In Canada Casey would have been charged and most likely convicted of assault causing bodily harm, then did a stint in Juvenile Jail if this was his second offense or the court deemed him 'dangerous' to the other kids. Of course, only the bully's friends would be interviewed with adults present. First offense, he might not get 'time'.

Here, it is now an offense to use 'excessive' force to defend onself or one's family & depending on how good your lawyer is, you may or may not be convisted of using too much force IF you cause an injury.

Here, a child of 7 in grade 2 was expelled from a public elementary school for pointing his index finger as if it was a handgun. It was not 'aimed' at an individual but perhaps 'next time' it might be??? This is called 0 tolerance & readlily accepted by the school teachers - virtualy all here. Bloody Hell.

Here in Utah, the the fat kid would have been given a medal, and the whimpy "bully" and his buddies would have gotten suspended. I suspect Texas or Wyoming may have had a holiday for the the fat kid... go West young man!
