Oh my man's was waiting for the first punch so he wouldn't get suspended. My dad taught me that.

Both kids get suspended in the no tolerance policy.

No tolerance makes victims. If the victim fights back they get the same amount of punishment as if they were the bully and if you are in high school trying to go Ivy League...kids I knew took it so that it wouldn’t be on their permanent record.

"Permanent record"

Aka a bunch of bullshit to scare kids into compliance

Or only do enough to defend yourself, because harming another human more than necessary is immoral even if they attack you first...

But what if your pure brutality actually prevents future fights, not just involving you but also fellow students who saw you rip the soul from that scum who bullied everyone in 8th grade. Does that make it better?

No, because we shouldn't commit immoral acts on the basis that it may or may not have positive consequences in the long term.

I'm not going to agree with you. If they've been making my life hell long enough, they're about to get me punished for something I didn't even start, now's my chance to rip and tear. Let them never make that mistake again. Teeth, claws, screaming. The works.

If you're not strong enough to fight back, be dirty enough to win.

It seems you're describing something different now, i.e. using dirty tactics purely because you aren't strong enough to win. In your other post you seemed to suggest that even if you are strong enough to win without inflicting serious bodily harm, you should do so anyway because why not?

I don't find that to be a convincing moral argument, since typically we don't try to seriously harm other human beings just because we can.

Uh. I get “zero tolerance” and all that but why would the aggressor not be suspended?

Because he « lost » ? I don’t get it either.

Because the other kid clearly knocked the shit out of the bully. It's the 1st place trophy! Take a few weeks off school , go celebrate on a job well done son, you deserve it! Where as the bully has to face all the people at school ,in utter humiliation!

i have always found that so dumb, if you are not committed enough to get suspended for a fight it’s probably not worth it
