Who exactly is the real bully here? A trained rear-naked choker beating down a hapless teenager, or ?
I'm not sure how serious you want here and really don't want to get into a real big debate over this but just want to make a point.
A bully is someone who picks on people that he knows is weaker than he is. And more importantly, picks on someone who did nothing to merit his bullying. It's done solely out of malice (and whatever psychological issues that really don't concern me as I focus more on what a person actually does than why he does it). Furthermore, the bully's ability to actually be able to back up his threats, his ability to actually fight in this case, is not relevant. It's the bullying behavior that concerns me.
In this case it's very easy because the bully actually called out Miller. But say he didn't challenge Miller. Say Miller caught him bullying someone and Miller challenged the bully. Even pushed him to the ground. Does that make Miller now the bully? Do you morally equate the two situations?
There's a recent case in Hawaii where a man kidnapped a child (for reasons unknown as he asked for no ransom and did nothing to the child). He was caught and is now in jail. Essentially, the government kidnapped him and now is holding him like he held the child. Is the situation morally equivalent? When the government executes a murderer do you morally equate that with the murderer taking an innocent life?
You can have two essentially exact same situations and/or behavior but it is the CONTEXT that determines it's morality. Cutting someone's gut open can either be an act of violence or a life saving surgical procedure. Intercourse can be an act of love or rape. It is the context that will determine this.
There is a world of difference between someone bullying someone just because he can and the bully getting bullied. No matter how superior the hero is to the bully.
The best thing that can happen to a bully, as show in this clip, is to have a bully get his ass kicked. To crush his ego and humble him. To show how it feels to be on the other end. Knowing how someone else feels is the beginning of empathy and compassion. It does make you a better person.
Now fight me.
