In the simplest of terms, a filthy rodent of a boy was torturing a boy who is less mentally disgusting than himself and got shown that this was a bad idea. Battle happened and, just like in the movies, the good guy won. The end, right?

Not quite. The same school administrator who FAILED to deal with an aggressive and violently abusive boy in his school had the moral outrage to punish the VICTIM and the bully equally. For standing up for himself, this boy was suspended. If there had not been VIDEO placed on the internet of the bully assaulting his victim physically, the principal probably would have ignored the violence.

But wait, the wisdom of the muddle headed and deeply moronic masses voted in an online poll… The overwhelming majority chose to think that the victim had no right to fight back. They think that he should have fled from the bully. Utter stupidity. If you back down from a bully, you paste a target on yourself. Bullies are not about respect, or “being the bigger man”. Bullies are about dominating another human being. Backing down just tells them that they are now able to dominate you. This means they own you and can treat you like dirt for the rest of your life. How many of our recent “Cyber bully” related suicides were of the “walk away” school? I think an in-depth study would reveal that it is %100. I have dealt with bullies all of my life. They do not respect you or get tired of bothering you because you retreat.

Retreat from a deranged individual does not work. Who out there can tell me of ONE instance where walking away helped with a bully? I am not including times when you moved away so he/she could not find you. Most bullies have mental and emotional issues. It is sad, but true, that there are few, if any ways that such a demented creature can be helped by their peers. Many are abused as children and seek violence as a way to salve their own sense of self worth. Some have issues such as fetal alcohol syndrome. The syndrome cases have no impulse control and a highly violent nature that does not just “change” because their chosen victim will not fight back. Fighting back is the only way, in many cases, for the victim to end the abuse.

If the administrator had been any good at their job to begin with, they would have spotted this situation and done something to keep it from reaching a point where a boy was assaulted and had to defend himself. Adults should have defused this. To ask a person to be beaten upon with fists and back down is silly. My guess is that the principal’s sympathies are not with the victim. My feeling is that he identifies more with the bully himself. Why else would he punish the victim for refusing to remain a victim? Especially in light of video evidence of the bully actually hitting him without provocation.

In short, if you think a boy should not fight back against a bully, then it is YOUR JOB as adults to make it so he does not have to.

If your child is the victim, grow a pair and get the authorities to do their jobs and end the problem.

If your kid is the bully, lay down the law about stopping the behavior. Get the kid into some treatment for his obvious mental problems. If your bully kid is your pride and joy, and you think he/she should be able to bully freely… Email me and I will introduce my daughters. They are tournament trained martial artists in a combination of traditions and they just can not stand bullies… You are welcome to send your thugs over and we will even help you get them to the hospital afterward.

It makes me ill to realize that we, the richest country in the world, can not care for our sick. We send millions of dollars in aid to other countries in both government and private money, but we fail the people who live on our own streets. Evil corporations move every job they can to India, Mexico, and China to avoid paying enough for people to live on. Other companies hire people who have entered the country so that they can work them like animals and treat them like slaves. Just the money that legal employees would feed into our system by paying taxes would pay for a large portion of any “public option”.

All the people who have no insurance become a burden on our emergency care systems and clinics as well. ER’s can’t turn you away for be uninsured… If the type 1 diabetic I mentioned dies, the government will foot the bill not only for his burial, but also for the continued care and feeding of the family he leaves behind. Over the next 17+ years that will add up…

I say we all watch for who votes down the “public Option” and we make sure NOT to vote for them when they run again. Remember, in the end, WE are the bosses. WE should fire politicians who are not doing the best job for us.
