Even worse is the guy that beats up and steals from the old man struggling up the stairs. I remember a video aired on a CNN or FOX news where it happened. Disgusting and utterly cowardly.Cpt_Oblivious said:I have the same problem, I'm the only one who notices the old man struggling up stairs / onto the train with his suitcase and goes to help out. Everyone else ignores it.
Yeah but what is violence going to solve? I mean since then the kid has toned down A LOT since he saw where his actions can lead him, But the guy who was going to fight him was HUGE, I would rather the kid not get a few broken bones for smart mouthing, that seems unfairbindox said:The smart mouth kid that you stopped from getting stomped just got a free pass to do more of what you are complaining about. If more people got face stomped for acting that way, it would happen far less. Maybe if you had let him get swatted once and then broke it up he might think twice before doing it again. Otherwise, you just helped perpetuate the very thing you are dismayed about.
I don't mean let him get his bones broken. I mean let him be scared witless so he understands the imminent danger of mouthing off to someone bigger than him. What happens when he does it and there is nobody there to save his sorry butt? As a bouncer I have broken up so many fights that I know when someone is about to get owned. If that guy that was much larger would have grabbed the smart mouth by the front of his shirt and yanked him real good and THEN is was broken up, fear instilled, no bones broken, lesson learned. It doesn't really matter if you condone violence or not, it happens anyway.LeonHellsvite said:Yeah but what is violence going to solve?

I know I'm not as mature as can be after all, I am only 16, but faking it... Thats not true I don't fake maturity, thats just as bad as being immatureDyskresiac said:Mature highschoolers? They never did exist.
If you're a highschooler and think you're mature... you aren't. You're just faking it. You haven't had any life experience, your hand is still being held for you, I don't care if you work a part time job.
Buy a house, live out on your own, pay your own bills, buy your own gas, your own games.
Then look back at what life was like before that level of responsibility- and you too will agree with my first statement.
Read above, He toned down a lot he saw what could have happened, I didnt prevent it from starting he was clearly losing as I walked by, he had a bleeding nose (and the next day bruises everywhere) I know at that point if any it should be stopped before he got badly injured, besides I know people like my brother would resort to violence before talking out a problem and the guy who was kicking his ass, well, he has a history of beating on other students for small things (He has broken bones and I was riking a lot and was pretty scared to try and stop it but, well, life is full of risks)jasoncyrus said:You shouldn't have broken up the fight. He bad mouthed others and someone was gonna beat his punk ass black and blue. People who do that deserve that because its coming one day. You simply showed him that no matter what he does to others someone will bail him out. People need to realise that if they arn't careful people WON'T bail them out. Congratulations you reassured him being a dick was awesome! GJ! -.-
