You obviously know nothing about me – not that that ever stops you from talking.
In fact, I was regularly bullied as a kid. When I was 14, I was permanently expelled – not by the school, by the school
district – because I got angry about it.
All the school bullies had food fights every day in the cafeteria. That day, for a change, they decided to throw all their lunches at me. I got angry enough to kick over a garbage can. Two days later, I was told that I could not return to school until I could promise that no such incident would ever happen again.
‘So you want me to guarantee that nobody will ever throw food at another person in the cafeteria again?’ I asked them. ‘How am I supposed to do that?’
‘That's your problem,’ they said, and kicked me out.
I had to try to finish high school by correspondence courses, which had, in those pre-Internet days, a 98% failure rate. (Nobody told me that going in.) It took me more than twenty years to clear my academic record and get accepted by a university, because people who think like you decided that I was garbage and could never be anything else.
(I predict with great confidence that you will either ignore what I just said entirely or call me a liar. I don't expect you to believe me, because it might cause you to think that your own position is not 100% correct, and you don't appear to be the sort of person who does that. I usually don't talk at all about my private life on this board, but in this case I make an exception so that, I hope, some other people will understand what a colossally foolish accusation you have just made.)

The stuff he did goes beyond typical bullying and he did it at an age where he absolutely should've been conscious of it.

If he had
killed someone at that age, he wouldn't have a criminal record today. But you want him punished forever and believe he is incapable of ever being anything but, in your own words, ‘garbage’. This in spite of his junior coach, his (Black) agent, and other people who actually know him and deal with him every day, saying that he has become a model teammate and a good citizen. No, you just see the 14-year-old kid and want him punished forever.
And apparently now you think I'm just like him. What punishment do you have in mind for me, O Master of the Fates of Man?
