sihsobhk That’s what they do. Every bully thinks they’re the victim. Every dictator thinks they are resisting against the oppressors. Every evil person believes they are the good guy.
Every evil person, whether they be a school bully, dictator or serial killer always blame everyone else for their behaviour. "I was abused as a child!" Is usually a common excuse. Also "my mother and father didn't love me" is another. Always a victim. Makes me sick!
i don't think he was laughing at that.. People laugh for different reasons.. I think he did it because he wasn't expecting that and it was a nervous laughter to deal with it. He definitely didn't handle it well after though by not owning up to it
I had a guy that graduated with me came into my store and asked why I have never been to a class reunion. He mentioned the lady in charge of putting them together had asked him to invite me. I told him they are the same assholes they were in school, same cliques, they didn't want me then and now I don't want or need them in my life and certainly don't want to be a part of their life on any level. I told him to pass along my contempt and to remove me from their list and never contact me again for any reason. I've made a good life for myself without their help, don't want or need them as customers and really have no interest in finding out who is still alive after all these years, if any who passed were bullies then good riddence.
@@pablooso1941 I was the opposite. I went to all the reunions and spent all night reminding the assholes how much of an asshole they were. I wasn't scared of bullies and assholes anymore. Now they don't have any more reunions incase I show up again and i'm blocked from all social media involving that school. All because I called the assholes out on their behaviour 20 years later. It was worth it though.
@@Me-qp8vz I went to a school reunion and got apologies from people. I only went for the free drink as I didn't actually graduate from that school as I had been bullied out when I was 13, but for some reason everyone thought I was still there!! HAHAHA I shit you not, it was weird to get the invite as I thought it was just a mistake when 'tagging' people, but nope, they genuinly didn't know I'd left. Our school had less than 600 students.
I ran into an elementary school bully years later in my early 20s. He cried, hugged me, apologized, and we talked about how he was becoming a teacher because he wanted to make sure that kids didn't do the kinds of things he did, and wanted to address the root causes of that behavior, and be able to also protect and support kids who may be getting bullied, etc. He didn't laugh at me and then go around playing victim.
People people people.....your comments are so self centered! (That's a whole other video.). But for chrissake it's about these two guys not YOU! Idiots!
I love how people act like their psychic or something. How in the hell can you know for sure that his laugh was a nervous laugh reaction to what happened? You don’t know that. His laugh was highly disrespectful and rude. Someone just said they almost took their own life due to some actions by him. Nervous or not it’s called self control. And quite frankly, I took his laugh more as a “wtf lol I cant believe this fool just did this lol” type laugh. A cocky “ha, wow yeah right” type of chuckle.
I was bullied 40 years ago in high school and you never never forget the humiliation and hurt tji s causes. And like this man you don't forget. It remains crystal clear in your mind.
i was bullied as a kid. i will never forget. but i forgive. they dont understand they were kids. grown up already i really got over it but i dont care about them nor interested in talking to them.
@@Naruto95722On the contrary, if that man was a narcissist, then he doesn’t have any confidence at all but he knew how to fake it till he made it. That guy was clearly a coward as he tried to laugh off his bullying in a failed attempt to seem apathetic in front of the public but it became clear that if he actually was confident, he wouldn’t have stepped down before doubling down that he was the victim in the situation. He definitely wasn’t.
@@hurdur6828 On that type of accusation a nervous person wont laugh. A non guilty person will become astranged , and surely ask questions. When was this? Which grade? etc. // If he just laughed at it , it was his nervousness for being called out. / The way he sits back and looks away is fear .
@@karnewsletters3328 , it might be an possibility. Nevertheless the victim did say he had witnesses who could testify. And unless you can prove there was monetary based motive otherwise, to make such statement it could be considered. true
Maybe he really doesn't remember doing this to Mr. Gay because he probably did the same thing to a lot of people. Mr. Gay is probably just one of many that he tormented.
lori s 100% speculation. I'm inclined to believe Mr. Gay that this guy bullied him, but there's no evidence for anything here outside of the guys word.
@@loris80 So does that make him a credible bully? I would guess that both men remember. If you shoved someone else's head in the commode or had it done to you, do you think for one minute that you would forget. Maybe a public apology should take place.
@@conniebarnes9274 Trust me, I think the bastard deserves whatever comes his way, I'm just saying he probably did this to anyone he could get his hands on.
I am a 59 year old woman from Australia and I was bullied throughout my school days and the pain I went through then still haunts me today. Those bullies didn’t just hurt me physically they hurt my psyche, throughout my life I have suffered with low self esteem and depression. I have never thought I was good enough at anything. I left school at 15 to escape the bullies and as I grew older I always felt I had to be what other people wanted me to be because being myself wasn’t good enough. When bullying happens to you as a child and throughout your teenage years it changes who you are and who you become, bullying affects you for life.
I relate. I was bullied too and always felt I had to be someone else, because who I was wasn't good enough. Unfortunately, I came from a very abusive home, so the two combined made me always struggle with self-esteem.
@@emac543 From an abusive family and bullied all my life in Australia too. Australian bullies just have that extra special flavour of smarmy smirky snarky cruelty don't they? I wish us all healing.
Same here, man. My immediate supervisor did everything he could to destroy my confidence. He repeatedly verbally abused me, scolded and humiliated me in front of department staff. It was a clear-cut case of workplace harassment. He treated a couple of other guys like garbage, too. The pattern I seemed to observe is that each of us were tall, clean-cut, and decent looking. I detected jealousy. I think he was especially hostile to me because - while the other two guys had dark hair - I am of Nordic lineage with light hair and green eyes; while he was a short, balding Muslim. Not even a year after I quit, I ended up in the same night school class with the jerk. At that point, I thought to myself, 'Oh my God. I can't shake this guy.". I was working at another place and I got my job there by finishing second overall in a mass of over 4,600 people who took a clerical exam. I was sitting on a bench in the hall when the bastard/manipulator approached me and then something occurred to me. 'Wait. We're in a neutral zone here now. He has no power over me here. Oh boy! This is my big chance to get even!". He wanted to know what I had been doing, and so I fulfilled his wishes for him. I, somewhat arrogantly, bragged to him about my exam result. I added, 'Somebody has MY title!'. You should've seen the look of fear on his face. It was a look I would've never seen when I was working in the same department with him. The big, scary man had instantly become a scared little boy. If you follow baseball; you'll know what kind of moment it was for me. I felt just like Jack Clark (1985) or Roberto Alomar (1992) did when they hit their respective crucial, ninth-inning home runs in the League championships. They stuck it to the opposing pitchers in clutch style. Well; I was in my first job out of college and he did everything he could to destroy my confidence. 'Guess he didn't like getting a taste of his own medicine!
When you are bullied, that stays with you for life and it moulds you into the adult you become. I was bullied throughout my school years and it has affected me in my adult life I don't have great self-confidence. unfortunately, kids don't see that when they are doing the bullying, they just think they are having fun - it's not fun!
I don’t even remember 90% of my classmates’ names and what they looked like, but I will never forget the name of the person that bullied me because he, up to this day, has an effect on my mental state!
Maybe he laughed cause he was confused about the absurdity of the situation? How would you react if suddenly somebody came to you and started accuse you of something that happened 35 years ago? Kids have always done stupid shit and majority grow over it.
@@wouldntyouliketoknow3277 Well, the very same thing happened to me as to this guy. And almost every week at school I got punched or kicked by older kids who I didn't even know. I know that some of these troubled cowards ended up in prison later in life. The violence stopped when I decided that I'm gonna kill one of the assholes if he ever kicked me again. Many times I've wondered what to say or do if I ever bump into these bullies today. Would I punch them? That's ridiculous. I think these morons had been bullied too and they suffered even worse. World is a violent place and full of sociopaths too. And we all need to deal with this insanity, preferably with constructive ways.
Eggs have the charm of not actually ruining anything. They just get sucked over the fuel line, stall the engine for a while and then slip off the line. By the time anyone thinks to look into the gas tank, piles of money has already been spent. My purpose was to annoy, continuously, for a long period of time and cause fruitless, expensive auto repairs. Annoy, don't destroy. I don't know what salt would do to an engine but I don't believe I would go that far.
My dad says there was this kid who got in a fight with his brother, and when he was working at a grocery store and ripped opened the seat in his car, put a dead fish in the hole, and sewed it back together. He said that even in the winter he'd drive with the windows opened because it smelled so bad. They went and poked their heads in a few months later and said it smelled terrible.
He doesn't want to talk to his "accuser"-the criminal wants to talk to the victim he assaulted, terrorized and drove to almost commit suicide. THERE-I fixed your headline.
It is through random surfing that I come upon this story and it starts to hit, how profound my own experiences affected me. It's taken a REALLY long time to see it and to start to attend to it
@@Mtchndra Look at logan and KSI fight. Not every fight is a battle of strength most fights require strategy and mind games. Flakko and just Walker to you and your family
When you get bullied you don't cordially ask to fight, you get them by any means. If that means shoving your fingers in their eye sockets and beating the hell out of them with no prior warning you do it. You are not beholden to some chivalry duel, you do what you gotta do to end the bullying.
I can't fathom how a principal would be made aware of stuff like that happening and just shrug it off. Or how teachers could be complicit in bullying like that. I kind of want to travel back in time and be a fly on the wall for a few days in schools in the 70s and 80s because I just can't wrap my head around what it was like for students those days.
I am so proud of you for calling out the bully. What you did was use your childhood torture to try to positively impact other bullied kids. The bully needs to be fired.
People tell you school is such a small part of your life and just get over with whatever happend. They forget that those are the years that shape you into the person you become.
He goes through a news station to say he wants to meet in private? He wants to meet in private so he can bully, threaten, extort, or bribe the guy to recant.
Yeah that school superintendent "Lance," wants a private meeting because he was totally embarrassed that he got called out in public decades later bu his victim. If I were that man I would insist on a very public meeting to "talk about it!!!"
Yes! Exactly what I said and there should be lawyers and witnesses in there as well. These two shouldn’t be alone in the same room together. No one should be alone with their abuser.
I was bullied until my freshman year in high school. The second day a senior hit me in the back of the head with a class ring. I snapped and cracked his forehead with a potted plant, stomped shit out of him and took the ring. No more bullying when I got off suspension.
Thank you, Greg. For staying with us all this time to stand up to a bully and raise awareness. You're saying that your bully is the one to help, but you're the one helping. You're the one with the power. Not your bully. Praise be to you.
Bullies indeed change overtime. Sometimes, because later they are bullied by a bigger bully. I regret bullying Franklin D and wanted to apologize after I grew up and knew how to contact him, but I was thinking that why would want to hear that shit from me, and I would just cause him to remember my conduct which I thought he didn't want to be reminded of. I was bullied by Ray G, and I hate him to this day. But everything about Lance statements seem to me that he is the same asshole.
@@stephenpace3943 trust me... the kid you bullied WOULD LOVE too hear from you... & too see how much you understand that what you did wasnt cool.... & that you cant change the past BUT you can start by changing the future
The super intendant laughed as his victim walked away... and said are you kidding me. Not the kind of role model I’d want governing my child in the school system.
I punched them on the face every time I got bullied. My father told me so. I said i was scared of the consequences, he said that would be his business. I was lucky to know someone would stand beside me if it got worst, but at the same time, he was like, man up first, then we'll see. It was such a small talk. Dad, I'm getting bullied What do you want me to do? Can you talk to them? No, just look for the leader and hit him on the jaw. Be the first one to swing. But I'll get in trouble. Leave that to me. That was it... I wish every kid had it that easy.
I'm even luckier. I mean, so far I'm only in seventh grade, but in all the schools I've been to, I've seen little to no bullying at all. Either that, or I'm really bad at recognizing subtle bullying.
Heh, dad gave me the same talk after I was beaten up by a bully for the first time when I was 9. I was being bullied by older kids that were on the same swimming team, all were older because I was a bit of a wonderkid (later on I broke a national record in my fav race, 200 breastroke, and was in european semi finals in my best year, never reaching my potential because I developed a drug problem when my childhood shit caught up with me). Anyway, I did what pops said. Next time I saw the bully and his gang,, he went for it again. The thing was I was as tall as most of them, except 10kg lighter as I was very skinny. He sucker-punched me in the plexus so he knocked all the wind out of me. I fell to the ground for few sec, and as I got my breath back, I got up and tried to throw one back, but was blocked and knocked out for 15sec (as told by my only friend there). Looking back now, I should have known this doesn't work against 10cm taller and 15kg heavier kid who was actually a very intelligent sociopath. Let's call him Dom. The worst part of that ordeal was that literally THE WHOLE SWIMMING GROUP OF 20 AND THE COACH WERE ALL RIGHT THERE. It was preseason, so the team went on an hour run in the local nature park that has kilometers of paths. It all happened as we were half way up the highest point of the park, basically 15minute walk back to the exit. And after the first punch, I looked up to coach who was just like "go on, defend yourself". As I came back from that knockout, coach just said "I'm your coach, I'm not here to parent you. let's continue with our run, kids!" and he took off and the rest of the team except for my friend followed. Basically 10 other guys and 10 girls, all just left me on the ground. Later on, after my parents went berserk, the physical torment more or less stopped; I only got punched maybe 5 times over the next 4 years of the whole ordeal; stripped naked in front of the whole pool complex at a swim meet; almost drowned once when one of the kids pulled me down underwater and held me down for over a minute (I could hold my breath far longer at that time but he pulled me just as I exhaled, I guess); one of the kids would just always try fighting me but even though he was older, he was shorter and I guess felt threatened?dunno he now works as a morgue grunt if that says anything. The worst part was the abuse that didn't stop- verbal. I was ostracized, called a certain name, and was brought to tears daily while the coach did nothing even if it happened in front of him. So, after 4 years of that shit, I was a different person. A shell of what I was meant to be. I developed defensive mechanisms that alienated most of my peers, I would take any kind of criticism as a personal attack, and I never developed close relationships with anyone as I am fundamentally broken. I wish I could balance the scales somehow, but that sociopathic bully killed himself around 2y after I moved to a different group/coach. The old swimteam grouped up and went to the funeral, as did I. Some of his friends were crying, and all I could think was he stole my chance to get even, ever. I offered my condolences to his father while wishing his pos son is burning in hell with the rest of the scum that ever slithered on this earth. That kid systematically drained my soul of love until all that was left was hate, rage, and anguish.
He not only did not say he was sorry (even if he did not remember), he laughed. Tells you right there the bully mentality. He had no kind awareness of what this man went through at all.
The dude resigned, if it was fake he would've denounced such allegations. If it were true he would have apologized and tried to make peace with the man. Instead, he laughed at him and ultimately resigned.
People make this kind of stuff up all the time, it's a classic tactic used to get your own way, get some sort of settlement or just embarrass someone else. If no one has ever done this sort of thing to you, consider yourself blessed.
I'm in my 30s and I was never bullied. But my mother was. It really twisted her self esteem up. I can tell that even after all this time it still bothers her.
As someone that was bullied I can tell you this , it stays with you forever. At 49 I can remember it like it was yesterday and it happened 36 years ago. Only difference for me was I lockered my bully the next year. And that ended his career of bullying me.
To me, this is how it ends. People coming forward and telling their stories and how it changed them. Talking about the repercussions that kids can not for see. Giving the kids seen as weak power. This is more powerful than anything I have seen the schools doing, even though many schools are truly trying.
Bullying destroys lives. I got bullied for 3 years when i was in middle school. 15 years later it still affects my social behavior and my ability to give someone my trust.
"Let's talk about this later" The words of somebody who's trying to prevent their image from completely slipping into the sewers. No regret, just trying to save face.
I can relate to this story directly. When I was bullied I was ready to put my life on the line. Amongst other physical and emotional abuse one of my experiences was having two boys carry me to a toilet and force my head under water. They held it under. They flushed. It felt like I was being drowned. This was when I was in 7th grade. The feeling of having your face forced into a toilet is completely dehumanizing. After they let me up I mildly punched one of them in the chest and he punched me harder in the face. They reminded me - ‘there’s two of us’ Those two boys were the product of privilege and parents that spoiled and enabled them. No discipline. One of the boys began using cocaine that year or the next. He ended up an addict, with the parents having the money to put him through expensive therapy. I think the other one had issues with drugs as well and that one bullied me all throughout high school. I’ll never forget the atrocities committed on me. They shaped me and unfortunately instilled some chilling lessons on me that I’m still working to undo. Remember to love as much as possible in this world. Love is the only defense against human corruption and decay. Stay committed to morals that benefit humanity. Peace.
I met one of my former bullies in the club the other day. He doesn't seem to have grown an inch since elementary school, his future job is going to be to make floors or smth, and he acted like i was some sort of famous guy just because i was there with 3 girls who are friends of mine. Apparently the guy doesn't even talk to girls at all, and we're both 16. That guy hasn't matured since elementary school, meanwhile i'm having a great time with the best friends you could imagine. I gotta say that feels really good
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you think you are or were alone. It is vitally important that you KNOW we stand with you, and I certainly do, having been through dehumanizing assault, like you did. CHILDREN IN THE US DO NOT HAVE CIVIL RIGHTS. That is something that must change. Please look at yourself in the mirror. I am standing next to you. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
Bullying is traumatic. Still experiencing PTSD after 10+ years. Sometimes I'll lay in bed and think about it and cry wishing I had stood up for myself.
I know that feeling. I am still haunted by numerous occasions and play them back trying to figure out how I could have responded better. Its not healthy to do that obviously but it's always there even if you push it down, and the pre anxiety of it happening next time is there too. You are not alone and we are not alone. God Bless
The fact that he LAUGHED when confronted by his accuser said it all. It's as if his veil was lifted and everyone saw exactly who he they thought he is and to those who thought he would never be that kind of person.............it sickened them and they felt betrayed
I remember back in the early 80s there was this football player, (Ryan) who was a complete jerk and a bully. He used to pick on this one boy Michael all the time until Mike couldn't take it anymore. Our school had an octagon shaped office building and I remember walking on the left side, ( it was about 8 am ) and seeing Michael run up to Ryan, (his bully) and stabbed him in the stomach three times with a knife. I was only 14 years old at the time and I can still remember the sound of that knife sliding into Ryan's Belly. Ryan survived that attack but he was never the same after and had major issues with his stomach. Michael was put in a psychiatric hospital for two years. I can honestly say Ryan never bullied anyone again. You never know when your victims breaking point is to harm themselves, their abuser, or others.
So true. I can say this because I was also bullied horrendously. After retiring from the Marines I started my own business....with $400 and turned it into a regional success. I didn't want to work for someone else and have to face more bullies so it's best I work as my own boss.
Bullying in the workplace can last for years and years and it's difficult to leave when you have a good paying job. But my recommendation to you and actually I'm begging you just start putting out applications at other places it's worth it to lose your seniority to gain a workplace were you don't have to deal with these evil bullies. The Lord says vengeance is mine, those beliefs will get what's coming to them but you need to protect yourself.
@@sselemaNrM: Agreed, laughing in situations in itself doesn't mean that someone's necessarily a bad person or that they're guilty, though I am biased cause I laugh in situation where I'm nervous!
Not at all buying what this guy is selling. My BS meter is off the charts. 1) Lance Hindt had no idea this story would go viral, that's why initially he didn't give a crap about Greg Barrett. He didn't think tens of millions around the world would know who he is and for negative reasons. 2) 1983 lawsuit where he admitted in the deposition to severely injuring William Stein and leaving him unconscious in an alley - that's on a whole next level of psycho. 3) Stupid, canned PR statement... (weeks after initial incident) 4) Saw him outside school meeting laughing, smiling and taking selfies. 5) True, devout Christians would never use the "Only God can judge me" card. 6) Multiple witnesses who can not only back up Greg's story, but have their own horror stories 7) Now that sh*t's hit the fan - he's in crisis mode and just now made a big show of wanting to meet with Greg. If Lance really had decent intentions he would have done it much sooner and privately. Getting an extremely bad, douchey vibe from "Dr. Lance Hindt" and would say he's only doing damage control to help stop all the blow back and God forbid he lose his $375,000 a year sweet job! He's the worst kind of guy who will only do what's right if it makes him look good and helps his popularity. The whole "people change" defense is also unacceptable to me. That totally dismisses and marginalizes victims of bullies. Often, the bully gets to go about living their lives, totally forgetting about all their past behavior, and never having to face consequences for their actions. Schools and teachers are only part of the equation, it's the parents' responsibility to actually teach children right and wrong to ensure they do not end up a garbage person like Lance freaking Hindt. This dude makes my blood boil.
It does seem like he has done what you're suggesting to quite a few others... Oh yes, and from what I understand, Lance Hindt has NOT actually reached out to Greg the alleged bullying victim. He just said that to news crews.
I don't even understand how a loser like him got his DOCTORAL degree. Since when do schools accept students who beat up their victims until they almost die to attend AND how in the heck did he get THAT assault kept off his criminal record? How was a settlement reached? Who did he or his parents know to get that taken or kept off?🤔🤔 Reached a settlement my a$$!!!! So many questions that I do not even know where to begin. We have yet to hear an apology for HIS actions but have heard an apology for the annoyance this has caused. The fact that people are trying to save this jackhole's job is a joke and they need to take a good look at themselves and ask why are they wasting their time. I know I wasn't a saint growing up. I would say my life was more like that movie, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. As someone was making my school life unpleasant, I'm sure I was making someone else's schoolife not as pleasant. But I didn't wake up looking forward to pick on somebody. If someone approached me today and accused me of bullying or being mean to them in school and I didn't remember them, I would definitely apologize and say how much school sucked and probably offer to take them out to lunch or dinner and talk about our school days. This dude was a jerk to so many people and he knew it. He should have just apologized right off the bat instead of trying to do damage control. He is making himself look worse, as if that is even possible.
And Lance is gone! He resigns as a totally disgraced man that never had the character to admit his past deeds and offer apologies to his victims and ask for forgiveness.
I was a bully in second grade to a kid named Mathew. We went on a field trip to a zoo and I bullied him over and over by calling him "Mouth-ew". I got a lot of cheers for it. Then I saw Mathew cry as we walked on a path and I felt horrible. I befriended him right then and there and never bullied anyone again. At first he was hesitant thinking it was a set up, but he realized quickly I was serious and we became friends. I moved schools the following year, but was always glad I was able to make up a bit for being a bully to this kid.
Teasing is one thing, you recognized you crushed his self esteem and hurt his feelings, your empathy made you different that a bully who has no empathy, just a pure black heart bent on destroying. You were not a real and true bully, you did the right thing and I can assure you the kid remembers to this day what happened when you turned off the heat and showed compassion.
I never forget the things they used to do to me in High School, teachers and school never did anything, it really affected me as a person. I still go through life asking what is wrong with me.
You are not alone in this. Not only did I get bullied at school I then got bullied at home for not standing up to the school bullies. Head staff did not help, In fact they made the bully head girl of the school. It still has an effect on my self worth and confidence.
@@Ethericrose It was similar, I had lighters heated up and burnt into my hands, scars are very bad. I got assaulted by a gang that knew the kids in particular, it was so bad I just remember running behind me, being punched so hard and kicked by three guys and waking up in hospital. Police never even came to investigate. Another time I had, like almost bowling ball size rocks, thrown at the back of my head. And when I finally stood up for myself and flogged one of them, went to police to press charges, they tried to talk me out of it as they were classed a juveniles for the court system, two of them admitted guilt in court the last one turned everything around and said I assaulted them.
@@manhattanhusky Always remember, the issues are with them and not with us, we didn't ask to be bullied, infact I know you're like me, it would never enter our heads to hurt another human. Someone once said to me...Stand proud, chin up high, shoulders back, take three breaths and move through life with pride". It's good to remember on days when I feel emotionally flat and beaten. Peace to you friend. 🤝
Greg is one of the lucky ones, he lives to tell his accounts. Too many people who were bullied or hurt in some way, as an impulsive teen you react to hurting the self. Greg contemplated suicide, and thank goodness he's alive to bring this stuff out in the open. Lance Hindt is either too proud or cannot comprehend that his actions lead people to being self destructive. Hopefully Lance's kids will not have to suffer what Greg went through, not only because it's painful but because Lance's kids don't have an appropriate parent to get help from.
Bullying got me to a dark spot. Ever since I was a kid and until junior year i got bullied. I got beaten up, got punished by teachers several times, got sexually assaulted, got beat up during nights in our retreat. I fought back at my bully and the adrenaline i had humiliating him and beating him up really made up for what he did to me all those years. Heck i get to flirt with his ex (i don't know how she became her boyfriend because the guy is disgusting as hell). The lesson here is beat up those bullies *NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES* and be sure that they stay down, but no killing
It's really hard to forget painful moments. Sometimes they never let me sleep. I got bullied by my teachers and sad thing is, still they are in service, and someone will be in my place now, facing those bullying, I don't call them as teachers, they are witches.
Being bullied is the most traumatic thing that could happen to a growing mind i was from a poor background i got bullied a lot growing up i almost left school but I persevered now i have hours in Agricultural economics i have a good job all those who bullied me amounted to nothing
The boy who bullied me mercilessly died in a car wreck ive never forgotten how much I feared going to school on a daily basis. It's wierd and I do feel sorry for his family but in a way I feel like karma caught up to him but I wish I had the chance to confront him like this.
This is weird because the same thing happened to me. He was a little chihuahua nipping at my heels from a distance. His car flipped over in a canal ditch because his car breaks failed. Can you believe they named a scholarship after the pos? I'm wondering if it's the same person. 😖 I would see him one last time when I was 18. He would not stop starring and I can only imagine what he was thinking? His accident occurred the following weekend.
I was bullied in school as well as my son when he was in school. He is now homeschooled because one of the main issues was the bullying. I'm glad your taking a stand against this issue. I hope more parents will start to as well.
I was bullied all through middle school, mainly due to my bad skin. I daydream sometimes that I could go back and knock the living Hell out of those kids that bullied me. Oh, Lord... I would screw them up bad. Here I am; a grown man at 39, still thinking about that pain. That kind of shit, that deep-cutting psychological torment, especially at that age (12-14), can stay with you forever. Bless him.
Read my previous texts here. I did what you daydream of thanks to the Marines and the special forces Recon training returned from Vietnam a well prepared warrior to confront the bullies and did exactly that...I went big game hunting, the game was every bully I could find. Each cried like the little bitches they were and begged me to stop, I did show mercy but only when I knew they could not get up without medical assistance.
I was bullied when I was in school ,you never forget it and it effects your whole life,just remember God loves you and feels your pain and he's always there even in hopeless situations
I am a pretty good judge of character. I was a bullied kid and then was severely abused at home. There were a few things said by both men and body language I picked up on that led me to believe Mr. Gay. The fact that he didn’t want Lance to lose his job and felt as a former bully he could recognize a bully was the clincher for me. Lance is still a bully and it’s obvious. I haven’t read any updates on this story, but I feel safe in saying that any legal action Lance took was a waste of time. Mr. Gay, it looks like you’re doing well. Confronting Lance had to feel good and just know that the lions share of the people learning this story, and likely even those who claim to be friends of Lance, believe he was a bully.
@@ashuranero5721 I am 80's kids and I was bullied too in my younger days. I dont know how kid deal with bullies nowadays but, in my time we do eye for an eye. Gather a few friends and hit them as hard as they hit us. Never back out otherwise its gonna get worse. The bullies bleed and feel pain just as much as you.
@@abominablesnowman876 If you do that know you might get in trouble with the police, unfortunetly. And i think the reason they bully one in the first place is that they have a group and the victim doesn't, so this is easier said than done
@@ashuranero5721 The police will not come at them. The bullies already doing that and where is the police? You never get bullied dont you? There is no reason for a bullying. They do it because they can do it. Getting back at them is better than putting .45 in your mouth. The police don't care. If they truly care, the bullies would not be doing all the thing they are doing instead, they graduate and become ISD superintendant. Please, dont get bullied and stay silent, gather friend and get back at those bullies. I'm not telling people to kill their bullies. Just punch back if they punch you. I understand that things might have changed since then. I was just sharing my experience. Let your anger guide you towards them bully and not towards yourself. Do not kill yourselves over this. like I said, they bleed and feel pain just as much as you.
I'm so glad you came forward and confronted him. I didn't like he had an smile on his face. When you first said you put your head in toilet. Made me so mad. I will be praying for you I understand what it does to your mind and thoughts. Stay strong. There are a lot of people behind you.❤❤🙏🙏❤
keops1977 Unfortunately, Bully Hindt left with almost 3/4 of a million dollars courtesy of the taxpayers. He's laughing all the way to the bank. One can only hope that one of his multiple victims has a "face to face encounter" with Loser Lance & shows him the error of his ways ...
Can I say well done you, I was bullied every day of my school life and like you nothing was done,I couldn’t even go to my parents because they would have gave me another belting for not standing up for myself.nobody who hasn’t been bullied can not understand how much it affects you even into your adulthood
And the bully grew up to be in a position of authority and still, he hasn't learned his lessons in life - just laughing as his victim explains how traumatic the whole thing was for him.
"Allegations." Yeah, the guy's still a bully. I had one for years I refer to as "Bob." As the years have gone by I've had more and more adult's approach me to tell me they were victims as well. Damage far and wide.
Reminds me of an Indian story. You know a snake bites because it bit you... years later you meet the snake again and it says, please pet me, I won't bite you, I promise. You pick it up, pet it and it once again bites you. The snake says..what did you expect, I'm a snake, it's what I do.
being severally bullied through school and early work life (by grown men, i was 15) It does stay with you for life. Iam 31yrs old and still to this day watch my back and feel like each new person i encounter will eventually attack me in some sort of way. for this reason i have lots of trouble with interpersonal relationships - even my ex gf told me "you think everyone is out to attack you, NO ONE is attacking you" I wonder how this human nature of bullying was dealt with through out our History? imagine the horrors people injured through human history due to bullying, its clearly a human instinct/trait.
People say, "Get over it." "Kids will be kids." No, our childhood experiences good and bad help to lay the foundation for our interactions and how we handle situations in our adulthood. But for this douche to laugh at Gay means that he fully remembers what he did to him. He hasn't forgotten just as Gay hasn't forgotten.
The worst part is the bully played victim.
sihsobhk That’s what they do. Every bully thinks they’re the victim. Every dictator thinks they are resisting against the oppressors. Every evil person believes they are the good guy.
Typical action taken by a narcissist when they're exposed. He should be jailed.
Every evil person, whether they be a school bully, dictator or serial killer always blame everyone else for their behaviour. "I was abused as a child!" Is usually a common excuse. Also "my mother and father didn't love me" is another.
Always a victim. Makes me sick!
They always play victim.
No that's not the worst part. Worst part is Lance got 750k for this.
Forgot to mention that Gay tried to commit suicide when he got home from school that day, and the monster just laughed.
__________________________ you’re entitled to your opinion

i don't think he was laughing at that.. People laugh for different reasons.. I think he did it because he wasn't expecting that and it was a nervous laughter to deal with it. He definitely didn't handle it well after though by not owning up to it
Nova his parents did not originate his last name
How can anyone laugh when someone says he was kicked, degraded and almost committed suicide?
I had a guy that graduated with me came into my store and asked why I have never been to a class reunion. He mentioned the lady in charge of putting them together had asked him to invite me. I told him they are the same assholes they were in school, same cliques, they didn't want me then and now I don't want or need them in my life and certainly don't want to be a part of their life on any level. I told him to pass along my contempt and to remove me from their list and never contact me again for any reason. I've made a good life for myself without their help, don't want or need them as customers and really have no interest in finding out who is still alive after all these years, if any who passed were bullies then good riddence.
@@pablooso1941 I was the opposite. I went to all the reunions and spent all night reminding the assholes how much of an asshole they were. I wasn't scared of bullies and assholes anymore. Now they don't have any more reunions incase I show up again and i'm blocked from all social media involving that school. All because I called the assholes out on their behaviour 20 years later. It was worth it though.
@@Me-qp8vz I went to a school reunion and got apologies from people. I only went for the free drink as I didn't actually graduate from that school as I had been bullied out when I was 13, but for some reason everyone thought I was still there!!

@@Me-qp8vz that's awesome
Only a devil like him would do that
I ran into an elementary school bully years later in my early 20s. He cried, hugged me, apologized, and we talked about how he was becoming a teacher because he wanted to make sure that kids didn't do the kinds of things he did, and wanted to address the root causes of that behavior, and be able to also protect and support kids who may be getting bullied, etc. He didn't laugh at me and then go around playing victim.
I hope that was healing for you. Did you confront him or did he admit it when he saw you?
People people people.....your comments are so self centered! (That's a whole other video.). But for chrissake it's about these two guys not YOU! Idiots!
that such a great story
He did the right thing
Hope he really did the right thing and was not using this as a ploy to get access to bully more kids
The news forgot to mentioned that Lindt laughed at Garrett.
...a minute after the man admitted he almost committed suicide because of Lindt's actions.
It was more of a nervous laugh more than anything. Its when you know you're in some shit.
Bullies never change and that laugh proves it.
No, you guys are actually too simpleminded to realize that his laugh was not malicious, but rather a nervous reaction.
I love how people act like their psychic or something. How in the hell can you know for sure that his laugh was a nervous laugh reaction to what happened? You don’t know that. His laugh was highly disrespectful and rude. Someone just said they almost took their own life due to some actions by him. Nervous or not it’s called self control. And quite frankly, I took his laugh more as a “wtf lol I cant believe this fool just did this lol” type laugh. A cocky “ha, wow yeah right” type of chuckle.
I was bullied 40 years ago in high school and you never never forget the humiliation and hurt tji s causes. And like this man you don't forget. It remains crystal clear in your mind.
Jesus, get over it loser.
A Hindt huh? Uh oh, we have an unwashed Wiccan on our hands. I wonder why you were bullied?!! It's such a mystery!
i was bullied as a kid. i will never forget. but i forgive. they dont understand they were kids. grown up already i really got over it but i dont care about them nor interested in talking to them.
Truth
Hahahaha grow up
This is also proof that bullies manage to weasel their way into positions of power and authority.
I think its a about self confidence,, you know people who have been victim , have low confidence 😢😢😢
Yep, a lot of bullies are anti-social narcs, and can manipulate others into getting their ways. Unfortunately, many can become successful through lies
Exactly! Snakes in suits!
@@Naruto95722On the contrary, if that man was a narcissist, then he doesn’t have any confidence at all but he knew how to fake it till he made it.
That guy was clearly a coward as he tried to laugh off his bullying in a failed attempt to seem apathetic in front of the public but it became clear that if he actually was confident, he wouldn’t have stepped down before doubling down that he was the victim in the situation. He definitely wasn’t.
If you're innocent you don't laugh at those accusations. He proved his guilt with that reaction.
If you look at his body language, the laughs, looks away, he clearly knew what he was talking about.
howd ya know
My thinking exactly. The laugh is not because he thinks Gay is funny, but because of nervousness.
@@asmrbully6980 Body language?
@@hurdur6828 On that type of accusation a nervous person wont laugh. A non guilty person will become astranged , and surely ask questions. When was this? Which grade? etc. // If he just laughed at it , it was his nervousness for being called out. / The way he sits back and looks away is fear .
@@karnewsletters3328 , it might be an possibility. Nevertheless the victim did say he had witnesses who could testify. And unless you can prove there was monetary based motive otherwise, to make such statement it could be considered. true
Maybe he really doesn't remember doing this to Mr. Gay because he probably did the same thing to a lot of people. Mr. Gay is probably just one of many that he tormented.
lori s 100% speculation. I'm inclined to believe Mr. Gay that this guy bullied him, but there's no evidence for anything here outside of the guys word.
Om Nom Nom - Well, he didn't deny it though. He also sounds very credible in further interviews.
Sadly, it’s true.
@@loris80 So does that make him a credible bully? I would guess that both men remember. If you shoved someone else's head in the commode or had it done to you, do you think for one minute that you would forget. Maybe a public apology should take place.

Apparently he wants a "do over."

I am a 59 year old woman from Australia and I was bullied throughout my school days and the pain I went through then still haunts me today. Those bullies didn’t just hurt me physically they hurt my psyche, throughout my life I have suffered with low self esteem and depression. I have never thought I was good enough at anything. I left school at 15 to escape the bullies and as I grew older I always felt I had to be what other people wanted me to be because being myself wasn’t good enough. When bullying happens to you as a child and throughout your teenage years it changes who you are and who you become, bullying affects you for life.
I relate. I was bullied too and always felt I had to be someone else, because who I was wasn't good enough. Unfortunately, I came from a very abusive home, so the two combined made me always struggle with self-esteem.
@@emac543 From an abusive family and bullied all my life in Australia too. Australian bullies just have that extra special flavour of smarmy smirky snarky cruelty don't they? I wish us all healing.

How does workplace bullying work?
deeznuts1600 just like how any bullying works just instead of at school it’s at work
Same here, man. My immediate supervisor did everything he could to destroy my confidence. He repeatedly verbally abused me, scolded and humiliated me in front of department staff. It was a clear-cut case of workplace harassment.
He treated a couple of other guys like garbage, too. The pattern I seemed to observe is that each of us were tall, clean-cut, and decent looking. I detected jealousy. I think he was especially hostile to me because - while the other two guys had dark hair - I am of Nordic lineage with light hair and green eyes; while he was a short, balding Muslim.
Not even a year after I quit, I ended up in the same night school class with the jerk. At that point, I thought to myself, 'Oh my God. I can't shake this guy.". I was working at another place and I got my job there by finishing second overall in a mass of over 4,600 people who took a clerical exam.
I was sitting on a bench in the hall when the bastard/manipulator approached me and then something occurred to me. 'Wait. We're in a neutral zone here now. He has no power over me here. Oh boy! This is my big chance to get even!".
He wanted to know what I had been doing, and so I fulfilled his wishes for him. I, somewhat arrogantly, bragged to him about my exam result. I added, 'Somebody has MY title!'. You should've seen the look of fear on his face. It was a look I would've never seen when I was working in the same department with him. The big, scary man had instantly become a scared little boy.
If you follow baseball; you'll know what kind of moment it was for me. I felt just like Jack Clark (1985) or Roberto Alomar (1992) did when they hit their respective crucial, ninth-inning home runs in the League championships. They stuck it to the opposing pitchers in clutch style.
Well; I was in my first job out of college and he did everything he could to destroy my confidence.
'Guess he didn't like getting a taste of his own medicine!
When you are bullied, that stays with you for life and it moulds you into the adult you become. I was bullied throughout my school years and it has affected me in my adult life I don't have great self-confidence. unfortunately, kids don't see that when they are doing the bullying, they just think they are having fun - it's not fun!
💯👍
Same here. When I even think about this happening to other kids it breaks my heart. I was so afraid. Always covered in bruises.
I don’t even remember 90% of my classmates’ names and what they looked like, but I will never forget the name of the person that bullied me because he, up to this day, has an effect on my mental state!
They lacked to show how the superintendent laughed after his speech, thus bullying him again.
That bully is not fit to lead any school district.
Maybe he laughed cause he was confused about the absurdity of the situation? How would you react if suddenly somebody came to you and started accuse you of something that happened 35 years ago? Kids have always done stupid shit and majority grow over it.
@@jaska05 When the guys starts talking you can see Lance has a reaction. He looks away and looks awkward. it looks like he did remember...
@@jaska05 sounds like you were a little shit as a kid as well
@@wouldntyouliketoknow3277 Well, the very same thing happened to me as to this guy. And almost every week at school I got punched or kicked by older kids who I didn't even know. I know that some of these troubled cowards ended up in prison later in life. The violence stopped when I decided that I'm gonna kill one of the assholes if he ever kicked me again. Many times I've wondered what to say or do if I ever bump into these bullies today. Would I punch them? That's ridiculous. I think these morons had been bullied too and they suffered even worse. World is a violent place and full of sociopaths too. And we all need to deal with this insanity, preferably with constructive ways.
He laughed at his live opportunity to speaking to "his accuser". Glad he resigned, the kids in that district are blessed.

I put eggs in my bully's gas tank twenty years later; it cost him thousands.
Clan Symbiont LMFAO
Funnny comment. I put salt in my buddies gas tank.....
Eggs have the charm of not actually ruining anything. They just get sucked over the fuel line, stall the engine for a while and then slip off the line. By the time anyone thinks to look into the gas tank, piles of money has already been spent. My purpose was to annoy, continuously, for a long period of time and cause fruitless, expensive auto repairs. Annoy, don't destroy.
I don't know what salt would do to an engine but I don't believe I would go that far.
My dad says there was this kid who got in a fight with his brother, and when he was working at a grocery store and ripped opened the seat in his car, put a dead fish in the hole, and sewed it back together. He said that even in the winter he'd drive with the windows opened because it smelled so bad. They went and poked their heads in a few months later and said it smelled terrible.

All lance needed to do literally was just solemnly apologize and it would've been over. Now its too late
It takes a level of decency to be honest and say I was wrong very wrong I am sorry, Lance does not have a shred of decency.
He doesn't want to talk to his "accuser"-the criminal wants to talk to the victim he assaulted, terrorized and drove to almost commit suicide. THERE-I fixed your headline.
It is through random surfing that I come upon this story and it starts to hit, how profound my own experiences affected me. It's taken a REALLY long time to see it and to start to attend to it
A one-on-one meeting, at the flagpole after school, right?

When you get bullied you don't cordially ask to fight, you get them by any means. If that means shoving your fingers in their eye sockets and beating the hell out of them with no prior warning you do it. You are not beholden to some chivalry duel, you do what you gotta do to end the bullying.
Absolutely no kid should go through what that man had to endure.
I can't fathom how a principal would be made aware of stuff like that happening and just shrug it off. Or how teachers could be complicit in bullying like that. I kind of want to travel back in time and be a fly on the wall for a few days in schools in the 70s and 80s because I just can't wrap my head around what it was like for students those days.
Being bullied is not something the victim never forgets. They remember every time.
He remembered doing it. He laughed about it. He still thought it was funny.
I am so proud of you for calling out the bully. What you did was use your childhood torture to try to positively impact other bullied kids. The bully needs to be fired.
People tell you school is such a small part of your life and just get over with whatever happend. They forget that those are the years that shape you into the person you become.

Yeah that school superintendent "Lance," wants a private meeting because he was totally embarrassed that he got called out in public decades later bu his victim. If I were that man I would insist on a very public meeting to "talk about it!!!"

Well said. My thoughts also.
I was bullied until my freshman year in high school. The second day a senior hit me in the back of the head with a class ring. I snapped and cracked his forehead with a potted plant, stomped shit out of him and took the ring. No more bullying when I got off suspension.

Thank you, Greg. For staying with us all this time to stand up to a bully and raise awareness. You're saying that your bully is the one to help, but you're the one helping. You're the one with the power. Not your bully. Praise be to you.
The fact he was laughing shows he didn't take it seriously
Bullies don’t change their spots until they are dead
pretty sure thats objectively untrue
Bullies indeed change overtime. Sometimes, because later they are bullied by a bigger bully. I regret bullying Franklin D and wanted to apologize after I grew up and knew how to contact him, but I was thinking that why would want to hear that shit from me, and I would just cause him to remember my conduct which I thought he didn't want to be reminded of. I was bullied by Ray G, and I hate him to this day.

Can you talk to them?
No, just look for the leader and hit him on the jaw. Be the first one to swing.

For sure. Never let any bully disrespect you like that. Even if you lose every fight you’ll earn people’s respect. It’s also how prison works
I'm even luckier. I mean, so far I'm only in seventh grade, but in all the schools I've been to, I've seen little to no bullying at all. Either that, or I'm really bad at recognizing subtle bullying.
This isn't about you ....
Heh, dad gave me the same talk after I was beaten up by a bully for the first time when I was 9.
I was being bullied by older kids that were on the same swimming team, all were older because I was a bit of a wonderkid (later on I broke a national record in my fav race, 200 breastroke, and was in european semi finals in my best year, never reaching my potential because I developed a drug problem when my childhood shit caught up with me).
Anyway, I did what pops said. Next time I saw the bully and his gang,, he went for it again. The thing was I was as tall as most of them, except 10kg lighter as I was very skinny. He sucker-punched me in the plexus so he knocked all the wind out of me. I fell to the ground for few sec, and as I got my breath back, I got up and tried to throw one back, but was blocked and knocked out for 15sec (as told by my only friend there). Looking back now, I should have known this doesn't work against 10cm taller and 15kg heavier kid who was actually a very intelligent sociopath. Let's call him Dom. The worst part of that ordeal was that literally THE WHOLE SWIMMING GROUP OF 20 AND THE COACH WERE ALL RIGHT THERE. It was preseason, so the team went on an hour run in the local nature park that has kilometers of paths. It all happened as we were half way up the highest point of the park, basically 15minute walk back to the exit. And after the first punch, I looked up to coach who was just like "go on, defend yourself". As I came back from that knockout, coach just said "I'm your coach, I'm not here to parent you. let's continue with our run, kids!" and he took off and the rest of the team except for my friend followed. Basically 10 other guys and 10 girls, all just left me on the ground.
Later on, after my parents went berserk, the physical torment more or less stopped; I only got punched maybe 5 times over the next 4 years of the whole ordeal; stripped naked in front of the whole pool complex at a swim meet; almost drowned once when one of the kids pulled me down underwater and held me down for over a minute (I could hold my breath far longer at that time but he pulled me just as I exhaled, I guess); one of the kids would just always try fighting me but even though he was older, he was shorter and I guess felt threatened?dunno he now works as a morgue grunt if that says anything.
The worst part was the abuse that didn't stop- verbal. I was ostracized, called a certain name, and was brought to tears daily while the coach did nothing even if it happened in front of him. So, after 4 years of that shit, I was a different person. A shell of what I was meant to be. I developed defensive mechanisms that alienated most of my peers, I would take any kind of criticism as a personal attack, and I never developed close relationships with anyone as I am fundamentally broken.
I wish I could balance the scales somehow, but that sociopathic bully killed himself around 2y after I moved to a different group/coach. The old swimteam grouped up and went to the funeral, as did I. Some of his friends were crying, and all I could think was he stole my chance to get even, ever. I offered my condolences to his father while wishing his pos son is burning in hell with the rest of the scum that ever slithered on this earth. That kid systematically drained my soul of love until all that was left was hate, rage, and anguish.
Wise father.
He not only did not say he was sorry (even if he did not remember), he laughed. Tells you right there the bully mentality. He had no kind awareness of what this man went through at all.

I'm in my 30s and I was never bullied. But my mother was. It really twisted her self esteem up. I can tell that even after all this time it still bothers her.
As someone that was bullied I can tell you this , it stays with you forever. At 49 I can remember it like it was yesterday and it happened 36 years ago. Only difference for me was I lockered my bully the next year. And that ended his career of bullying me.
To me, this is how it ends. People coming forward and telling their stories and how it changed them. Talking about the repercussions that kids can not for see. Giving the kids seen as weak power.
This is more powerful than anything I have seen the schools doing, even though many schools are truly trying.
Bullying destroys lives. I got bullied for 3 years when i was in middle school. 15 years later it still affects my social behavior and my ability to give someone my trust.

"Let's talk about this later"
The words of somebody who's trying to prevent their image from completely slipping into the sewers. No regret, just trying to save face.
He had a chance to talk to him at that board meeting, but he scoffed at him instead....
I cant believe Lance just laughed at him when confronted!
I can relate to this story directly. When I was bullied I was ready to put my life on the line. Amongst other physical and emotional abuse one of my experiences was having two boys carry me to a toilet and force my head under water. They held it under. They flushed. It felt like I was being drowned. This was when I was in 7th grade.
The feeling of having your face forced into a toilet is completely dehumanizing.
After they let me up I mildly punched one of them in the chest and he punched me harder in the face. They reminded me - ‘there’s two of us’
Those two boys were the product of privilege and parents that spoiled and enabled them. No discipline.
One of the boys began using cocaine that year or the next. He ended up an addict, with the parents having the money to put him through expensive therapy. I think the other one had issues with drugs as well and that one bullied me all throughout high school.
I’ll never forget the atrocities committed on me. They shaped me and unfortunately instilled some chilling lessons on me that I’m still working to undo.
Remember to love as much as possible in this world. Love is the only defense against human corruption and decay. Stay committed to morals that benefit humanity. Peace.
Your Beautiful Words Have Touched My Heart And Soul. I Hope you are fine and happy now. May god punish the monsters who assaulted you!
The fact that you managed to chose love over revenge says alot about the purity of your heart. God bless you.
I met one of my former bullies in the club the other day. He doesn't seem to have grown an inch since elementary school, his future job is going to be to make floors or smth, and he acted like i was some sort of famous guy just because i was there with 3 girls who are friends of mine. Apparently the guy doesn't even talk to girls at all, and we're both 16. That guy hasn't matured since elementary school, meanwhile i'm having a great time with the best friends you could imagine. I gotta say that feels really good
You are not alone. Many of us went through dehumanizing bullying and stand with you.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you think you are or were alone. It is vitally important that you KNOW we stand with you, and I certainly do, having been through dehumanizing assault, like you did. CHILDREN IN THE US DO NOT HAVE CIVIL RIGHTS.
That is something that must change. Please look at yourself in the mirror. I am standing next to you.

Bullying is traumatic. Still experiencing PTSD after 10+ years. Sometimes I'll lay in bed and think about it and cry wishing I had stood up for myself.
I know that feeling. I am still haunted by numerous occasions and play them back trying to figure out how I could have responded better. Its not healthy to do that obviously but it's always there even if you push it down, and the pre anxiety of it happening next time is there too.
You are not alone and we are not alone. God Bless
I'm similar and which I did things better too.
Any way I can help you.
The fact that he LAUGHED when confronted by his accuser said it all. It's as if his veil was lifted and everyone saw exactly who he they thought he is and to those who thought he would never be that kind of person.............it sickened them and they felt betrayed
I remember back in the early 80s there was this football player, (Ryan) who was a complete jerk and a bully. He used to pick on this one boy Michael all the time until Mike couldn't take it anymore. Our school had an octagon shaped office building and I remember walking on the left side, ( it was about 8 am ) and seeing Michael run up to Ryan, (his bully) and stabbed him in the stomach three times with a knife. I was only 14 years old at the time and I can still remember the sound of that knife sliding into Ryan's Belly. Ryan survived that attack but he was never the same after and had major issues with his stomach. Michael was put in a psychiatric hospital for two years. I can honestly say Ryan never bullied anyone again. You never know when your victims breaking point is to harm themselves, their abuser, or others.
Sir, I'm so glad you didn't end your life. God bless you and I pray for you and all those who are and were bullied and abused. God bless you all.
He probably only wants details on the timeline so he can work out a plausible defense with his legal team.
the fact that he knows how bullying can affect kids that he stood up to make sure it didnt happened again is amazing
I know how this man fells I been bullied in high school and where I work at it's like a record that plays over and over
I hope you’re okay
Damn. Just stay strong . Believe in yourself
So true. I can say this because I was also bullied horrendously. After retiring from the Marines I started my own business....with $400 and turned it into a regional success. I didn't want to work for someone else and have to face more bullies so it's best I work as my own boss.
Bullying in the workplace can last for years and years and it's difficult to leave when you have a good paying job. But my recommendation to you and actually I'm begging you just start putting out applications at other places it's worth it to lose your seniority to gain a workplace were you don't have to deal with these evil bullies. The Lord says vengeance is mine, those beliefs will get what's coming to them but you need to protect yourself.
@@pablooso1941 Is it okay if I ask what the business is? It sounds really cool.
People don't always remember what you say, but they'll always remember how you made them feel.
There’s no explanation for laughing in that situation except psychopathy.
No, people laugh for many reasons, and its not always humor. That was a nervous laughter from shock. He didn't have anything to say
@@sselemaNrM: Agreed, laughing in situations in itself doesn't mean that someone's necessarily a bad person or that they're guilty, though I am biased cause I laugh in situation where I'm nervous!
Not at all buying what this guy is selling. My BS meter is off the charts.
1) Lance Hindt had no idea this story would go viral, that's why initially he didn't give a crap about Greg Barrett. He didn't think tens of millions around the world would know who he is and for negative reasons.
2) 1983 lawsuit where he admitted in the deposition to severely injuring William Stein and leaving him unconscious in an alley - that's on a whole next level of psycho.
3) Stupid, canned PR statement... (weeks after initial incident)
4) Saw him outside school meeting laughing, smiling and taking selfies.
5) True, devout Christians would never use the "Only God can judge me" card.
6) Multiple witnesses who can not only back up Greg's story, but have their own horror stories
7) Now that sh*t's hit the fan - he's in crisis mode and just now made a big show of wanting to meet with Greg. If Lance really had decent intentions he would have done it much sooner and privately.
Getting an extremely bad, douchey vibe from "Dr. Lance Hindt" and would say he's only doing damage control to help stop all the blow back and God forbid he lose his $375,000 a year sweet job! He's the worst kind of guy who will only do what's right if it makes him look good and helps his popularity.
The whole "people change" defense is also unacceptable to me. That totally dismisses and marginalizes victims of bullies. Often, the bully gets to go about living their lives, totally forgetting about all their past behavior, and never having to face consequences for their actions. Schools and teachers are only part of the equation, it's the parents' responsibility to actually teach children right and wrong to ensure they do not end up a garbage person like Lance freaking Hindt. This dude makes my blood boil.
It does seem like he has done what you're suggesting to quite a few others... Oh yes, and from what I understand, Lance Hindt has NOT actually reached out to Greg the alleged bullying victim. He just said that to news crews.
I don't even understand how a loser like him got his DOCTORAL degree. Since when do schools accept students who beat up their victims until they almost die to attend AND how in the heck did he get THAT assault kept off his criminal record? How was a settlement reached? Who did he or his parents know to get that taken or kept off?🤔🤔 Reached a settlement my a$$!!!! So many questions that I do not even know where to begin. We have yet to hear an apology for HIS actions but have heard an apology for the annoyance this has caused. The fact that people are trying to save this jackhole's job is a joke and they need to take a good look at themselves and ask why are they wasting their time.
I know I wasn't a saint growing up. I would say my life was more like that movie, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. As someone was making my school life unpleasant, I'm sure I was making someone else's schoolife not as pleasant. But I didn't wake up looking forward to pick on somebody. If someone approached me today and accused me of bullying or being mean to them in school and I didn't remember them, I would definitely apologize and say how much school sucked and probably offer to take them out to lunch or dinner and talk about our school days.
This dude was a jerk to so many people and he knew it. He should have just apologized right off the bat instead of trying to do damage control. He is making himself look worse, as if that is even possible.
And Lance is gone! He resigns as a totally disgraced man that never had the character to admit his past deeds and offer apologies to his victims and ask for forgiveness.
Jen Talks Forever Thank you for taking the time to write, and post, such an excellent comment. Keep up the good work- it's much appreciated.
Jen Talks Forever 1 Lance is an Asshole 2 Greg needs to learn to fight 3 who gives a shit
When Lance laughed at his accuser at the meeting it just goes to show that most bullies never change they just get older. What a POS.
1:47 yes I am sure you wanted him to talk to you nice and privately, where you can intimidate , discredit and deny long before things come to light.
Just another opportunity to re-victimize.
bullying has ruined many many lives, and bullies rarely get held to account.
I get it from "friends" all the time
This should also be a lesson to parents. Do not name your son Greg.
LMAO
Eightosaurus Spelunk OOF. Lmao 😂😂
It does turn you into a Wimpy Kid, doesn't it? (A Diary of a Wimpy Kid)
Jokes aside, Greg was brave. Not wimpy at all.
UNDERRATED COMMENT YO LMAOOO
Kind of rude... but I get where some people find it comedic
I was a bully in second grade to a kid named Mathew. We went on a field trip to a zoo and I bullied him over and over by calling him "Mouth-ew". I got a lot of cheers for it. Then I saw Mathew cry as we walked on a path and I felt horrible. I befriended him right then and there and never bullied anyone again. At first he was hesitant thinking it was a set up, but he realized quickly I was serious and we became friends. I moved schools the following year, but was always glad I was able to make up a bit for being a bully to this kid.
Teasing is one thing, you recognized you crushed his self esteem and hurt his feelings, your empathy made you different that a bully who has no empathy, just a pure black heart bent on destroying. You were not a real and true bully, you did the right thing and I can assure you the kid remembers to this day what happened when you turned off the heat and showed compassion.
@@pablooso1941 Thanks.
I never forget the things they used to do to me in High School, teachers and school never did anything, it really affected me as a person. I still go through life asking what is wrong with me.
You are not alone in this. Not only did I get bullied at school I then got bullied at home for not standing up to the school bullies. Head staff did not help, In fact they made the bully head girl of the school. It still has an effect on my self worth and confidence.
@@Ethericrose It was similar, I had lighters heated up and burnt into my hands, scars are very bad. I got assaulted by a gang that knew the kids in particular, it was so bad I just remember running behind me, being punched so hard and kicked by three guys and waking up in hospital. Police never even came to investigate. Another time I had, like almost bowling ball size rocks, thrown at the back of my head. And when I finally stood up for myself and flogged one of them, went to police to press charges, they tried to talk me out of it as they were classed a juveniles for the court system, two of them admitted guilt in court the last one turned everything around and said I assaulted them.
@@manhattanhusky Always remember, the issues are with them and not with us, we didn't ask to be bullied, infact I know you're like me, it would never enter our heads to hurt another human. Someone once said to me...Stand proud, chin up high, shoulders back, take three breaths and move through life with pride". It's good to remember on days when I feel emotionally flat and beaten. Peace to you friend. 🤝
I commend you Greg...you are a real man and your story is one of strength and perseverance.
God bless ya brother
He was still bulling him by laughing at him.
Greg is one of the lucky ones, he lives to tell his accounts. Too many people who were bullied or hurt in some way, as an impulsive teen you react to hurting the self. Greg contemplated suicide, and thank goodness he's alive to bring this stuff out in the open. Lance Hindt is either too proud or cannot comprehend that his actions lead people to being self destructive. Hopefully Lance's kids will not have to suffer what Greg went through, not only because it's painful but because Lance's kids don't have an appropriate parent to get help from.
Bullying got me to a dark spot. Ever since I was a kid and until junior year i got bullied. I got beaten up, got punished by teachers several times, got sexually assaulted, got beat up during nights in our retreat. I fought back at my bully and the adrenaline i had humiliating him and beating him up really made up for what he did to me all those years. Heck i get to flirt with his ex (i don't know how she became her boyfriend because the guy is disgusting as hell). The lesson here is beat up those bullies *NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES* and be sure that they stay down, but no killing
He never bothered to apologize.
If he really wanted to say sorry he would’ve the day he got confronted.
He was just trying to meet up to save face.
The fabulous moment when the past meets the present and future. Justice.
It's really hard to forget painful moments. Sometimes they never let me sleep. I got bullied by my teachers and sad thing is, still they are in service, and someone will be in my place now, facing those bullying, I don't call them as teachers, they are witches.
Call them out!! Save those who are headed that way!!!
So sorry Sir. I have two children and I'm fortunate they were not bullied. I hope one day this pain of yours disappears. God Bless you and yours.
Being bullied is the most traumatic thing that could happen to a growing mind i was from a poor background i got bullied a lot growing up i almost left school but I persevered now i have hours in Agricultural economics i have a good job all those who bullied me amounted to nothing
I feel so sad for this gentleman to have had to experience such a painful and traumatic thing.
but did you ever stand beside the bullied and try to stop it?
The boy who bullied me mercilessly died in a car wreck ive never forgotten how much I feared going to school on a daily basis.
It's wierd and I do feel sorry for his family but in a way I feel like karma caught up to him but I wish I had the chance to confront him like this.
This is weird because the same thing happened to me. He was a little chihuahua nipping at my heels from a distance. His car flipped over in a canal ditch because his car breaks failed. Can you believe they named a scholarship after the pos? I'm wondering if it's the same person. 😖 I would see him one last time when I was 18. He would not stop starring and I can only imagine what he was thinking? His accident occurred the following weekend.
Big L for him
I also was brutally bullied. My heart goes out to this man.
I was bullied in school as well as my son when he was in school. He is now homeschooled because one of the main issues was the bullying. I'm glad your taking a stand against this issue. I hope more parents will start to as well.
I was bullied all through middle school, mainly due to my bad skin. I daydream sometimes that I could go back and knock the living Hell out of those kids that bullied me. Oh, Lord... I would screw them up bad. Here I am; a grown man at 39, still thinking about that pain. That kind of shit, that deep-cutting psychological torment, especially at that age (12-14), can stay with you forever. Bless him.
Read my previous texts here. I did what you daydream of thanks to the Marines and the special forces Recon training returned from Vietnam a well prepared warrior to confront the bullies and did exactly that...I went big game hunting, the game was every bully I could find. Each cried like the little bitches they were and begged me to stop, I did show mercy but only when I knew they could not get up without medical assistance.
I have never bully any one in my life.
But I do wanna say I’m so sorry for any one out there whom being bully and abuse ..
You are a kind person, there should be more like you and this bully crap would end.
I was bullied when I was in school ,you never forget it and it effects your whole life,just remember God loves you and feels your pain and he's always there even in hopeless situations
I'm so glad you stood up to this bully. He'd still be a bully in his workplace because he won't admit his role
I doubt he remembers. This probably wasn’t the only kid he bullied.
I am a pretty good judge of character. I was a bullied kid and then was severely abused at home.
There were a few things said by both men and body language I picked up on that led me to believe Mr. Gay.
The fact that he didn’t want Lance to lose his job and felt as a former bully he could recognize a bully was the clincher for me.
Lance is still a bully and it’s obvious. I haven’t read any updates on this story, but I feel safe in saying that any legal action Lance took was a waste of time.
Mr. Gay, it looks like you’re doing well. Confronting Lance had to feel good and just know that the lions share of the people learning this story, and likely even those who claim to be friends of Lance, believe he was a bully.
One of the few adults that actually remembers issues they had as a kid and tries to make a change.
You never forget being bullied. It engraved on your very soul.
@@abominablesnowman876 But the bullies will either forget or laugh at their victims torment
@@ashuranero5721 I am 80's kids and I was bullied too in my younger days. I dont know how kid deal with bullies nowadays but, in my time we do eye for an eye. Gather a few friends and hit them as hard as they hit us. Never back out otherwise its gonna get worse. The bullies bleed and feel pain just as much as you.
@@abominablesnowman876 If you do that know you might get in trouble with the police, unfortunetly. And i think the reason they bully one in the first place is that they have a group and the victim doesn't, so this is easier said than done
@@ashuranero5721 The police will not come at them. The bullies already doing that and where is the police? You never get bullied dont you? There is no reason for a bullying. They do it because they can do it. Getting back at them is better than putting .45 in your mouth. The police don't care. If they truly care, the bullies would not be doing all the thing they are doing instead, they graduate and become ISD superintendant. Please, dont get bullied and stay silent, gather friend and get back at those bullies. I'm not telling people to kill their bullies. Just punch back if they punch you.
I understand that things might have changed since then. I was just sharing my experience. Let your anger guide you towards them bully and not towards yourself. Do not kill yourselves over this. like I said, they bleed and feel pain just as much as you.
Once a bully always a bully .... he freaking laughed when we was called out !!!! Some people don’t change !
Some do, but most don’t. I think it is part of the person’s personality.
@@jimziemer474 we’ll bother ... his personality hasn’t change at all ! Hope u r safe n healthy .
I'm so glad you came forward and confronted him. I didn't like he had an smile on his face. When you first said you put your head in toilet. Made me so mad. I will be praying for you I understand what it does to your mind and thoughts. Stay strong. There are a lot of people behind you.❤❤🙏🙏❤
Lance at his meeting with Gay be like: “How many times do I gotta teach you this lesson Gay?!”
Who is laughing now Mr. Superintendent no more?
keops1977 Unfortunately, Bully Hindt left with almost 3/4 of a million dollars courtesy of the taxpayers. He's laughing all the way to the bank. One can only hope that one of his multiple victims has a "face to face encounter" with Loser Lance & shows him the error of his ways ...
keops1977 I’m laughing 😂
This man touchesmy heart. Such alegend and so brave to do what he did.
Thank you for stand up for this !!!
Can I say well done you, I was bullied every day of my school life and like you nothing was done,I couldn’t even go to my parents because they would have gave me another belting for not standing up for myself.nobody who hasn’t been bullied can not understand how much it affects you even into your adulthood
Typical bully. Once someone stands up to them they run
What an opportunity for the education department to send out a clear message that bullying will/should never be tolerated no matter the timeline.
Proud of this man going up there and speaking on the board
And the bully grew up to be in a position of authority and still, he hasn't learned his lessons in life - just laughing as his victim explains how traumatic the whole thing was for him.
He wanted to intimidate him to change his story.
Yes thank you for speaking out. We can't accept any sort of bullying anywhere..period.
He laughed because he relived the moment of how hilarious he thought it was when it happened. That was his subconscious honest exspression
"Allegations." Yeah, the guy's still a bully. I had one for years I refer to as "Bob." As the years have gone by I've had more and more adult's approach me to tell me they were victims as well. Damage far and wide.
Don't you dare meet this bully one on one. Mr Greg Gay. You confronted him in the public arena. Stay safe. Don't trust him.
You are a joke
Reminds me of an Indian story. You know a snake bites because it bit you... years later you meet the snake again and it says, please pet me, I won't bite you, I promise. You pick it up, pet it and it once again bites you. The snake says..what did you expect, I'm a snake, it's what I do.
You never forget the name of your bully. But the bully always forgets it’s victims.
being severally bullied through school and early work life (by grown men, i was 15)
It does stay with you for life. Iam 31yrs old and still to this day watch my back and feel like each new person i encounter will eventually attack me in some sort of way. for this reason i have lots of trouble with interpersonal relationships - even my ex gf told me "you think everyone is out to attack you, NO ONE is attacking you"
I wonder how this human nature of bullying was dealt with through out our History? imagine the horrors people injured through human history due to bullying, its clearly a human instinct/trait.
People say, "Get over it." "Kids will be kids." No, our childhood experiences good and bad help to lay the foundation for our interactions and how we handle situations in our adulthood. But for this douche to laugh at Gay means that he fully remembers what he did to him. He hasn't forgotten just as Gay hasn't forgotten.
