Current Events > Hypothetical scenario about a bullied kid killing their bully at school.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Said acts of bullying includes constant physical assaults in addition to the verbal and emotional abuse that the bully hurls at their victim on the daily basis. The school administration had been notified of this many times over a long period, but has not taken any action to curb it. Eventually, it escalates to the point where one day, the bullied student sneaks a gun into school and shoots their bully dead.

The chosen answer might be obvious, but maybe not. This world is full of greys, after all.

All of the above is correct but lets keep it real here...at the end of the day all of it happened because the bully was being a little asshole.

I hold the school accountable. I always hated that shit where you report it and nothing fucking happens. Only when its too fucking late do people start to care.

i hold basically everyone involved accountable to some degree in that situation, but the school most of all for letting the situation reach that point. second place goes to both sets of parents though

And someone was in charge of raising the even worse kid that somehow had a gun and didnt know any better to not use it.

all the people blaming the school, its wild how the blame always goes to the wrong people

It's the fault of the parents that leave their gun and ammo in a place where their kid can get it.

It depends on the severity of the bullying, but ultimately the failure rests on the school for letting it get that bad.

You can talk a mean game about the bullied kid taking responsibility for murder, considering that no one act their bully committed against them can be comparable to murder - outside of a few very severe crimes that are up there, like rape or dismemberment - but acts of bullying add up and it stunts the growth of a kid who already sorely needs socialisation and friends to catch up on the social skills they've lost through bullying and ostracization. That bully probably faced little to no accountability for what they did to the kid who snapped and killed them, and that's on the school administration.

There's no innocent party, everyone has blood on their hands. The only one that can't be called a victim here is the school, and it's due to their lack of action that the bullying - and the subsequent murder - took place.
