In an interview last night, Casey stated he had been taunted for years, because of his weight, and been duct-taped to a pole at one time. He said that while he was glad for the support, he had actually contemplated suicide last year.
In the past, he usually let bygones, be bygones, and never retaliated for what these boys did to him. But something happened to him that fateful day when he grabbed his bully and slammed him to the ground. Casey just snapped.
"He just came up out of nowhere and grabbed me by the shirt and then he punched me in the face. Then he went for a second hit, and I blocked it," Casey recounted.
"The third hit, I don't know if he connected, and then the fourth and fifth hit me, and then I actually snapped and grabbed him," he said.Catch the interview here, and decide, should Casey be punished for what he did?
