In other words, the bullies should be arrested, and the staff at the school should be prosecuted under RICO laws for promoting crime. Enough is enough, why is this still allowed? I think it's because so many school principals were themselves bullies as children and are still bullies at heart as adults. These are bad people. Let's call them what they are. When I was in high school, the target was Robbie. Robbie was a shrimpy little guy. Every morning he would get pummeled by the same big guy, who was nicknamed Moose. Every day we told the teacher and the principal, and every day Robbie washed the blood off his face in the bathroom before class. One day my friend and I decided we were sick of watching and both of us jumped on Moose and tried to give him a taste of his own medicine. He was so big he just laughed at us both. He was so muscular and fat that our blows literally couldn't hurt him. Then he beat up Robbie twice as badly to teach us a lesson. Robbie and I caught up to each other last year, by the way. He's tall, handsome, happily married to a beautiful woman, and a neurologist. I wonder if Moose is in jail, or if he's coaching football at some high school where he encourages his players to give little shrimpy guys "what they deserve"?
