Max Headroom: Bully’s worst nightmare Casey Heynes speaks out

This Aussie sure showed that little punk. As you might have noticed, we didn’t post the clip du jour of the week, where Australian kid Casey Heynes, backed into a corner by a bully, pulled a Zangief-worthy move on his opponent, which (despite how violent it looked) only led to a scraped knee for the bully in question. The original clip felt exploitative. In this context, it feels less so. Australian program “A Current Affair” caught up with Heynes, who said he’s been bullied for years (even contemplating suicide), and finally snapped earlier this week. It’s soft-focus journalism, yes, but Heynes has a great head on his shoulders and a great family. And thousands of followers on Facebook. Great work. source
