I didn't read this whole thread but are people really justifying a kid who weighs over 250# beating up a kid who weighs 70# to within a hair of his life?

No one is really "justifying it", but there seems to be a lot of, "that's a shitty thing to do, but Aspys say dumb things sometimes since they tend to be assholes".

I'm really amazed that so many posters believe this. I'm also amazed at how many people easily become clinical psychologists and immediately diagnose Aspergers because some kid was doing "X". Never mind that Aspergers presents in dozens of different ways, I just know he has it!

If you want to add fuel to the fire, the father of the bully has a rap sheet miles long.

It really doesn't matter that he has Asperger's. The other kid doesn't have an excuse for his behavior. He's just an a-hole. He beat a child to near death in a school cafeteria.

A woman gets raped in a shopping mall mid-day. Is it her fault for wearing a short skirt, or the attackers fault for thinking its acceptable to rape a woman in a shopping mall?
