The lad didn't even get a detention lol.
That wouldn't happen. The bully would have been suspended and so would the nerd if he tried to defend himself. Apparently the moral thing to do when you're getting your teeth knocked out is to smile so the other guy can aim better.

That's what pisses me off about how schools deal with bullying. It's not about protecting anyone, it's about protecting the school from liability just in case anyone decides to sue them because they didn't do enough to stop something. You can't sue them if they won't even let the victim do anything about it I guess.

Enlightened my ass, it's just bureaucratic responsibility shirking.
