this is the definition of a bully and it fits john james to a t-

bullying is a form of abuse. it comprises repeated acts over time that involves a real or perceived imbalance of power with the more powerful individual or group abusing those who are less powerful.
the public imbalance may be social power. emotional and verbal abuse is bullying.
bullying is an act of repeated aggressive behaviour in order to intentionally hurt another person psysically or mentally.
when a person inflicts injury or discomfort upon another person through words or in other ways.
social aggression includes spreading gossip, arguing others into submission.
Adults who bully have personalities that are authoritarian, with a strong need to control or dominate.
some bullies are arrogant, others use bullying as a tool to conceal shame or anxiety or to boost self esteem.
By demeaning others the abuser feels empowered.
They have a quickness to anger.
If agressive behaviour is not challenged in childhood there is a danger that it may become habitual.
bystanders may participate or watch sometimes out fear of becoming the next victim.
