Boy gets pissy (literally) after bully steals his Mtn. Dew

[Eisa]

blas, press charges, press charges! Look what he did to you!

Maybe it was wrong of him, but...it's not like he did it and then handed the drink to the bully. The bully went into his backpack to get it. For all he knew, "Todd" just had to pee that day, and the bottle was the only thing available.

He put it there, knowing exactly what was going to happen. If he had no idea it would be taken, that's one thing. But he did it and brought it to school for the sole purpose of having the bully take it. For all intents and purposes, he brought it to the school for the bully.

What's your point Greenday?

If the bully wasn't a scumbag thieving asshole that loves to hurt people, he'd never have to drink the piss. It's perfectly ok to steal from someone, but man, if that someone dares to do something to pervent it, he deserves punishment. I mean, how dare he defend himself. Bullies need soda too.

this reminds me of a bbc sketch show where some womans dog poops and she picks it up (and this was way before people got into the habbit) and put it in her hand bag, which was then stolen
mugger digs in to get money only to get a hand full of dog crap

I never read the link in the first post, but from what I've read in other posts, it was taken from his bag and not offered, I see that as a big difference.
true, he wasn't going to drink it himself, it was so it could be taken from his bag like all the others, but you just don't help yourself to peoples stuff time and time again without something happening.

With stuff in my shared fridge and freezer going missing, I've been tempted at times to let something I know I wont eat, but has been known to dissapear, thaw out for a while and put it back in as if I bought it that day and see if it goes.

I did leave a sandwich in my bag over night and left it in my locker finding it on the way back home from work, I put that in the fridge knowing I wouldnt eat it, someone did or they threw it away as it was a day out of date, that I find worse as even though its out of date, its still edible if stored correctly.

And the bully knew it didn't belong to him and he drank it anyway. I have no sympathy for people who do something they clearly shouldn't be doing, and it results in something bad happening to him.

In other words, fuck him.

My point is they both did something wrong. Hell, if anything, the kid did more wrong since he intended to cause physical harm.

... the kid did more wrong since he intended to cause physical harm.

And the bully didn't, with all the systematic abuse he undoubtedly put the kid through for God knows how long?

Two wrongs still don't make a right.

There's a proper way to deal with this situation, and spiking the drink will never be it.

^-.-^

Wrong.

Kid defended himself.

Say someone broke into your house, and attempted to beat you up. You both get pretty beaten.

Do you go to prison because hey, you caused the robber harm? I mean, that was two wrongs right?

All the kid did, was do something to his own drink. The bully had to go out of his way, 100 percent, to take said item to drink.

It wasn't offered to him.

No-one put a gun to the bully to steal the drink.

The bully stole the drank.

Kid did nothing wrong.

[Eisa]

I think the thing is that yes, it's gross to do that. But Plaid et al. are right. The kid did NOTHING to put that drink in the bully's way. The bully is the one who, well, had to do the bullying.

If the kid gets charged, I'm afraid that sets a bad precedent for not being allowed to stand up for yourself. Maybe he should have told the school but hell, maybe he already did and was ignored. Schools STILL aren't doing what they should when it comes to bullying [across the board, that is, I know that some schools are]. I might start spiking my own drinks if some bully kept pushing me around and stealing my drink. It's mine. Not his. What I choose to put in that bottle is my own business.

...although I really doubt I would pee in it.

[Greenday]

The kid did NOT defend himself. Defending himself would have been doing something to not have the kid take his drink.

He put brought the drink to school with the intent of giving it to him when he asked for it. That is malice intent and is rightfully so against the law.

[Plaidman]

What do you mean when he asked for it?

The bully TOOK it.

The bully never goes hey, May I please have your soda?

The bully goes "Hey asshole. This mine soda ok bitch!" *Chug*

HUGE difference between the two.

[Eisa]

^Er...didn't the bully just reach into his backpack and take it? He didn't hand it over. The bully took it.

What else should he do? He can't fight back, then he'll get in trouble and the bully walks free.

And for all everyone knows, the kid just likes drinking that. Stranger things have happened. lol

It's the same situation as it would be if the bully was allergic to peanuts, stole this boy's sandwich and then got ill from it having peanut butter.

The moment you steal someone's food or drink, you are in the wrong and anything that happens to you as a result is entirely your fault.

For example, I read on CS.com about someone who made a Diet Coke mentos bomb to catch a thief, who then ended up being soaked in Diet Coke after stealing the bottle from the fridge.

This situation; it's disgusting. I would not spike a drink with urine. However, I once did spike a can of Coke with vinegar after this bully at secondary kept stealing my drink. You can bet your life that said bully never stole my drink again.

He put it there with the intent of letting the bully take it.
