As harsh as it sounds, would you be completely apathetic if a bully gets killed by a victim they've tormented?

Yes

No

I mean, yeah? Not because I think they deserved it or something stupid like that, I just dont have the emotional capacity to care about everyone around the world. I think there are at most like 70ish people I can actually genuinely care for? Outside of that there is just a general kind of empathy and the acceptance that there is suffering and death in this world that I can't do anything about.

A situation like this would just be something I relegate to the justice system to sort out and move on with my life.

bullying is a natural phenomenon but so is the reflex

if an entire school wants to bully a particular kid and justify their bullying for whatever reason e. g. his bad looks, family situation, ethnicity then it's perfectly fine if they are prepared for him becoming a school shooter in retaliation

[Asker]

The enraging part about school shootings in America is that absolutely none of the schools ever take any sort of responsibility or accountability for them happening as American public schools are atrociously notorious for defending and even enabling bullies.

that's how fucked up the world really is. the biggest bullies are actually the ones who don't believe they are bullies at all

these bullies love to preach victim preaching whilst at the same time actually blaming the victim for their circumstances and having the audacity to claim how important personality really is when they couldn't give a rat's ass about it on it's own

society would rather listen to celebrities like Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Prince Harry and LeBron James talk about their problems and completely demonize a disabled war veteran living in poverty who has been bullied, rejected and ostracized from the community

if these victims of bullying have to take blame and responsibility for their situation and it's their fault all the bad shit happens to them, then it makes sense that everyone else who gets caught in the crossfire deserves to take blame and responsibility for their situation

I don’t have to kill them. God can arrange something that I don’t even know about. Like three of my enemies killed themselves during the pandemic including a fourth guy who was a friend at the time of his death, but an enemy to me 11 years ago.

[petitedollbabee]

Depends on the bully and what they did. But in severe cases, yeah I would only feel sympathy towards the victim, not the bully. As the saying goes.. fuck around and find out.

[jshm2]

Don't be stupid.

You're claiming a girl getting catcalled and killing the person as she felt "tormented" should be excused, just as Joseph Fritzels daughter should if she killed her dad.

You haven't thought this through properly, kiddo.

Anyone can feel "tormented" over some stupid crap. Doesn't mean they have a pass to kill, as a result.

[Billlewis]

@jshm2 Exactly -- not all bullying is very bad, because the wimp who receives it is much better for it in the long run. I'm a prime example of this myself.

[Billlewis]

I'll always be eternally grateful to all the guys who bullied me when I was growing up, and I've even written to a couple of them, to thank them for helping me develop into the wimp I am today.

[exitseven]

I would not mind. maybe i would even smile a little bit.

[Anemone978]

Yeah more often then not they deserved it..

[OddBeMe]

What was happening at the time of death?
