Why are you so hesitant to acknowledge the syrian boy as a victim? You keep ignoring what's in front of you to pretend that this was a fight instead of a bullying incident.

All you are doing is normalising bullying and you seem to be defending it by passing it off as something natural. It's quite suspect. You mentioned that your 'fights' never became news in your youth and given what your interpretation of what 'fights' consist of, it makes me wonder whether you were a bully and that's why you are hesitant to call this what it is because it's something you were guilty of as a child.

This wasn't a fight and calling it so will not change the facts, you're just spreading misinformation to suit your own agenda. This is an incident of bullying and trying to talk around it and vindicate the bully of blame by making out that they were both in the wrong won't work because the truth of the matter is common knowledge.
