That is so horrible.

Reminds me of what happened around 1995-1996 at the base of the ramp to Rooty Hill Railway Station. My parents owned a take away shop (in the 90s) about 50 metres from the ramp to the railway station. The kids would hang around there in the mornings and play video games and just mingle. Most of the time it was all harmless and everyone hung out like friends.

One morning, one of the kids (in year 8 or year 9), in complete derro outfit -- you know the ones -- faux metalheads with tight black jeans, black shirt, long black hair, in a stoned daze -- went up to a kid at the telephone booth and king hit him from behind straight to the temple. The perpetrator was wearing a ring on his middle finger. The poor guy went down like a sack of the proverbial. Fractured skull and brain damage. Never to play football again. Why did he hit him? Because he was a bit fat.

The perpetrator just walked away like as if nothing happened. I believe criminal charges were laid but am unsure of what happened afterwards, although he was suspended or expelled from school.
