick racists. I'm not excusing his scummy actions, as he's clearly a c--t, but there's a brother in prison for violence at some England First rally, and the mother has been done for giving out racist abuse in the street. Pretty obvious that he comes from crappy circumstances and hasn't a clue how normal people think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I suppose the one positive in that story is that everyone turned on the thick racist. I wouldn't have been surprised if morons had been sharing the bullied kid's address to encourage other idiots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me that thinks that even the video going viral is a huge overreaction? It's the type of incident that happens in school playgrounds up and down the country, day in day out. The type that should be dealt with by the school and then move on. It's obviously horrendous behaviour, but still a huge overreaction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things should be getting a big reaction to show kids (anybody really) that treating people like that is not on.Guy is getting done for assault so this sort of publicity will hopefully put people off doing this 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty obvious that he comes from crappy circumstances and hasn't a clue how normal people think.Agreed. The boys actions are absolutely shite, scum bag behaviour but he appears to be a product of his environment. Hopefully the deter strategy gets involved and this boy is helped to become a decent member of society. What is also scumbag behaviour is the lynch mob mentality of people on social media seeking to destroy this boys life for basically being an arsehole as a boy, do they think by posting all his personal details they’ll make the situation better? Madness. The wee refugee guy has obviously been through enough already, but dont see why everyone does a ‘go fund me’ for every victim. Id suggest just trying to encourage a world where people dont act like c***s is an infinitely better way to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The family will probably have to move. All thanks to concerned social media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything schools tolerate a lot less playground violence than they did years ago, certainly than when I was in school.People saying that nothing has been done, there are schools that fail on bullying prevention but I doubt there is any school that wouldn’t do anything if they knew that behaviour like that shown in the video was occurring.Whatever he’s done the perpetrator is a child and the excoriation of social media isn’t going to have any positive outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemingly the broken arm you see the victim with is from bullying as well so clearly the school either dunno what to do or don't want to deal with it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
