I hope the little bully has learnt a big lesson. He was very lucky he did not get seriously hurt (thankfully). Hope that he never bullies again.
I doubt it. Next time he will probably try to outnumber the kid 10 to 1 rather than 3 to 1. That's how a lot of kids think these days. He will also probably pre-meditate the attack with 4 or 5 mobile phone video cameras on him this time, to retrieve some of that built up cowardly pride. That little troublemaker should be expelled and other schools in the district should be warned about his little twisted world of lights, camera, and cowardice. On the other hand the kid standing up for himself deserves a medal.
One of my cousins was in a similar situation at a small Catholic private school for years. He smashed one of his perpetual tormentors one day and was suspended for defending himself.
I have seen a lot worse at school in the past. All we need now are the PC guys to claim it was intolerable for that young fella to defend himself. And somehow equate his action with a systemic problem amongst today's youth.
There are a couple of Mark Twain quotes that are worthy of note in this situation
This one for the bully and his camera voyeur gang mates
1) A man who tries to carry a cat home by its tail will learn a lesson that can be learned in no other way.
Mark Twain
And this one for the Principal and the Teachers of the institution where it occurred.
2) In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.
Mark Twain

Law proposed against uploading violent images on the internet
March 16, 2011
The South Australian government wants to make it an offence to post violent or other degrading images on the internet.
Attorney-General John Rau said the state's proposed legislation, to be introduced this year, would be the first of its kind in Australia.
It will make it an offence to knowingly take or publish humiliating, demeaning or degrading images of another person without their consent.

Mr Rau said it was designed to tackle thugs who filmed assaults and then posted them on the internet.
The move follows the appearance of a viral video on YouTube showing a student in an Australian school playground tormenting another boy and then being picked up and violently thrown on the ground by the victim.
"The government wants to attack this disgusting fad of thugs engineering and filming violent and humiliating acts and posting the images to websites," Mr Rau said today.
"This behaviour is so disturbing and potentially damaging to the victims that I believe the creators of these images should be subject to severe penalties, including jail sentences.
"The government wants to make it very clear that if a person participates in any way in an act of this sort, then the consequences will be severe."
Mr Rau said the onus would be on the person charged to prove that they had a legitimate purpose for capturing the images, other than humiliating, degrading or demeaning the victim.
The proposed laws would cover anyone involved in the process of deliberately filming and publishing the images.
"For example, if you knowingly allow someone to use your computer or phone to upload the images, you could be covered by the laws," Mr Rau said.
"If you knowingly participate in someone's humiliation while someone else films it, you could also find yourself charged with a serious offence."
But opposition justice spokesman Stephen Wade said the government's proposals lacked detail.
"We have no indication of how this initiative will be policed or how we can avoid people being unfairly caught by the legislation," Mr Wade said.

Whatever happened to prevention? Oh it goes on, but you can't watch it!
If it wasn't filmed it would never have made the headlines!!!!! And the attackers would probably be able to continue on at the beginning of every first semester in the same way!!!! WAJ!
