If the young guy isn't up to the task, he should ask for a volunteer or two who would be willing to "try" the bastard at a time and place of the "young guy's" choosing after a year or had transpired. The participation of a family member or two would be a nice touch.
But only after the bullying bastard has lost a Federal civil rights lawsuit and all of his assets...
I bet I could come up with 9 things that this guy deserves. I wonder if he wants to try me???
