Take this as you will. I personally think he needs to own up to the battery charge and plead nolo contendre because regardless of if he was bullied he still battered the others and they have a right to due process of law. Charge the others seperately if need be. http://rainbowdash.net/url/588465

@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual This is a transgender bullying case so let the cherriesstorm begin

@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual I will never ever be okay with punishing a bullying victim for fighting back, ever.

@rarity Agreed. It doesn't matter if they were transgendered. They were being bullied; they could be white, straight, and male for all I care. Good on them for fighting back.

@mrmattimation Hmm. Uh, this was worded very poorly.

@rarity they could have filed a harrassment suet if they were being bullied. They could have got a restraing order if they were touched the wrong way. He didn't 'fight back' he initiated physical retaliation to verbal harassment making him the instigator which is why he's the one being charged.

@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual The verbal harassment was the instigator. Not the physical retaliation. That makes no sense.

@mrmattimation they cam get charged seperately but in the eyes of the law a physical altercation is seperate than verbal because they have different charges attached to them
Saturday, 11-Jan-14 23:23:34 UTC from web-
@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual They shouldn't. Verbal abuse is just as bad as, and can sometimes be worse than, physical abuse. Of course, this is just my view. I'm not asking you to share it.

@mrmattimation not in the eyes of the law. It's not even my opinion.

@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual you're right that they COULD have done those things, but that doesn't make what DID happen punishable. And the thing with bullying is, it's NOT about one situation. Not many kids snap and retaliate physically to words if it's just one encounter. It's called snapping because it's ongoing, and the victim can't take it anymore.

@rarity I'm talking about this situation and it does matter what they "could" do. The whole point is that they could have handled it differently and didn't and have to face the legal consequences.

@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual it shouldn't be a legal issue though, it's a school issue. If every single schoolyard brawl was brought to the police the cops would be doing nothing but.

@rarity the same argument is used for cocaine and heroine or speeding or donestic abuse even. If the police don't get involved then what happens when the cocaine user living off social security stabs an old woman for money for their fix, or the speeder causes a fatal accident, or the domestic abuser kills their partner.

@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual and you're free to think what you do

@mylittlesistercantbethisincestual I don't think that any person can honestly say what they should have done if one hasn't gone through the same circumstances that that person went through. It's easy to say "oh well he should have done this", but until you're harassed day in and day out for life choices, you'll never truly understand what they were going through and what could have kept them from making the legally correct decision.
Saturday, 11-Jan-14 23:26:11 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg the matter is not what circumstances sorround the failure to make the correct legal decision. The matter is that they did not make the correct legal decision. That is how the system works.

@flamingpandaomg that argument could be used by a man who kills his wife for cheating. You don't know what it's like to have a relationship that means a lot to you to the point that you'd be linked for life to that person crushed until it happens to you so in the moment you decided to make the incorrect legal decision.

@mrmattimation I was just banned a week ago for wishing death upon a terminally ill user. Don't admire me.

@rarity i'm only "arguing" because it's fun. I don't mind either way. I personally think the legal thing to do is prosecute but the social thing is to acquit
