Personalities define people. Some people are full of hate; others aren't. Some people are consumed with themselves; others seek to help others. It's a very diverse planet. Slopers typically embody the best of the human spirit.
I see myself as a pretty gentle soul (which other blogs have termed, sneeringly, as "sensitive", or worse) and, as such, got my share of taunting in the 7th and 8th grades. I was never physically bullied, but I've always despised bullies, both the verbal and the physical flavors.
This sentiment is shared among most Slopers, I imagine, which is why I wanted to share this video which has been sweeping the web over the past week. In a nutshell, the fat kid in this video had been picked on mercilessly at school. Some little punk decided to step up his bullying a notch and have his flunkies actually film him punching his victim in the face.
The victim - Casey Heynis – had finally had enough. I'll let you see the results. I can only picture my detractors playing the role of this punk little kid. Justice was finally served, and Casey Heynis is a hero to non-bullies around the world.
