All these stories of kicking the shit out of someone bullying us are great. Effective. Makes us all feel good. Somehow, I think not relevant. Like some here, I grew up in the early 80’s, different world, different times. Problem with a bully or someone stealing your lunch out of your locker, fisticuffs! Problem solved. No police, no assault charge, no lawyers, no lawsuits, just plain fisticuffs, and maybe an ass whooping from the principal. The “teasing” “bullying” took place in home room, or between classes while at the school. When school was over, we got on the bus and went home. If it was a weekend we didn’t hear or see the assholes until Monday, and we had a reprieve. 1980’s life! Hell yea!
Fast forward to today….Tommy gets called a fag because he has decided he wants to be a girl and not a boy. Uhhhhhh none of that shit when I went to school in the 80’s. Problem one…..trans kids are encouraged…..right or wrong….is what it is. So…Tommy takes his skateboard and swipes it across bully Joes kisser for calling him a fag. Bully Joe looses two teeth and has a broken eye socket. School says OH SHIT! This ain’t gonna be good. School resource officer, when did that shit start? come down and now Tommy has charges pending for assault. Bully Joe has parents who live in the million $$$$ home in the good section of town, and they demand justice. Bully Joe is a “ good” kid and didn’t deserve the skateboard method. Parents of bully Joe sue the ever loving shit outta Tommy, his parents, the school, the teachers, the county the school is located, and probably Trump cause somehow he is to blame also.
Tommy was getting “bullied” daily, hourly, minute by minute by something that did not exist in the 60’s,70’s, 80’s…..the internet. Constant. Continually. Brutally. Photos,memes,all his friends getting shamed for hanging out with him. Snapchat,Facebook, instagram, twitter. All these fucking worthless social media sites that the kids in that high school used to torment the shit out of Tommy.
One day Tommy decides he’s had enough. Better to die than to live in his world of shit. Goes out behind his house puts the 12ga in his mouth and lets it rip.
Maybe we are raising weak kids, I don’t know. Maybe the world is different? But dudes, let me say this. We are walking in the darkness. The darkness does not like the light. The darkness is happy. The darkness is taking over our entire country and lives.
How sad that young people take their own lives because of darkness and lack of love.
