(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A Florida teenager who stabbed a schoolmate to death will not face any criminal charges, a judge ruled this week in Naples, Fla.

Fifteen-year-old Jorge Saavedra was facing a second-degree murder charge in the death of Dylan Nuno, 16, after a judge ruled the boy's action against a bully amounted to self-defense, naplesnews.com reports.

(Collier County Circuit Judge Lauren) Brodie based her decision this week on the findings from a two-day December hearing, during which students who witnessed the events Jan. 24, 2011, testified that several teens announced the fight on the bus, and Saavedra got off several stops early in Golden Gate Estates. ...

In a nine-page document released Tuesday by the State Attorney's Office, Brodie stated that by getting off the bus several stops before the location where the fight was to happen, Saavedra "demonstrated that, with or without a knife, (he) had no desire to fight with Dylan Nuno."

According to testimony, Nuno, a junior, followed Saavedra, a freshman, off the bus and punched him in the back of the head. Saavedra tried to get away.

He then stabbed Dylan Nuno 12 times in the chest and abdomen. Two of the blows caused fatal wounds, including one that nicked his heart.

I think this is a very good subject (bullying) and that it isn't funny to pick on people. The Columbine High School Massacre was caused by bullying... And many other school shootings. The bully didn't deserve to die.. But I don't feel bad for him. If you're gonna pick on/harass somebody, don't expect anything good to come out of it. A lot of people pick on people they don't really know. Everybody has limits, and sometimes that limit gets reached very fast. It's like you're poking an alligator with a stick.. It will eventually bite back!

Please tell me what you guys think about this.. Murder is a big deal, do you think what he did was right? Or was it over the limit? Did you ever experience bullying, or witnessed it? Thanks.

I'm sure everybody felt like they've wanted to kill somebody before... Of course you aren't going to because you're mature enough to think about the consequences... But there's that intense rage for a few minutes, hours, maybe days depending on who you are, and this kid let his emotions control him. He might have thought it out, but obviously not seriously. Maybe he actually got bullied so bad, that he was close to those suicidal actions, and he has nothing to lose, so why not get revenge. The urge of revenge and regret gets in the way of many people's lives, but this guy just couldn't manage it..

Actually the word used is "murder" not "kill" (also depends on the translation you're looking at but generally it's accepted as being murder). So then comes the debate between the differences of killing and murdering. I don't believe the teen murdered the bully, he acted in a matter of self defense in which he ultimately ended up killing his attacker.

I don't know anyone who could stab someone more than twice and keep going, let alone eleven times and still have the desire to poke him one more. I understand that the bully got what was coming to him, and the kid probably saved him a more painful death when he was twenty and got his head cut off for messing with the wrong people. Still, the kid might have something wrong with him if he had enough rage to stab him TWELVE times.

I agree with the judge, though. Self-defense. Definitely.

I agree with the judge, it was in self-defense and seams like the kid just couldn't take anymore. Bout time someone stepped up, maybe not this drastic though.

I don't think no one here has been in that situation before of stabbing someone. Maybe he only intended to do once, but who knows what goes through your mind when you're sticking it to someone who has been bullying you for however long. He's not a trained killer, so he doesn't know how to handle situations like that and his body probably just took over. As someone said, he will be scarred for a long time from this, especially if he didn't intend to stab him 12 times to death. People might like him for getting rid of a bully, but people might not go near him due to fear of him doing it again. Maybe he needs a mental evaluation to see if he is mentally ill, or if it was just due to self defence. If he's not ill, then I'd say it's self defence. If he's ill, he needs to be taken away due to the fact he's no stable and could do it again.

He should have gotten jail time, there comes a time in a fight where it's no longer self defense and he reached that point. While stabbing the bully he definitely fell on the floor or was incapacitated, after a couple stabs he was no longer a threat to him and he continued stabbing. That was no longer self defense and that was our primal instinct of flight or fight taking over.
