Time to bash Americans again

I’m sorry you have to go through that bro.
What I learnt about bullies is once you smack them in the face most of them will think twice before bullying you again.
Well that I did. I defended myself against a bully who started a fight with me, then the school admin sided with the bully and call the cops on me. Luckily my mother naturalized as a US Citizen so I was safe from potential deportations, but like jesus christ wtf.
Fuck that school admin. ACAB.

It’s sad that the school did that and sided with the bully, but at least you stood your ground.
It’s shocking that teachers over there seem so quick to call the cops which is sure to escalate any situation. We had fights in school in the UK and never had cops called. Maybe that’s changed now with knives and stuff, but

Yea schools will always side with the bully or just look at the one incident in isolation not as a pattern of abuse.
Also the school system just doesn't work, like one time I reported a kid for talking about bringing a gun to school and it got turned around to ME threatening to bring a gun to school. Then that was a whole feasco that me and my parents had to deal with.

So that's part of the same point. They COULD have access to guns and could shoot each other, but nobody wants to. Thus guns are only a problem when there’s other underlying issues.
But since US has the issues, you should lock guns away.

The fact that you can even be considered for deportation over that is so dumb. That's a child, like not an adult with adult capacity.

Yeah this confuses me to no end. I thought they made America great last election?
Because they live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance.

As a gun owner in USA, I fucking hate gun culture.
That's why I never tell anyone outside of my immediate family that I own a firearm. Because some weird fucking people in America exist. And they are gun nuts.
No bro, I don't want to talk about your 300 blackout how you wish someone would bust into your house so you can shoot them.
I keep my shit in my safe, that's it. It's not a personality.

Well to be fair, no formal deportation procedures were ever initiated, so idk if that was actually possible (but had I not been a Citizen, it would've shown up in the files if I went through naturalization, so the USCIS Officer could potentially use that to determine "Crimes of Moral Turpitute" or that it indicates bad "Moral Character" and try to delay or deny naturalization, so it really depends on if you roll the dice and get a Obama appointed USCIS officer, or a trump appointed one). But that was during trump term 1 so I already got a bit paranoid. trump term 2 definitely would've attempted to use that as an excuse.

It's not JUST the guns tbh. Everyone in Switzerland has a gun and they don't shoot eachother up. American society is fucked up on multiple different levels and the guns are just adding extra fuel and oxygen to a forest fire.
And until our societal issues are solved, the guns need to go back into Pandora's box.

If I must

eh.. in my country firearms are illegal, yet somewhat available.
heavy explosives/fireworks and WW2 grenades on the other hand.. plentifulThe above chap hit the nail on the head in terms of the UK.
Sure, hardcore criminals can get their hands on a gun, but the sort of people who want to cause trouble at a school certainly don't.
I went to one of the worst schools in the country and while some of our students did occasionally murder people out in their private lives (I lived in the biggest shit hole in the country - the government even said so), in the school itself the worst thing I ever saw was a pupil throwing a chair at a teacher. And that was incredibly rare and shocking.
A student did arson one of the maths rooms too but that was over the weekend when nobody was there. They really hated that teacher haha. We had to do the rest of the year's maths lessons in the Hall. So weird.
But ya, that's all the extreme cases, and they're nowhere remotely near "gun" territory. That's just insanity. I never felt unsafe in a school.

Nasty little fuckers.
There was an incident in Dundee recently that far-right knuckle-draggers (like emerald mine nepo-baby Elon Musk) tried to pass off as a 12 year old schoolgirl pulling a knife and fighting off an immigrant rapist, and it turns out she was just tooled up and threatening random strangers.

Europe has gangs and guns and whatnot. But people have more to lose I think. Something like that. Better education maybe?
Could be way better here as well
Every country have criminals and guns. The difference is how available they are to the general public. And what type of guns.
Anyone in the US that isn't a convicted felon can buy a handgun as soon as they turn 21. And there are very few laws on how you're required to store them.
Compared to Europe where it's incredibly rare for an average citizen to have access to a handgun.

Have you heard of "induced demand" courtesy of the FuckCars community?
Well, the same applies to violence.
If you have police on campus people subconsciously expect violence. It's a self-fullfilling prophecy. The more security theatre you add, the more actual security you'll need.
Normalizing shootings by giving them such media attention also doesn't help, if the prospective shooter craves it. Neither does the fact that it occupies a large part of the US public consciousness.
Some kids do it because others have already, and because school shootings are such a hot media topic.

That's an exarregation, right?
I don't think so. It is exactly like that in France.

Bullying is often in the form of low-level violence combined with verbal and other forms of harassment committed repeatedly by folks who enjoy it.
There is little hope of beating it at the same level of intensity and for reasons of culture and not prosecuting thousands of kids adults avoid dealing with low intensity harm between kids even when over time it is intolerable.
Beating up the bully requires one to be capable of such when the bully may be larger and physically imposing and part of a group then not getting treated as the guilty party afterward for being the one who actually caused real harm as if the harm of years of harassment aren't real.Its great your solution worked for you but for lots it would mean bully and friends get to beat you without consequence and you get in trouble reinforcing the game.
Its quite frankly on average a bs solution. The actual one is to pay attention to who is a pos and kick the 1% worst pos to shit schools so 99% can learn in peace.
