The Bullying Experiment

I pretty much stayed out of trouble in school, but one fine day a known AH came up as I was talking to a friend at his locker, and shoved him into the locker. I smacked the guy. He wanted to fight after school

What did I get for my trouble? Hauled in front of the letterman / sosh/ jock operated school kangeroo kourt. They wanted me to come in Saturday and work "for starting a fight". That was one of the first times I used some very very bad language in a public setting, telling them where to go, what to use doing so, and how.

This bully got his, although I certainly never would have wished that upon him. He later was killed, riding a motorcycle, illegally passing a car on a curvy road, hit head on. I'm sure that was very very upsetting to whoever hit him

On a side note, that same highway today is nearly impossible to recognize, from Sandpoint to Laclede and on to Priest River. All the tight, dangerous curves have disappeared, over the years.
