You were right. I told my son who's physically handicapped to do exactly the same to some bullies on his school bus. Then I called his principal, and told him what I'd done and why. He took appropriate action. The problem behavior went away. Of course, he was old school and worked in a rural district, and saved me a visit to the father of the boys creating the problem. I've taught my kids to avoid the bullies and fighting, but when it's unavoidable, just unload. (The Israeli's teach a self defense course in their school called Krav Maga. I'm looking into it for my granddaughter. She's one year and one day old as I type this.)<BR/><BR/>My case is similar sonarman's...I'll spare the details, although I love their telling...bottom line is that when you've had enough, and stand up to the bullies, it's amazing how fast they usually fade. Cowards. In my world there's no such thing as disproportionate force when dealing with self defence.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for reminding me of Bernie Goetz. We need more Bernies. I wonder where he is?<BR/><BR/>Molon Labelinearthinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201292791445921817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-1169844704673435602007-01-26T14:58:00.000-06:002007-01-26T14:58:00.000-06:00Being shipmates on opposite crews, you might remem...Being shipmates on opposite crews, you might remember me my physical stature. I was pretty runty growing up, and I was bullied in school quite mercilessly. Until I got to high school and started bulking up. With some added pounds and quite a bit of strength to bolster my confidence, I got into a few scraps with some of the toughest kids (and biggest) in school. They were cowards, and when confronted they backed down most of the time. The rest of the time I gave them reason enough to think twice before bullying me again. You are absolutely right in that a boy must stand up for himself. I had a foster child who was being bullied, and I told him the same thing you did, and I would back him up, and then take the school to task for not upholding their "no bullying policy". <BR/><BR/>When it comes to self defense with a gun, if its me in the dock, I'm hiring the same lawyers the cops use when they go on trial for using their gun.
