Demise of a Despised

[croda]

Here's a new question that I'm posing for the forum. If there was a kid in who was bullied repeatedly over the course of a year(s) that everyone knew about and no one did anything about, that one day snapped and killed the people who had been bullying him, how would you feel? Would you feel guilty at all, either for the death of the bullies, or the repercussions that the kid would now have to face? Would you feel bad for the bullies, or would you simply feel like they deserved what they got? etc. And if you're not in school or college, give it some thought anyways.

I would feel bad for the bullies families because losing a loved one is hard to deal with. I would at the same time feel bad for the kid that was getting bullied for the hard years he had to deal with. However, there is no reason to bully or kill anyone regardless of the situation. The kid that was getting bullied should have told someone... be it a teacher, the principal, or the police. If he did, all of this could have been avoided and perhaps dealt with in a peaceful matter.

They must teach kids in school that if you push someone far enough they will snap and go on a killing spree.

No, they must not.

I think the kid is guilty for his own actions as they are for theirs. But there could most definitely have been a solution acquired beforehand.

It shouldn't have gone on for so long, but sometimes it happens. It happened to me when I was a kid from kindergarden to high school. I was afraid to tell someone that it might make it worse or the teachers or my parents wouldn't believe me because I was a big kid. So I let it ride until I snapped and hunted down the bullies one by one. Now I was marked as a bully but the kids that were being bullied I was a hero kinda like the bullies bully. When I got the last one I quit school. I was 16. Now I'm 43.

I honestly would only feel sorry for the kid since he would have to face legal repercussions for his just actions, I honestly believe that vengeance whether it's violent or not is the only true way to get over something like this.

It's a tragedy for everyone. Of course, the bullies are not blameless, but neither is the bullied for his murders.

Of course, since I've been bullied when I was a child, I should have strong feelings about this matter, but we have laws in this country because individuals shouldn't just be able to decide when it's OK to take other people's lives.

I beleive this would be a very tragic situation but I just don't see murder as a justification for being bullied, I just think there are many other things you should try before ever ending someones life. So in all out reality I would feel sorry for both the kid and the bullies but I still wouldn't see the justification in it. Thats my opinion...
