Sometimes your pushed into a corner and the only way out is to fight. Whether it is to protect yourself from a physical assult or a constant emotional assult. I went through 7 years of being bullied as a child, now I watch my step-son go through the same thing. Sorry, but unless you have had to walk across the school parking lot in fear, walk the halls in fear, walk home in fear, and go to bed in fear of the next day for weeks and months at a time, you have no room to judge Adrians actions. I support you Adrian. Sadly, all the self esteem building exercises don’t always work. Sometimes your pushed into a corner and the only way out is to fight.

But defending himself against insults and bullying in no way makes him as guilty as the ones who were bullying him in the first place. I guess to some violent supporting citizens in Denver, tempting a bully by standing up to them allows the bully to commit violence with impunity. Is the proper way to not tempt a group boys that are bullying you, is to just let them beat you up? Being from the Denver area does not give one insight to the assault. Unless you are an involved party or witness. I am sure the bullies are attempting to negate their blame by saying the victim started it. Physical evidence would not support the attackers position. Unless in fear of even worse injuries if he didn't defend himself why would Adrien Fight a group of boys. Those that commit an assault should be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible by law.

To hear about this kind of stuff happening in schools. Where were adults when this happened? And he fought back to defend himself! Is there anything wrong with that? Also i think that the kid that beat him up needs to be taught what hate is. I think that adrian's parents must be VERY upset and angry and they have a right to be. This makes me ‘angry’.

Hmmm... who do you think is the bad person if that!? The bully of course. Sounds like Adrian had finally had enough and decided to confront his tormentor. That makes Adrian a brave young man who is fighting against evil. Sad, but I bet even after reading this, you still won't "get it." @Geoffrey Mickelson

Geoffrey and his minion... have you every had to fight off racism in your life? Have you ever been backed into a corner and been verbally attacked because of what you look like or because someone didn't like your name?! No one has the right to verbally or physically hurt anyone no matter if it is provoked or not! Yes, there is always two sides to a story... but there is no justification for a little boy to come home to his mother with his face disgraced by gashes and scrapes from anyone. I think that instead of trying to justify any side, both sides should be educated. Why can't the adults also discuss with a mediator of some sort what happened and not try to justify anyones mistakes? It all goes back to the parents, how they raised their children, and how MATURE they are. As a new mother, I am terrified to send my son to school with the thought that there is no protection for my baby! And there are repercusions for defending himself ???? I believe the way Billy Wolfe's case is being handled is a good example of fighting the right way. No matter anyone's opinion from that small-minded biased community, how can everyone just gang up on one person? No one seems to have compassion for his family. Those children that bruised his face, made him bleed did not think about how his mother felt having to see HER baby come home like that! YOUR DAMN RIGHT I'D SUE TOO! That's what takes real courage!... That's the best way, can't hurt them physically?... HURT THEM WHERE IT HURTS! THEIR POCKETS!--- maybe their parents will think about how they raised their kids when they can't afford cable and luxeries because of their childrens actions which they learned from them!!!!!

The boy's attackers called him a nazi, not only is that racist but it is unbelievably disgraceful. In my solemn opinion this would have to be the worst thing I have ever heard happen to someone. Now look I might only be in middle school but here;s my webiste which will change to bullying prevention. What I don’t understand is how this can’t be considered a hate crime.
