Bully or Upstanding Citizen?

To the man in South Euclid Ohio, who thinks that he has been given a sentence from a judge for a crime he did not commit. Think about this; the kids and family of your neighbors that you repeatedly “bullied”.

The young mom who adopted two developmentally disabled children, another of which was paralyzed. This is the same family that you would spit on their mom when she was jogging or working in her yard. The neighbors that you thought it would be a great idea to set up a system that would blow kerosene fumes in the direction of their home, to get back at them for the smell of fabric softener coming out of their dryer vents….

Think about that.

Then think about whether a judge “destroyed your life” by making you wear a sign that said "I AM A BULLY! I pick on children that are disabled, and I am intolerant of those that are different from myself. My actions do not reflect an appreciation for the diverse South Euclid community that I live in."

Please keep in mind Mr. Edmond Aviv, this is a sign that you had to wear on a corner for a mere 5 hours… while people in your neighborhood had to endure your whatever you choose to call it for 15 years. Am I being harsh by writing this? Read the story and you decide.
