A SCHOOLBOY from Sydney's north was brutally bashed and verbally abused by more than 20 students for being Muslim, the boy has claimed.
Hamid Mamozai, 15, was allegedly hit up to a dozen times by two fellow students at Asquith Boys' High School on Wednesday as several more cheered and hurled racial abuse from the sidelines.

''(They were saying) hit him more, hit him more, he deserves it, you terrorists, go back to where you came from, go blow something up,'' Hamid told Channel 10.

He said he was kneed in the face four of five times and hit up to 15 times in the face.

This is in Australia. Sounds like schools are slow to stop bullying there too.

1. there is at least ONE kid in Oz who knows how to treat bullies

but I have no link to that famous video.

2. Here's an Australian program about the famous kid who stood up to a bully

He got suspended for this - brilliant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27kGfh21GAo&feature=related

3. Everytime I watch that body slam, I laugh heartily - that probably makes me a bad person,

but I'm sorry, I went through shit very much like that when I was younger, so I totally empathize with him. :evilgrin:

4. And in this follow up segment talking with a school authority, she says

something like, "I guarantee you that in 20 years, if you google their names, the video will pop back up, making it harder for them to move away from it."

So what? Casey has nothing to be ashamed of, and the bully is clearly acting like the juvenile he is, so I don't see the problem here.
