Don't Be a Bully

There have been several incidents of bullying talked about at schools, eventually leading to suicidal attempts or murder sprees.

Well, in this case, a grown man couldn't handle being verbally harassed by his colleagues and did the number one thing we are all told not to do - he used violence to settle the issue. It made me laugh at first reading that this man was upset because he walked through a security scanner at work and all his colleagues saw that his male sexual reproductive organ was quite small. Then, I didn't find it so funny that he decided to hit his colleague repeatedly with his police baton as some sort of petty act of revenge.

If a full grown man cannot restrain himself and must resort to physical violence, how can society expect a young high school teenager or a preteen or even an elementary school student to abide by the rules and not get into fights? What kind of example do adults really set for the kids of this generation? I've talked about role models before, and like my teacher says at school, "You're a role model, sometimes whether you like it or not." So to Rolando Negrin, an airport security officer who apparently can't handle the fact that he has a small penis, I say this - you need anger management counseling and get over yourself.

You should have done a bit more research for this post, as the man was actually forced to go through the body scanner, as his boss forced him and his fellow co workers to test out the machine. After going throught the body scanner, his boss spent the rest of the week making fun of him, and was joined by the man's co workers, creating an extremely hostile environment. Yes, the man was not justified in striking his boss, but still, you should not only place blame on the man. Be careful about having your facts straight. But anyhow, I am a frequent reader of your blog, and enjoy hearing the opinions of a young American.
