Finally my Dad told me to hit them back 10 times harder and to not stop until they're on the ground, which I proceeded to do and I never had any further problems with bullies. To this day I'm an eye for an eye type of guy when it comes to physical violence because it works. Jesus’s recommendation on turning the other cheek doesn't seem to apply in a lot of situations and Jesus himself wasn't beyond opening up a can of whoop ass on the money changers in the temple.
And if we're talking Christian forgiveness of our enemies here, I haven't seen a lick of love thy enemies from Cruz supporters, just pure hate and often slander towards Trump supporters.
