   The thing about bullies is that they
   1. make people feel afraid to confront them and
   2. crumple like a punctured inflatable lawn snowman when confronted. https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/113176745245664593

     Emergency rooms and — the ultimate weapon — indifference to what other people think. Bullies simply cannot abide that.

     And if they don't crumple: that's why we fund emergency rooms. It's better to end up with a bit of an external injury, than deal with the regret of not having intervened when someone was being bullied.
