Just ask yourself her question and the answer is clear. Romney can't even advocate for himself effectively and bullied kids certainly can't count on a bully to protect them.

And it was terrorism. People that have not dealt with youth who have been done this way think it's funny. At least some of them. I never would.

There is something profoundly wrong with those who call this a prank, IMHO, although I'm glad some have learned, like Maxwell. There are boundaries we do not cross when we respect another person's right to exist without being punished for being different. Until we get there in this country for all our citizens (and our non-citizens), we will continue to feed into the hate and misery that will destroy us all.

I applaud Mrs. Shepherd for speaking about this kind of emotional and physical terrorism meted out by those who relish the pain of others. There are a lot of walking wounded in this country who have been beaten down and we wonder why they are not financially successful or make some poor choices. The ones who tormented them in some cases to the death, are often not punished.

If he has a weapon and a pack of like minded thugs around him, he's tough enough to attack an 'effeminate' younger student.

If he is called to serve his country in a war he backed, he runs off to France to teach them 'morals'. True grit.
