i’m lowkey kinda torn bc a part of me understands his side DEEPLY. racism is bullying, it’s also a bigger issue than that, but it’s bullying. i can only imagine if the rage i had in 7-8th grade had already materialized when i was bullied in elementary school and the things i might’ve done to my bullies if i DID have said rage. the problem with aggravated assault is that they were aggravated for a reason. maybe that doesn’t completely excuse it, but at least it’s a reason.
