I agree the author's intended point was anti-gun. That is pretty clear


But after reading that account, I think if he had fired the shotgun, even an average lawyer could have kept him out of jail. And a good lawyer would probably get the kids who got shot thrown in jail for stalking/harassment/threats/assault.

While he was recounting his personal horror story, it was reading to me like a pretty darned good case study in what "being in fear for my life" looks like.

But I also think it does a really good job of highlighting how much of a problem bullying is, and how adults either don't want to deal with it, or don't know how to. There are people in this world who literally derive joy from being cruel to others. This isn't a misunderstanding that can be resolved through mediation or counseling. They just want to torment a younger kid because they think it is fun. What do you do with that type of person?
