		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s interesting that u refer to &quot;nice&quot; kids pulling the trigger on a vicious comment on FB. It&#039;s intriguing that cowards are often witnesses to bullying but now u say they are the instigators. I can report that ESPN openly endorses this behavior among its influential Comment contributors. There are so many nasty replies and butt jokes whose intention is only to dishonor and dismember ones confidence that it is foolhardy to expect intelligence to emanate from .that site. It&#039;s a childish site anyhow. Engrossing as the contract information can be for a super star or bench warmer it is not literally sports. The level on TV discussion by what I can only describe as big mouths is awash in twelve year contempt for your fellow human because you can. Because u can dehumanize, because you can fire someone, because you can get away with murder, fiduciary malfeasance, because you can torture. See where this is going? Nowhere really. &quot;Back in the day&quot; gym teachers would find a bully and make him pay. Or we&#039;d find an alley and take care of it ourselves. Or a ex-marine social studies teacher would horse collar a guy with a DA and make them pay so bad they&#039;d be out of school overnight and into the navy. But teachers aren&#039;t allowed to get involved today. But this is not news. 

The upside for the young lady from Montclair who may have been a victim and a survivor by victimizing in turn? We&#039;re not living in Russia, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia or any Islamic nation where men rule with the power of life and death, India&#039;s caste system survives, Pakistan and most parts of Africa including the Sudan. Or a farm in southern Israel which gets shelled by Hamas. Or worse by the medieval minded men who are among the Arab and ultra religious Jews in Israel who are misogynists. Imagine spitting on a nice young Jewish woman on her way to school because your version of the bible says women must wear long dresses. Or imagine you are secretly meeting a boy you should not be seeing in Pakistan or Egypt and you are stoned to death. Or worse: female circumcision. So while American children experience the humiliation and degradation of bullying which can pull a person down no doubt and the bullying is wrong and it won&#039;t help a person to know others have it worse, but maybe someday it will help to know that other people are starving to death because someone wants their oil or their land or their lives to be rotting in a field.]]></description>
