I don't know what your life experience has been. But, I learned as a teenager that most bigots are also bullies and most bullies are dumb as a day is long. And, the only way you can reach them is to beat the crap out of them early on...... Otherwise, you will suffer their abuse indefinitely. Appeasement, with such people, does not work.

Of course bullies are dumb, the bullying is them compensating for their feelings of inadequacy.
Really all they are doing is tipping off others as to how fragile their psyche is.
We had a serious bully in the nearby high school. He pulled his crap on the wrong guy and was shot dead at the local gas station.

Sounds like the biggest bully won.

Sounds like the opposite to me. The bully wound up picking on someone who'd had enough of taking crap from dickheads.
An old high school chum who was very slightly built took up martial arts and carried nunchucks. Once at a keg party a linebacker type cut the line to the beer and my old friend politely asked this shit fer brains to get in line. One thing led to another and the bully tried to grab Steve and wound up knocked out cold. Everyone laughed as they stepped over the lug to get a beer. He woke up and staggered away after about 5 minutes.

Nah. Another bully would have pushed back in bully fashion, the first would have understood 'hey, he's not going to be any fun,' and that would have been that.
The guy who shot him was as person who had seen that shit before, and wanted no more of it. But he wasn't a bully. A bully wouldn't have reacted to strongly.

He was probably someone who had appeased the bully for far too long, suffering months or years of abuse. As far as I'm concerned all he did was flush a turd. Sadly, he'll probably go to jail for it, when IMO he should be given a medal.

That's right. Any deviance from their perceived "norm" is a threat. You're threatening the bullies ego by demonstrating that you don't have to "be like him" in order to lead a happy, successful life. In fact you might be gay or a liberal and become even more successful than he. This threatens his "exceptionalism" and sends him into a hissy fit. Because, in his fucked up, pathetic brain it just can't work that way, so he does whatever he has to to drag you down.
Sound familiar, Ed?

I agree with that.
And yes, sometimes the bully will kick your ass.
If that happens you have to let him know that he is going to have to kick your ass every time he sees you.

I learned very early that the Marquess of Queensbury was an idiot. When I finally got one bully down I sat on his stomach and beat the crap out of him till they pulled me off. The others pretty much left me alone after that incident.
