Skinny little bully gets chopped in half by chubby kid.

Kid looks like juvenile delinquent that likes to set defenseless animals on fire.

Yeah, you nailed it, that's the big unknown and concern. My hope is that this can be one of the first major "tests" of the hyper-connected digital age in where to draw the line. There are adults now with "normal" lives who have bullied and been bullied, and none of them will ever have to worry about their past being permanently on record for the world to witness. So in that sense, this is very unfair to the bully. Why should he be tainted by this when people who did the same before the decade or so never were? It's just one example too, think of all the potential consequences legally and socially (i.e. getting hired) to actions like comment posts, downloading copyrighted files, posting/responding to taboo craigslist ads, any aspect of sexting, etc. At some point you'd hope that a "forgive and forget" standard can be established, especially when privacy is so easily compromised and exploited.

 

I agree.. I can't see adults being held responsible for actions they committed when they were like 12. That's ridiculous. We all do stupid things when we are kids.

 

The foolish optimist in me kind of hopes that the more all the shit that society previously swept under the rug is exposed, the more society will grow the fuck up and learn a bit of forgiveness and tolerance. Most adults are nothing more than big man-babies.

lol so true. human adults are pretty much just oversized children playing with different toys and hurting different hearts.

The dad doesn't seem to get it, lot of apathy overall. Richard's mom seems a bit less misguided

Lorna? Derek? Richard?

Richard's family, but mostly him and his dad...I'm also becoming increasingly apathetic to the whole story.

Wow, sadly that makes way too much sense.

The little shit should have known that prior to punching the fat one in the face...

I bet once they're back in school Richard's gonna get massive Stockholm syndrome for Casey and Casey will have his very own Milhouse.
