I'm not saying what he did is right, and I'm not excusing it, but everybody who is piling on about how unconscienable his behavior for continuing to pummel an unconscious opponent needs set their outrage aside and actually think about whether the Witchita kid realized the other kid was unconscious or not.
There is no doubt that the kid snapped. But your diagnosis of "serious anger issues" sounds to be based more on your book of "no excuse for violent actions" than from any actual knowledge about this kid. In other words, based on emotion and not actual facts.

Trust me, no emotions here. Fact - Conscious, unconscious, really is not relevant. Fact - I really don't care what that kid was seeing at the time. Fact - This is "You hit me with a stick, so I'll club you with a bat".
