As for going to the proper authorities, that's what i was advocating, that we push going to the authorities, because not all of us have the luxury to fight back.
And as far as the guns go. Yes, It can be a bad thing, look at Columbine. sure, they may have shot a few people they hated, but innocent people died too, because they were flat out disgruntled, and I never want to put myself in that position, where I'd even consider it, because I'm human, and I may snap.
As much as I may despise a bully, and want him to suffer, I'd really rather do the humane thing, report him, and see that he gets helped.
edited for grammar, because my hands are really freakin' cold

Well,
I respect the fact that you admit that you don't feel trustworthy with a gun. I wish some gunowners would do that.
As to the rest, well then that's also what we're talking about, isn't it?
Why do people stand around and watch the weak get beaten and not do anything?
And with that, I go back to my original premise: we are teaching people not to get involved, that someone else will take care of it, anyone, but not
us.
Personally, I get involved.
