Bully Police USA Co-Director,
Kevin Epling, Speaks Out
"The school
ground bully has been around for too long. His entire success at
bullying is predicated upon arrogant disregard to simple decency, and a
willingness to brutalize an innocent victim simply because the bully is
bigger and stronger and others are afraid to intervene. It is insidious
and calls for society and government to intervene decisively. This
(Arizona State) bullying bill is a start. As you deliberate this
bill, please reflect on the fact that Government's primary purpose for
existence is for the protection of its innocent citizens.
...Then remember your bully as a child."
