By now you may have seen the video of a bully punching a blind kid in the face for some reason, and then that same bully getting knocked out by one punch by another student who was defending the blind kid (if not, the video is below). And as if getting knocked out wasn’t embarrassing enough, the bully has now been arrested, as well.
Austin, who is partially blind, was getting pummeled by bully Noah. It is being reported that the two students have never gotten along and that the assault was pretty much the result of their back-and-forth bickering. Austin’s friend Cody then stepped in to do what the majority of us would have done if we saw someone beating up a blind kid: he knocked him out. Serves Noah right for not only hitting a blind kid, but for wearing a beanie.
Here’s the original video below (warning: graphic language and violence):
Now that the video has gone viral, Noah has been arrested for misdemeanor battery and released to his parents so they can hopefully teach him something very simple: don’t hit someone who can’t see.
” …When you punch a blind kid, that’s what made me so mad,” Cody explains.”I kinda regretted it but I kinda didn’t because if I didn’t Austin would’ve been more hurt.”
Cody also says he “doesn’t want to ruin” Noah’s life.
Unfortunately, it is also being reported that Cody has been suspended from the high school football team for his actions, but a petition has been started to get him back on it.
