This article is about a young boy who on "kick an ginger day" was kicked by dozens of people all through the day. He was so rattled that he skipped the nexed day of school. Aaron Mishki was the boy being kicked says, "There were quite a few people kicking (me)," he said, noting he couldn't believe some of his classmates actually thought the violence was funny.
"I tried to explain to them that this wasn't right thing to do, that it couldn't be a joke because it involved violence. But they didn't listen to me," he said. "My opinion of the people (who participated in the kicking) changed. I didn't think they were capable of that before, but after Thursday I just viewed them in a different light. I didn't want to go back and see them again that day," he said. "Because really, it's like a hate crime directed against a group of people," he said.
"I like my red hair. I never thought it would be a cause for violence."

I agree that it is like a hate crime directed against a group of people, and i think that red hair the like the last thing that should cause violence. If I were him i wouldn't go back to school for like two weeks. Also what does this act of violence accomplish, maybe a few laughs from the bullies at school. People were hurt on this day and they had no reason for it.
