Gay kid beat down. Consequences to attacker? Virtually nil.

As Dan Savage says, "A policy forbidding harassment based on sexual orientation or gender identity won't prevent all incidents of bullying or assault. But it would send a message. You know what else sends a message? Arresting someone for felony assault, indicting someone for felony assault, and, if someone is found guilty of felony assault, sending someone to prison for felony assault. If the bully in who assaulted the gay kid in this video had done the exact same thing to a little old lady in shopping mall or a stranger at a bus stop he would've been arrested and charged with a crime. If he had done the same thing to a teacher at Union-Scioto High School he would've been arrested and expelled."
