Then he/she is no hero, unless they suddenly come across the bully assaulting someone and there is no time to call a teacher/authority/police.

Look at the law - for adults. If you hear someone is bullying a friend of yours and you visit the perp one night and beat the crap out of them, who is the one who will be arrested and charged? You: not the bully.

However, if you call at your friend's house and find the perp is there assaulting your friend, and you beat the crap out of the perp, you shouldn't be arrested.

However, these days the good guy seems to be the one treated as the perp, and the villain gets away with murder.

Conservatives have been shamed by liberals that we must alway be the good guys and never sink to their level, while they continue to do so.

Retribution is sometimes known as "justice."

If you require consent from the government--largely liberal--for justice, is it really?

I don't advocate random beatings over disagreements, but sometimes a perp needs taken behind the shed and explained a few things in their own oeuvre.

ImanAzol, your comparison of Conservatives and Liberals is (mostly) accurate, and made me smile! I do understand your point of view, but I think we are better people if we can deal with the bullies in a pro-active, kind way rather than give in to our understandable urge to "teach them a lesson". However, that may only apply to young people who can be set on a better path. In the case of military defense and aggression in warfare, your views are 100% correct.
