Teen Gets Suspended From School And Kicked Off Football Team For Protecting A Blind Kid From A Bully.

A school bully cruelly beating up a blind kid was given a
taste of his own medicine when a classmate knocked him to
the ground. Shocking video of the fight, recorded by a
bystander, shows the teen tormentor repeatedly hitting his
partially sighted boy on the head.

Another student quickly leaps in, stopping the pounding with
a single punch.
The hit leaves the bully on the ground. He leaves the boy
lying bleeding on the ground while he checks on the visually
impaired victim, before turning back to the attacker and
asking him:

"You trying to jump a f****** blind kid, bro?" The teen says, hovering over him. "He's punching a blind
kid bro, "What the f**** is your problem? I swear to God if
you touch this kid again, I'll f*** you up"

The fight took place at Huntington Beach High School in
Southern California on Wednesday at lunchtime, district
officials said.
Friends of the bully pick him up from the floor as a crowd of
youngsters gather around the trio.
The 30-second video has been viewed nearly 480,000 times
on YouTube, where commenters cheered the rescuer and
bashed the bully.

The Huntington Beach Union High School District said
officials are investigating and have begun interviewing
students and witnesses.
Well, the bully got arrested on suspicion of misdemeanour
battery and released to his parents, according to Huntington
Beach Police.
Police officer Jennifer Marlatt told My News LA news that
the argument had begun after the victim walked past his
tormenter, and quickly escalated into a physical fight.

"Another student saw the fight and intervened to prevent the suspect from further assaulting the victim,"
Marlatt said in a news release.
Students said the visually impaired student was attacked
for no reason.
Grant Morels said: "I saw like a half circle around a group
of kids and I wanted to see what was up. And I see this kid
like getting wailed on by another kid."

No arrest is expected for the intervening teen who has been
praised by his peers and online for standing up for his
classmate.
But his school took a different approach and are believed to
have suspended and kicked him off the football team after
he breached their 'zero-tolerance' policy on violence.
A petition to get him reinstated on the team has now been
launched online, which stands by the high school student's
actions.

The campaign's website states: "We believe (the teenager)
should be back on his football team and back in school
where he belongs. While violence is never the best option
what Cody did to defend his friend and classmate was
justified.
"And schools 'zero-tolerance' policies out even the person
saving disabled friends."
The petition has now had more than 1,000 responses with
many criticizing Huntington Beach High School's decision.
