SYDNEY, Australia (WUSA) -- A video of a teen body-slamming a bully has gotten the world's attention.

The boy's name is Casey Heynes. According to reports, Heynes had been bullied by a group of boys at Chifley College High School in St. Mary's, Australia for a while.

The video shows two bullies throwing punches at Heynes, before he grabs the second boy and slams him to the ground.

A spokeswoman for the NSW Department of Education and Training at Chifley College, Dunheved Campus, the Australian high school said, "does not tolerate any violence and deals with all cases according to its community-agreed discipline code". "Both students in a fight at the school shown on the Internet have been suspended ... the only injury sustained was a grazed knee."

Must be a zero tolerance thing.

No way - that scrawny kid's pride (and hopefully his reputation) is all shot to hell too

Been there. Got ice cream and all the TV I could watch those few days, too.

Such a fuckin' joke. All the bullshit talk about stopping bullying...and when someone does he gets suspended.

Of course, if it weren't for the video backing up a self-defense claim he'd probably be in juvie...

A guy I worked with 15 year old daughter was jumped by three other girls at school. Luckily her dad taught her to fight ( he's Italian ). She managed to beat the three enough to get away.

She went directly to the office to report the incident. There were at least a dozen witnesses.

All four got week long suspensions under the "zero tolerance" bullshit.
