    You might have already seen this doing the rounds...

    A lad from Huddersfield threw a Syrian refugee to the floor and squirted water in his face. It looks like a normal school little fight thingy, not nice but we've all been apart of something like this, or witnessed it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see any racism in there either.

    This 'victim' has now received over 70 thousand pounds in donations. The Sun newspaper have described this as waterboarding. Over 100 Muslims are on this school kids Facebook account calling for his house to be blown up and his Mother and Sister to be raped. He's also been accused of 'nearly drowning' the lad.

    I'm glad I'm not in school now when things like this are being filmed and circulated blowing everything out of all proportion. This lad and his family seem to be in serious danger and the likelihood is there's going to be repercussions on the back of this.

    By I’d to be a fly on the of this horrid kids hime. Thats probably where he gets his attitude from. I’m pennywell thro and thro and have been at both ends of a scrap. But the big lad acted like Trumps basetwice the foreign lads size. Ignorance breeds ignorance and intolerance ON BOTH SIDES.

    Who knows what the background to this is. But the kid who grabs the other lad looks significantly older and bigger, playing billy big bollocks with his mates. The filming suggests his actions are premeditated, and those of a nasty bully.

    I have no time for bullies and I hope he gets what he deserves (and his Dad, who is probably a nasty bully too).

    Longfield school had the Goz Pit, stairs to a locked basement where kids would be thrown down the straps then spat on. I didn't even go to that school but knew about it as every school in the town knew about it. Bit of water in their face is **** all.

    A bloke called Robin Armstrong had a page on Facebook where it showed videos much like this, normally much worse, every other day. If the bullying was racially provoked he has only himself to blame for any backlash. But I do have a problem with the kid and his family getting £70000 fundraising. They are probably innocent folk, but what if they are not? People could be funding for anybody. Druggies, criminals, anything.

    Where's my £70k??? I had far worse than this done to me when I was at school. Broken noses, Kicked in the head repeatedly by bullies. Had 2 pin me down while 1 kicked me repeatedly in the balls and then in the ribs (broke 2 ribs)

    The kid is a twat for doing it - but ****ing hell he's a bully - there's loads of them about everywhere!!

    Bullys are a serious problem, as is social media blowing it up out of all proportion, as has already been said.

    Ive heard rumours that the kid getting 'bullied' had bitten some girl on the head whilst 3 other girls were beating her up. This video shows a retaliation. Not sure if its true.

    Just to let you know the fundraiser for him is now approaching 150k. He's potentially going to be set up for life for being thrown to the floor and having water splashed in his face. The world has gone mad.

    I feel for the lad, I hate seeing bully's going on like that. As has been said, though, must people have suffered bullying and it's usually a lot worse than what this kid has gone through.

    150 grand and it looks like potentially the kid is a bully himself
