Casey Heynes and Bullying

I have copied and pasted this blog entry onto the End Metallophobia blog (from my regular Night Owl blog).  Even though it is not specifically relevant to heavy metal, I think it is important to understand we all have times in our lives where we are bullied in some form or another, and we all have our 'breaking points'.  In particular, metalheads who have been bullied and can relate to it will enjoy it.  A few weeks' ago, this youngster (a 15 year-old boy from St Mary's, NSW, Australia) was on the news.

How do Crue fans and other metal fans feel about this?  After all, he was the one who was able to avoid pretty much most of the problems faced by the band itself.  And he was responsible for creating their brand and even thought of the band's name. I am not a huge fan of Crue: I don't mind their music but they sounded like real AH's.  Yanno, like a bunch of these ⤵
