A far-right teen bully from Britain is probably about to have his life changed

A 16-year-old Syrian refugee was tackled and “waterboarded” by a bully at a school in Huddersfield, England, a disturbing viral video shows. The teen was attacked by his classmate while walking outside of the school in October, but the video was posted online on November 27 and quickly spread on social media.

...

The incident happened at Almondbury Community School on October 25 and police have been investigating along with school officials. The other student in the video, who can be seen “tackling, choking and waterboarding” Jamal, has been identified on social media as 16-year-old Bailey McLaren, a supporter of British far-right groups whose family members have been involved in previous racial incidents. McLaren and his family did not respond to requests for comment about the video.

...

In the video, the bully, identified as Bailey McLaren, can be seen walking up to the Syrian refugee, identified as 16-year-old Jamal, while holding a water bottle. The attacker appears to kick Jamal, who is much smaller than him, multiple times, while Jamal tries to walk away. He then suddenly grabs him by the throat and drags him to the ground while still choking the boy.

The bully then keeps his hand on Jamal’s throat while pouring water on his face and telling him, “I’ll drown you.” Jamal rolls away from him and stands up. The video ends with Jamal walking away from his attacker.

Local police released a statement about the incident on November 27.

“We are investigating a report of a racially-aggravated assault of a 15-year-old boy which occurred on playing fields at Almondbury Community School at about 1 p.m. on October 25,” Superintendent Steve Dodds, of the West Yorkshire Police Kirklees District, said in a statement. “A 16-year-old boy has been interviewed by voluntary attendance in connection with the incident and we are continuing to progress the investigation.”

MP Barry Sheerman tweeted, “Video of assault against one of my constituents absolutely shocking. Have been supporting the family since it was first brought to my attention. Understand from council that the school have taken strong action. Will be following up to ensure all available support is being given!”

Yeah, I kind of think a kid waterboarding a fellow student for racist reasons, because his far-right nutjob parents have taught him this is the way to behave, needs his life changed. Am I supposed to feel sorry for him?

If the Brits were serious about cracking down on bullying, they'd have to arrest all the high-powered insiders who rogered the incoming pupils while attending the UK's elite schools. They all buggered one another at some point.

If there's one great thing about social media, it's that low-life bullies like this kid can no longer get away with atrociousness.

He's also the reason why Jamal has a cast on his arm

by Anonymousreply 4November 28, 2018 4:39 AM

If that's true, r4, then he should be in jail.

I noticed with those Wisconsin high school kids that the right wing trolls seem to think that "but they're underage and you're doxxing them" is a fine excuse for teens to be allowed to criminally harass and assault people for racist reasons.

The far-right teen should be done away with. The world does not need more Deplorables in it.

Such as R6.

R6 doesn't understand that Holocausting your way to a moral society is a contradiction in terms.

It's likely the bully is a psychopath and he should be placed in a locked residential facility until 21 then monitored carefully.

That's so sad. Imagine that poor kid walking along and feeling the crowd gathering and knowing something was going to happen. He even has his arm in a sling and looks quite a small person and that guy still went for him.

Does anyone know what the bully is actually saying? I can't quite make it out.

by Anonymousreply 21November 28, 2018 8:51 AM

Any idea if bullying is worse now than in decades past? Or if it seems to be more prevalent because of social media. Certainly I would say DJT helped make it more acceptable these days.

by Anonymousreply 22November 28, 2018 9:23 AM

R22, as someone who was bullied (let me be clear, I mean was physically beaten, not just told I wasn’t good enough), I assure you that the incidence is the same, people are just catching it on video now. In addition to being bullied, I also saw kids getting piled on so cruelly, their tormentors would be thrown into l’il prison these days if their antics had been filmed.

The victim's family has released a statement. Among other things, it says that Jamal did, indeed, have his arm broken by pupils at school; that Bailey was part of this group; and that, along with his sister, Jamal's been bullied continuously for two years. Today people are circulating footage of his sister, in a bright pink hijab, being bullied and pushed as well.

Hopefully, with the attention this is getting, the far right bully will kill himself but first shoot his own family.

That would be fun

Compared to all the rapes, bombings, stabbings and violent attacks muslims are perpetuating on the rest of humanity and no one says a word, especially muslims....I don't give a fuck about this kid or his family

Islam is peace = the greatest lie ever told.

They're not far right. they're just muslims following the example of their prophart.

Sorry but no. The kid was a victim and the bully should be punished. Not all muslims are the same like no all gays are the same

It’s sad that something as bad as this could happen in such a delightfully named place as Almondbury Community School. It like reporting a rape from the Hundred Acre Wood.
