True and fair enough on all your parts. But I've stood by and watched this guy insult other people at least 25-30 times, and I've been insulted by him before. I've confronted him about it. He doesn't learn. He's a sheltered kid who thinks he's invincible, but he really just needed to be awakened to the world. Oh and yeah, he was bleeding. I really try to avoid violent contact, and only use it as a last resort, and this, since my friends and those people who were not doing anything to this kid, and he was just berating and berating, I felt I had to say something. So I did, then he turned on me, I told him to cut it out. He didn't. So I punched him. It was a series of bad decisions on his part and a series of me trying to solve it nonviolently. Most other times this has happened I've just left it, but since he's had so many chances, I feel that he had to wake up to the real world. You're right... Life's not fair.
