It's been all over the news. That is a good example of dealing with a bully like Shannon is talking about.

Honestly, good for that kid. I hate schools zero tolerance policy about walking away and ignoring the bully. Yeah as if that works. Walk away from a bully and you pretty much become an even bigger target. I'm not saying that violence is the answer, but if someone lays a finger on you, you should have every right to dish out some punishment.
Of course nobody believes in one on one fights anymore. Even if you knock an obnoxious punk out the next day they'll just get their boys to jump you or something. I see violence as last resort, and if I can avoid it I will.
Extreme parenting + Y2K sheltering kids = zero tolerance policies, and all that other garbage that theoretically sounds great, but fails the reality test. I read the self-defense statue, a person must attempt to flee an attacker or the defense is invalid. I have no problem with self-defense or sparring. Bullying is on my pet peeves list. America is going to crap lately. My grandpa told me if somebody called you a name back in his day, a fight was appropriate. Today, if you get your butt handed to you, any form of retaliation is unacceptable.
Eh, depends on where you are at and who is involved. Jumpings only happen where I use to grow up was if anybody interrupted a fight. I am MMA, and practiced with some friends, so I earned the title the person not the f*** with lol. I am only a white belt, but I do a lot of practice at home.
Wow, sex magnet is almost complete??! I'm going to have to get my hands on that soon.
Live your life the way YOU desire
