Your youngest stood up for a friend against a bully? Good for him!
Some people (esp. on the left) don’t get sometimes the only appropriate response to violence is superior violence.
Examples:
(1) I was a skinny nerd all through middle school and high school. What did not show is I was actually very strong. Got bullied a lot in middle school until I asked my Dad if it was Ok if I took the head bully down. He said yes (Dad served) and added the school better not punish me if I did or they’d deal with him (my Dad is a pretty imposing guy both physically and mentally). Next day I kicked the bully’s ###. Never got bullied again. No punishment from the school, either.
Shame your youngest was punished. That is just plain wrong.
(2) A friend (kind of girlfriend) defended herself from a campus area rapist. The scum did not know she was a Marine who had seen combat (technically she was in a non-combat role but the bad guys didn’t get the memo). That ended how it should: scum in the hospital, she OK (albeit a bit upset).
(3) Israel vs. Hamas.
Got lots more but think that makes the point.
Just my opinion.
“Got bullied a lot in middle school” and high school (freshman year)...
Hello,
Asperger‘s syndrome patient here. You did absolutely great, Mr. Piytar. My compliments:-)
And I agree with the reaction of your school. They did the right thing.
