@Gojira When your bully is 6' 4" and your 5' 7" you think you can kick their ass, please... (oh yeah lets not forget these cowards do run in packs also).
@Gojira Would you be able to have the nerve if every girl you liked because you thought they were decent stood next to a bully and smirked at you? How does a guy move on with life when he can't find a woman who isn't tuned on by guys being unnecessary pricks with zero regard to the fact of they being the drivers of everything going downhill?
its also not like they forced him out over something beyond his control. all he had to do was have some humility and be a bigger man and say "i regret that i did that to you im sorry the person i was then is no the person i am now" something really simple. but the fact he just laughed at the dood made him look like the biggest tool. and the saddest thing theres people like this running alot of things everywhere. where they just dont have everyones best interest in mind
Taylor High School (especially back then) had extremely wealthy families. I went to the same Jr high and high school and these guys, although I'm 10 years younger. The student parking lot had wayyyyyy nicer cars than the teacher parking lot.
@anidiotmakesthingsthings were different back then; many parents thought that you had to deal with bullying by yourself, in order to "toughen up". Maybe he didn't have anyone he felt he could confide in?
Ken R Fox nah, nervous laughter I'd day. Or I'd hope...maybe cynical laughter that he realized amusedly that his past had caught up with him unexpectedly
I was bullied in High School. About five years ago, the school bully who bullied me, approached me at the Mall and asked if I remembered him. I was with my kids and didn't want to start a scene, and told him I did recognize him, and didn't want anything from him. He then stuck out his hand and said, well, lets let bygones be bygones and forget the whole thing. I was shocked, he was still trying to deny his part and was pushing the responsibility on me. I told him, again, I want nothing from him and to get away from me or I was going to call Mall Security. The SOB had the nerve to try and hand me his business card (insurance agent) before he left. Well, last year, the son-of-a-bitch was turned in by his oldest Son for child molesting, among other charges . He got 25 years in prison. I sent a long letter to the Son, we've had some interesting chats since.
That was a nice thing that you did for his son. Abusers are often very good at hiding abuse and my portray themselves as great people to those around them. When their victims step forward others will often express disbelief. Even if there is no ill-intent this can make a victim feel isolated. Having someone to confirm that 'Yes, this person was abusive. I saw it too.' would be awfullly vindicating.
MY daughter was bullied. In 6th grade. I noticed her losing weight, lots of weight, she was more quiet, she seemed unmotivated, and cried out of nowhere. She finally opened up and cried our loud. Went to the school. Went to the kids parents houses to resolve it. 4 months later, she came home crying, it wasn't stopping. I called my landlord, broke my lease, and moved 23 miles away to a better school system. Best thing i ever did for her.
You are the best ever for real!! I will do this for my kids if I ever need to and I’m so happy that you saved your kids and were mature enough to understand the severity if the situation!! Some kids don’t get that second chance and can lose their life from such a horrible situation with horrible kids!! Love 💕!!
Nancy, you did amazing! Reading this made me emotional. I love my mother, but she didn't/couln't help me. Bullying destroyed a big part of my life that I will never get back. I was bullied at 11 and it lasted a couple of years. I'm now 27 and still suffer from what happened back then. I'm so glad to hear that you did the right thing, so your daughter doesn't have to go through this. I wish you both the best. ♥️🙏
It's horrible that victims of abuse have to flee from the perpetrators in our society. And at their own cost. Bullies should be consequently punished just as if they had attacked someone else. But attacking the bullying victim somehow doesn't count.
I was bullied for many years when I was a teenager. That was almost 20 years ago and I'm still fighting feelings of inferiority and depression. Bullying is no joke, it can scar you for life and many people never heal from it.
So true. I am 40 now and still have flashbacks from stuff that happened to me when I was 13/14 yrs old. Just keeps replaying like a bad movie. Yet I can’t remember what I wore to work a week ago.
Many don't even survive the bullying in the first place. Bullying is one of the top three reasons for kids and teens to kill themselves worldwide. So you're still here, still kicking, still going on with your life - I feel like you're on the right way. Most people bitten by a dog will fear dogs forever and society accepts that. It's only when humam predators hurt others that society thinks that the ones harmed need 'to talk about and get over it'. You keep going man, keep healing, keep living a good life and enjoy the lil nice things.
Doesn't get more real than that. Funny thing is that we all remember the names perfectly even after years, hell, if I see Wilson and Daniel again someday doesn't matter how long it has been by then but I'll still make sure to call them a little b, see if they're still feeling all big by then.
“Dr” Hindt laughed at this gentleman when he confronted him in the original video. Then resigns after realizing how quickly it went viral. The bully isn’t going to bullying.
The bully Larry Hindt received a severance package totalling $955,795.72 which was afforded due to the State reducing the Katy school district’s funding by $513,754.56. He bullied and terrorised people which was even witnessed by Circuit Judge David Carpenter but the bully Larry Hindt still received a nearly 1 million USD payout at the expense of school children he would have been bullying and traumatising 30 years ago. This is why we have bullies. Not only are bullies able to operate with impunity and not be held accountable, but they are given a small fortune once their bullying has been exposed to the financial detriment of school students.
Kevin Xu just to play devil's advocate, maybe he laughed due to nervousness or guilt. People react differently to different situation. Regardless it was fucked up what he did, but like Greg says he doesnt necessarily have to lose his job, because he knows what bullies act like.
I was bullied in middle school. I was smaller, younger, and had become somewhat of an introvert while my parents were going through a divorce. I flunked 8th grade on purpose after I realized that those bullies would be heading off to high school and I would be rid of them. It worked like a charm. I have a summer birthday, so I had always been the youngest person in my class. The next year, I was suddenly the oldest. I was bigger than most, and I became popular over night. It was a great move. After that, I never let someone else be bullied in my presence. I got into several fights later on because I could not stand to see anyone get bullied. I didn't always win, but when a bully knows he is going to have to fight you, whether he wins or loses, he will think twice about it. They only like to bully when there are no strings attached. A physical altercation is often times that VERY LAST thing a bully is ready for. They are just as willing to avoid it as the kid they are picking on, and they are bluffing.
Thank you for defending others. I am sorry you had to endure that as a child. I am afraid to put my 2 year old child in school as I don't want him to be bullied for one reason or another. He has been diagnosed with autism and I don't want him to be bullied just because of who he is. Thank you again.
I share your fears for my own 5 year old son. When he does get picked on, my advice is going to be for him to cut loose and make the bully pay. I will not depend on any over-paid school teacher to settle the score, and I will not apologize for teaching my child to respond to aggression with more aggression. These anti-bullying campaigns are nothing but bumper sticker slogans, and we still see stories and videos of kids bullying each other everyday. If chivalry was not so loathed by modern society, perhaps more bullies would be kept in check. In 2018, the idea of the strong defending the weak, or men defending women.... it's frowned upon, and even made to look offensive.
The worst part is when the bullying comes from people with status or popularity from within the school. It’s amazing how well a kid can hide being a total psychopath from all the adults just to absolutely abuse students who can’t get anyone around them to believe it’s going on.
I was bullied for so many years. Abused, picked on, laughed at, had my stuff stolen, and attempted suicide many times because of the trauma I went through. I relate to him so much and this guy is my actual hero.
Hindt resigned! Thankfully. The Katy ISD school board had been made aware of Hindt's assault charge on a man that he was involved with in a road rage incident, yet chose to ignore the warning signs and approved his hiring anyway. A number of witnesses came forward to confirm what went on when he was a football player in high school and confirmed the bullying incidents in junior high.
Nothing stops the community from reminding this guy how much of a scumbag he is and not giving their business to him. Only way to stop him is to hit him where it hurts and it's his reputation.
@@ericwoods6928 No. Nowadays only bad guys win. See around everywhere. Only demonic and bad people end up winning in every sphere of life. Most of the good guys are losers, too honest to win. This is what our society has turned into.
He won't be able to take all that money with him when he dies and goes into the afterlife. Unless he truly repents, he will more likely spend eternity being gang raped by demons in hell. I guarantee that he won't be smiling then.
I am 48, I still know all the names of the bullies from my high school. Difference is I joined the Army, they have a shock now when I am in my home town. Some of them have never left, or travelled. I have no feelings towards them for what they done to me. I didn't do well at school but now am studying for my degree in engineering.
When I was in middle school, I was bullied a lot. I remember one time I came home and was so aggravated and frustrated with my situation, I tried to suffocate myself using a coke bottle. I never lost consciousness and eventually I gave up on it. Needless to say as an adult I have no sympathy towards those who harass other human beings.
The problem is that sometimes teachers and school officials are also bullies. Teaching other bullies that their behavior is ok. First hand experience here. I don't think Lance ever learned from his mistakes and may very well still be that kind of person. He should not be allowed to show kids that it's ok to be a bully. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I got bullied by 2 gym teachers in Jr. High. They got me alone in the locker room and knocked me around. Careful not to leave any marks. I ditched gym for two years after that. My father said I must have done something wrong. Never forgave any of them, including my father. Now I'm an old man, retired Army, earned. 2nd Degree in TKD and a Master in Kung Fu. I hate bullies with a passion. I have confronted a few over the years I have seen trying to bully others. Not one chose to fight someone thatt was not afraid if them
@@henrycharles4353 But there is something inherent about the school system that lends itself to bullying. I think that many teachers, coaches and principals are bullies themselves...hence, the hesitancy in confronting and stopping this. Bullying has gone on for decades and it appears to be getting worse - if there was ZERO tolerance, it would end.
I disagree. He is a bully. And a violent one. He doesn't know how the victim feels. He probably still takes pleasure of hurting people. I don't think he would care about solving the bullying problem. His laugh shows denial and how he doesn't care about his own action, and he never feels sorry about bullying. Bullies don't remember what they have done, because they never care about how the bullied feel.
@@FutureSight666 - Malignant narcissists don't. They are incapable of empathy in any way, shape or form UNLESS it "saves" their reputation. They will ALWAYS be abusers of family members, spouses, friends, anyone they meet, in one way or another. So many survivors of dealing with individuals with this trait will tell you exactly the same thing - if they can get away from them - some don't make it. Law enforcement will also tell you the animal abusers / killers abuse and / or kill humans also.
@@lisarice4402 i hate defending people i dont know but after 30 years from being a high school bully people can change. i dont want to hear anymore of your peoples dumb bullshit
@@FutureSight666 - if you are a malignant narcissist, yes there are issues with that. Personal experience from domestic violence tells you right away who to be around, and who to get as far away from as you can. Hopefully, you are not one of those.

Lisa Rice how the fuck am i a narcissist? is that your favorite word to use lately? an what are you talking about i have never been a bully in my life. i made friends with pretty much everyone i came in contact with
SeekerofTruth29 feel your pain. I’m 26 years old ,I still remember getting harassed and being insulted thru 1 grade all the way to 8 grade I have a speech impediment so it was hard to Pronounce center words.
SeekerofTruth29 even tho that was past. I still hold grudges even tho the bullies who use to pick on me their life turn worst. While I have two kids and wife still can’t shake out of my life when ever I heard a story someone got bully or use to happen to them
@@arb6732 Yeah same here. I have a family now as well,but still think from time to time how those bullies treated me. It was one of the reasons I droppex out in grade 9,and struggled with self esteem and substance abuse in my 20s. I sometimes wish that karma pays them back in full. I leave it all to God.
I understand too.I remember the horrible 8th grade year I had due to 1 bully in particular.I'm 61 now,and if I could hire Tony Soprano to take him out I would.BTW the teachers and the principal didn't do dogshit about this thug.NOTHING!!!
My grand-daughter had a bullying problem with some "RICH KIDS" she reported it to the school principal, nothing happened. She had the opportunity to video these 2 kids destroying her lockers and putting some mean stuff in there. If she hadn't had that video, the school wouldn't do anything. She said she was going to the police, the school board and the newspapers if the school didn't take action. The girls were suspended for 3 days, their parents went ballistic! She stood up to them all and I as a grandparent didn't know anything about it. She never told me, she was scared it would upset me too much. I was proud of her for standing up for herself, but mostly showing other kids that action can be taken against these bullies.
Greg says that because Hindt was a bully he would be the best candidate for solving the problem. But if after all those years Hindt still finds his actions funny, then I doubt he can do nothing but perpetuate that behavior.
The corrupt board is wasting taxpayer's money on suing the guy that was bullied! And paid the bully like a CEO's golden parachute when he left too??? This board needs to go! Appalling
If anything, a victim should be in charge. A victim not only knows how to spot bullying, but they know what it feels like. They understand the seriousness of it. A "former" bully doesn't know what it feels like. They just know the feeling of ecstasy they received from making someone's life horrible.
Unfortunately life isn’t always fair. Some of us have to take things one day at a time, which is why we should pressure the people in charge for as much reform as possible. It’s all mostly all we can do
@@lakshen47 Which do you think would be the more beneficial? Coddling victims without actually doing anything, or rectifying bully behavior and training them out of it?
The superintendent man is totally a lier. After 35 years, he still doesn't apologize about what he did to his classmate who was brutally bullied. Lying is his first reaction, and he should be shamed.
I confronted an old bully from when I was a kid back in the 80's. He apologized to me and told me about how messed up his family was. It was pretty amazingl to get closure on that. Some of that stuff is as fresh in my memory as it was 30 years ago.
I can feel the hurt this man felt, you can tell he is a compassionate person. Someone who has gone through that pain never wants anyone else to feel it again.
He didn't get fired/resigned because he bullied in the past.... it was his response and failure to accept responsibility or show any amount of compassion is what got him the boot. I don't think he could have fixed anything.
I was also a victim of bullying, my older brother and I were left by our mother when we were 1 and 2 years old, she was an alcoholic we were told. Our father had total custody of us and we grew up in our grandfathers house. We did not have much but we had all we needed, a large garden which we helped our grandfather take care of and a coal furnace that would have us opening windows in February. We never had a real bathroom just a toilet in the back corner of my grandfathers room, we washed up in the kitchen sink for baths. Not a Disney childhood but we were happy for what we had. Kids can be very cruel sometimes and would harass me over my clothes, the house I lived in, basically being poor. That was over 45 years ago, some of the kids that made fun are now adults that still live in my area, we do not speak ever, it is too late for that now. I understand the feelings of this man even at the age he is now, forgiveness is nearly impossible at times and you still carry the resentment forever sometimes.
You had the love and support of your grandfather ...I never knew my grandfather . I heard from my father and uncles ,he was a saint ......Don't worry about the bullies . They will never understand ....Somehow they missed ,that you are an overcomer . The kind that we call heros in the movies .......God Bless
I am an introvert child and bullying experience made me afraid and inferior all my life. I'm still trying to move forward but the scar is still there. It's hard.
Same bro I actually got bullied at work and it fucked me up. But this I can tell you. You will overcome it and youll look back and realize how much stronger it made you. Bullying continues after school so prepare yourself for that. Learn to love yourself and work hard in life all that shit accumulates and there comes a point in your life where you realize you matter. Listen to David Goggins and I Suggest looking up 75 hard challenge
Greg your life means so much to so many! ❤ Your couragouesness is inspiring to me, I'm sure others can take your bravery and fuel it for themselves to speak up when abused or bullied. To not feel intimidated by the bully and to keep speaking up when you know things are wrong! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You looked your coward bully in the eye and you set him straight! Im so proud of you. You are a gleam of prosperity and courage. I'm so glad you choose not to take your life that day! Your life has so much meaning. Im praying for your healing and happiness. God bless you Greg! ❤
I was bullied once upon a time ago. Until I realized “well I’m already receiving pain, mind as well try to give some back at the same time”. Always stand up for yourself and others.
@@JLviper easier said than done. Not always possible. Some get bullied worse than you and the threat of doing that might be way more severe. It's the school's fault for not providing him the help he needed. We don't know what his parents did so we better not judge. As a parent this is also a very difficult situation
I got bullied in elementary school until I decided to stand up for myself and fight. Bullying happens. It's what kids do. Teach your kids to stand up to it rather than being weak about it.
His laughter when he was confronted was so uncalled for and tells me that he really is a bully and now a liar because he denies it ever happened. I doubt he has ever taken responsibility or apologized for anything in his life.
Wow. I know what it's like to be in this man's shoes. I was also bullied harshly and mercilessly. From Kindergarten through 3rd grade, I attended a French-American Private school in Dallas. I can't tell you how much bullying and cruel mistreatment I endured. Mainly because of my struggles with a serious learning disability. It was around first grade that I began displaying symptoms of ADHD. Teachers just took advantage of it. Bashing me, mistreating me, you name it. Second grade was the worse of all because BOTH my teachers inflicted extreme cruel mistreatment on me. One of them even made fun of me every day knowing I couldn't defend myself. And as God as my witness, she even encouraged the kids to bully me. Taking advantage of the fact that I couldn't defend myself because of my disability. One time I got pushed down the stairs in front of the teacher and all she did was grab me by the shirt and say, "Stop your crying you baby." To this day, they've yet to apologize. They never will. They'll just deny everything. The kids all apologized and I forgave them. But those two teachers from Second Grade? Never showed remorse for their actions. They're just like this man, Hindt. Dishonest cowards. I would love to meet the man who suffered and tell him my story. We're both strong guys who went through a lot. I am about to be 27. And I am waiting for the moment to confront those two teachers. When I do, I'll show them that their sins hurt me and put me down, but I got back up. With God's love and his blessing to me of strength.
I got bullied in eighth grade. I hated my life, I didn’t know i was bullied until about a year later. The girls and boys who bullied me were ‘cool’ and stuff. I hated them, still do. I have a lots of great friends now, and i’m not getting bullied anymore, i was shy at first (in high school) but now not so much, still a little shy but teachers like me and i have great and supporting friends. I got accepted into a great school and in a year i will be studying how to become a movie director, and hopefully i can say later on, that those bullied were nothing. That i, a hopefully kind person, came far in life, be good and successful and have an amazing family. And those bullies will be sorry for that they bullied me, because i’m sure they won’t be as good. They were bad at school then (now) never listened, never made homework, didnt respect teachers and other students. They will become terrible adults. So yeah it may be mean, but i know i won’t and don’t feel sorry for them:)
There was a kid in my high school that got bullied, the people that picked on him called him dirty. He got called out of a fight by a popular kid, that kid rolled 30 deep to the bullying alley, all the kids came in their nice cars. Dirty rode up alone, on his bicycle, got off and ghosted his bike and as it was still rolling to the snow bank he blasted his bully in the nose. He was still called dirty after that day, but people but respect on that name from that day forward. The bully doesn’t always get his, but when he does…
I remember my dad told me, he was recognized by his school bully when they were at a night club. Apparently the guy tried to shake my dads hand, as if they were old friends, and my dad just swung on the dude and a brawl broke out lol I’ve never really been bullied, but I can imagine that bitter sweet feeling of running into your bully as an adult.
@@Herperof1000derps Nah, depends on how it turned out. If it backfired on his father, then yah that was stupid. If his father won the fighht and got away without consequence. That's a win as far as I'm concerned. Bullies don't get to call others petty.
Exactly...if you're wrongly accused... you'd have your mouth open and your hands up...with a serious face of shock trying to understand.....his laughing meant he understood the accusation and was taking delight in how he (his abuse) affected him all these years.
just imagine going to school and no one is bullying you... you are just there to study and enjoy time with your friends. life would be more beautiful and fun
There was 2 girls in my former highschool who were literally bullying and assaulting a kid with autism and took staff faculty approximately 6 minutes to stop this encounter there is a problem in our schools and its the staff and leadership that needs to step up and do more
I was bullied a lot. Two of the kids that bullied me ended up in prison for murder. Bullying needs to be addressed by police officers at every school. From the bullying I was a reckless teen. It was like being in prison everyday not school.
If they (the bullies) don't get their karmic justice in this lifetime (which is far better)...they'll get in in their next life (worse). Many times bullies meet their match later down the road and end up dead...but your bullies graduated to murder and are in prison.
Sorry you went through that. One of my bullies was with 3 other guys on a Friday Night/Saturday morning in an area where there's lots of drinking. Him and his cronies started with someone who was trained in martial arts. The guy they messed with pulled out a knife stabbing him and his 3 friends. One of them died, another is permanently blind while him and another friend weren't seriously hurt but still needed to be treated. The guy who did the stabbing got off on self defense, even though from what others have said, it was just a case of them picking on the wrong person and the guy retaliated. You live by the sword you die by the sword. Karma will get you either way. I encourage others to take drastic measures to protect themselves at all costs (getting suspended even) because nothing is more important than your life and safety.
I agree with you, Lance Hindt is a bully and a criminal and should have been dealt with a long time ago. A bully of this caliber should have never been allowed to work at a school system or hold a position that has kids involved, since he never grew up himself. As they say, once a prick always a prick.
When he got to the part of his speech about putting the gun to his head, I became so emotional. Brave to confront his bully after all this time and get some closure.
I always wanted to find the guy who bullied me and beat his ass, but then I found out his brother who also bullied me committed suicide. At first I was happy, not gonna lie, but then after a day or so I reflected on what kind of childhood he must have had. I hope he's resting in peace from his torment and I hope his brother is a good Family man with well adjusted kids.
@DEATHKLAAT You've never truly read the Bible and have a lack of understanding. Furthermore the Bible always says "fear not" or "don't be afraid". Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
@@Herperof1000derps Kidnap was punishable by stoning to death, biblical slavery was a voluntary way to repay a debt and is absolutely nothing like the form of slavery people of today try to equate it to. Scripture teaches that all men are created equal, this includes free or bound, and scripture also teaches us to serve others before ourselves, Jesus Himself was a servant. Servants of others are actually highly regarded by God and will receive reward in heaven.
I’m not a huge fan of social media, but I love the fact that it is bringing people to a level of accountability that is absolutely unprecedented. Hearing about this story made my day!
I called out a bully highschool coach who actually punched me and was not charged or arrested. He was fired but Ifound out where he worked after 10 years of searching and confronted him. He denied, lied and even cried. He got his ass kicked, I paid heavily for it because I did same thing to a bully with a baseball bat as a freshman in highschool. Both incidents were worth the incarceration. Two lessons learned: 1. Be careful who you bully, they may come back not to haunt you, they may come back willing to kill you. 2. Dont walk into a classroom/buisness and beat someone into a potato with a room full of witnesses.
Edyson Maldonado ....I feel great. Got what he deserved as did I and it was worth it. If the justice system hadn't failed a minor and let off an adult scott free, we would not be talking here. Though I made a personal choice and paid dearly...it was worth it.
I was a bullied in middle school by a girl much bigger than me. In band class, in front of the other students, she would take my arms and put them behind my back and press her knee into my back until I yelled. This happened several times, one of which the band teacher just sat there and watched. It was then that I realized that even if someone saw, no one was going to help me here. I went home and told my mother, and they began the process of house shopping, and we moved to a different town that summer. Luckily I was able to get away from that terrible school, other kids are not as lucky.
He can deny all he wants but when this brave man confronted him 40 years later, and opened his heart and showed his vulnerability, the bully superintendent laughed and showed that he was still the bully he was as a teenager.
Most bullies don't know how to fight and that's why they bully somebody who appears to be less than them because it makes them feel bigger. Teach your children how to punch somebody in the face really hard and that should end the bullying just like it did when I was a kid.
I wish they would stop calling it bullying and call it what it is harassment, abuse, assault, physical assault, discrimination and torture. F all the Lances of this world.
Hindt resigned with a 700k payday. Instead of coming clean, apologizing and seeking forgiveness; the bully laughed at the victim and called him a liar. Good riddance to a bully. Letting him lead was like letting a serial killer lead the rehabilitation efforts for other serial killers.
@@wayne8498 I agree, but physically assaulting someone is very different then some kid getting called a *Fag*. Kids need to learn how to stand up for them selves
"He was a bully, he's going to know where the weaknesses are. He can fix this" Awesome how he can put his personal grievances aside after calling him out and having a pragmatic approach to the problem, looking at the bigger picture
If he is laughing as an adult at this, then the guy was OBVIOUSLY the bully. I would hazard to say that most school shootings were brought into existence by unchecked bullies.
I respectfully disagree with this man who was bullied. Let the bullied fix the problem instead of the bully. The former knows how to fix it better than the latter.
20+ years in the Air Force, and an additional 15 years as a manager/director in private business. From 1977 or so, when I first became a supervisor, all the way to retirement in 2018, I looked for bullies. I made it my mission to smash bullies. I have had bullies crying, in front of my desk...right before I fired them. NOTHING made me happier than to fix a problem.
“Report bullying” I did and where was my help that I needed? Did the school resolve it? No. Did they get suspended? No. Did anyone help? No. Did I reach out and asked for help? Yes. Did everyone else try to reach out? Yes. But not ONE of the teachers, principles or counselors did anything to stop them. NOT ONE! And yet i’m still here, a guy who went to the hospital because he said he wanted to kill him self, a big teddy bear, a lover instead of a fighter, and heart of gold. 3 years ago that Lance person resigned, but his actions remind me of those terrible years of high school
I was bullied from 2nd to 12th grade by the same girl and her group of friends. In 7th grade I tired to get help from a techer and told them what happened before school started. Later that day I was sitting by myself at lunch and I dropped some food on the floor. I didn't pick it up as I took my tray to the trash and THE SAME TEACHER I went to get help from gave me Lunch Detention cleaning the floors around this girl and her friend's. I heard them laughing as I walked by and turned around to see them dumping their trays on the floor for me to clean up. I got suspended the next day for writing a threat letter another classmate saw me writing after lunch. Nothing ever happened to the bully or her friend's and they continued to torment me until graduation. I'm still bitter and messed up from years of abuse. I've been on medications and I see a therapist. But if I ever saw her? I would go to jail for assault. I would not have the strength this man did to talk to his bully. I would knock her gd teeth down her throat.
After being bullied I started my lifelong study of the martial arts. Years later my former bully walked onto the dojo where I taught to pick up his girlfriend's son. When I saw him walk in I asked him if he'd like to 'spar'. He declined my offer so I said, "I see you are still a coward" Years have gone by and I realize he made the right decision. I may have gone to jail for what I could've done to him. However, if you are not a martial arts instructor etc, you may not get in as much trouble for beating the snot out of a former bully. (Most martial arts schools advocate for nonviolence. We didn't encourage violence however we were militaristic in much of our training. There are only a few of us left. Our style is dying out.)
Mr. Barrett did right confronting his bully. Lindt needed to lose his position & is as arrogant as ever! He didn't apologize, thinks he done nothing wrong, frauded his dissertation & cost his district more than he gave.
Glad this man exposed his evil bullying. Disgusting superintendent. Surprised the superintendent hasn't offed himself for all the evil things he has done to other people like Mr. Gray
What is interesting is he just called out lance for bullying him, but didnt really say anything about how hindt did his job. He didnt even ask for him to resign because of what lance did. But it really shows that lance was more than just a bully, he was a coward for resigning. Lance is probably getting a little bullied for the first time and he resigns.
I was confronted a few years back by a classmate at a class reunion for bullying him. Apparently I didn’t acknowledge him at lunch in high school one time (we grew up together on the same baseball team but I never was that close to him outside of that). Even though it wasn’t true bullying in my eyes, it clearly affected him. I bought him a beer and sat down and apologized regardless. Moral is, you never know how your actions or words might affect someone so deeply. Own it.
Definition of a bully: Afraid of the stronger, hence relieves his frustration on the weak and vulnerable only. A truly courageous person will never bully the weak as a gesture of class and self respect, which the bully has none.
This is great man.. After what he suffered and the sociopathic like statement from Hindt . He still doesn't want him to lose his job says everything. 1st watching the original video I thought "Kids can be so cruel but good on you for confronting him". But hearing Hindt not even own up to it really shows the type of man that he his.
I was bullied relentlessly from the first grade until I graduated from high school. There was no one there to help me thirty something years ago. It altered me and my life and not for the good. I know what it is like to rather die than go face another day of torture and torment. We have to make these people stop bullying kids. The words that bullys use make kids feel less than human and not worthy of life. That is so painfully wrong to do to another human being!!!
He was right about Lance being able to fix the bullying. What better person to address bullies than a guy who was a bully in school. Usually bullies seem to have their own issues with a lot of them stemming from issues at home and they feel helpless so they lash out at those they deem as weaker at school to feel like they have some control in their lives.
Hindt is lying. He should show some balls and admit his guilt and he should apologise. But that's the problem with bullies. They are cowards.
Mike Voie hittitties was a big superpussy
@Gojira Easier said than done. You can't fight with 7-8 people when you're in junior high. And since they're cowards they always run in packs.
@Gojira When your bully is 6' 4" and your 5' 7" you think you can kick their ass, please... (oh yeah lets not forget these cowards do run in packs also).
Gojira how the fûck will u know if someone bully u, u fûcking idiots
@Gojira Would you be able to have the nerve if every girl you liked because you thought they were decent stood next to a bully and smirked at you? How does a guy move on with life when he can't find a woman who isn't tuned on by guys being unnecessary pricks with zero regard to the fact of they being the drivers of everything going downhill?
Hindt was a coward and resigned. The applause he received when he announced his resignation says how bad he was at his job.
Heru- deshet he wasn’t bad at his job that’s not even why they clapped
itsDefinitelyd0pey he was good at his job they clapped because he deserved to be fired not because he was bad at the job
its also not like they forced him out over something beyond his control.
all he had to do was have some humility and be a bigger man and say "i regret that i did that to you im sorry the person i was then is no the person i am now"
something really simple. but the fact he just laughed at the dood made him look like the biggest tool. and the saddest thing theres people like this running alot of things everywhere. where they just dont have everyones best interest in mind
Heru- deshet boutta leak his address
TVindustries5000 He also put another man in a Coma.
He's still a bully. His denial gives him a sense of control over you.

This shows how far bullying goes. If I were the superintendent’s son, I’d disown him.
Just look at his face 0:13
Typical face of a psychopath politician.
It's pretty shocking how much older the victim looks than the bully, even though they are the same age. Lance had a priviledged life, and it shows.
I hope it's just genetics :(
Because the bully has no remorse, guilt or empathy. He had a life full of fun and no sadness.
Because the bully is wearing a hair piece
@@TonyCrispruby majority of women ARE privileged..... Its a women's world
Taylor High School (especially back then) had extremely wealthy families. I went to the same Jr high and high school and these guys, although I'm 10 years younger. The student parking lot had wayyyyyy nicer cars than the teacher parking lot.
I'm so glad that Mr. Barrett did not take his own life, and that he was able to tell his story years after. Mad respect from Canada.
❤️🌹
@anidiotmakesthingsthings were different back then; many parents thought that you had to deal with bullying by yourself, in order to "toughen up". Maybe he didn't have anyone he felt he could confide in?
He was laughing after hearing the story again about what he'd done. That was proud laughter. Pathetic

Ken R Fox nah, nervous laughter I'd day. Or I'd hope...maybe cynical laughter that he realized amusedly that his past had caught up with him unexpectedly
He probably had forgotten about that treasured memory and was thinking yeah and you never complained like these little bitches do
I was bullied in High School. About five years ago, the school bully who bullied me, approached me at the Mall and asked if I remembered him. I was with my kids and didn't want to start a scene, and told him I did recognize him, and didn't want anything from him. He then stuck out his hand and said, well, lets let bygones be bygones and forget the whole thing. I was shocked, he was still trying to deny his part and was pushing the responsibility on me. I told him, again, I want nothing from him and to get away from me or I was going to call Mall Security. The SOB had the nerve to try and hand me his business card (insurance agent) before he left. Well, last year, the son-of-a-bitch was turned in by his oldest Son for child molesting, among other charges . He got 25 years in prison. I sent a long letter to the Son, we've had some interesting chats since.
Wow....gotta love karma
WOOOO
That was a nice thing that you did for his son. Abusers are often very good at hiding abuse and my portray themselves as great people to those around them. When their victims step forward others will often express disbelief. Even if there is no ill-intent this can make a victim feel isolated. Having someone to confirm that 'Yes, this person was abusive. I saw it too.' would be awfullly vindicating.
Makes you think, was he also abused and was this one of the reasons he was a bully. I hope his son is okay.
He tried to make amends. Nothing wrong with that
MY daughter was bullied. In 6th grade. I noticed her losing weight, lots of weight, she was more quiet, she seemed unmotivated, and cried out of nowhere. She finally opened up and cried our loud. Went to the school. Went to the kids parents houses to resolve it. 4 months later, she came home crying, it wasn't stopping. I called my landlord, broke my lease, and moved 23 miles away to a better school system. Best thing i ever did for her.

Good job momma!
You are the best ever for real!! I will do this for my kids if I ever need to and I’m so happy that you saved your kids and were mature enough to understand the severity if the situation!! Some kids don’t get that second chance and can lose their life from such a horrible situation with horrible kids!! Love 💕!!
Nancy, you did amazing! Reading this made me emotional. I love my mother, but she didn't/couln't help me. Bullying destroyed a big part of my life that I will never get back. I was bullied at 11 and it lasted a couple of years. I'm now 27 and still suffer from what happened back then. I'm so glad to hear that you did the right thing, so your daughter doesn't have to go through this. I wish you both the best. ♥️🙏
It's horrible that victims of abuse have to flee from the perpetrators in our society. And at their own cost.
Bullies should be consequently punished just as if they had attacked someone else. But attacking the bullying victim somehow doesn't count.
I was bullied for many years when I was a teenager. That was almost 20 years ago and I'm still fighting feelings of inferiority and depression. Bullying is no joke, it can scar you for life and many people never heal from it.
I agree, bullying in real life is no joke.
So true. I am 40 now and still have flashbacks from stuff that happened to me when I was 13/14 yrs old. Just keeps replaying like a bad movie. Yet I can’t remember what I wore to work a week ago.
Many don't even survive the bullying in the first place. Bullying is one of the top three reasons for kids and teens to kill themselves worldwide.
So you're still here, still kicking, still going on with your life - I feel like you're on the right way.
Most people bitten by a dog will fear dogs forever and society accepts that. It's only when humam predators hurt others that society thinks that the ones harmed need 'to talk about and get over it'.
You keep going man, keep healing, keep living a good life and enjoy the lil nice things.
Your comment needs to be in every bullying advertisement. So sorry. Hope you're doing ok.
Doesn't get more real than that. Funny thing is that we all remember the names perfectly even after years, hell, if I see Wilson and Daniel again someday doesn't matter how long it has been by then but I'll still make sure to call them a little b, see if they're still feeling all big by then.
I was severely bullied at school. My solidarity and best wishes to victims of bullying everywhere.
Likewise Suhail Shafi. Don't give them the power. Happiness in life is your best revenge. Bullies are rarely happy.
“Dr” Hindt laughed at this gentleman when he confronted him in the original video. Then resigns after realizing how quickly it went viral. The bully isn’t going to bullying.
He was actually shunned out of office months later. Resignation was a term used to give him severance
@@MediocreTCG good
Yes .. saw it
The bully Larry Hindt received a severance package totalling $955,795.72 which was afforded due to the State reducing the Katy school district’s funding by $513,754.56. He bullied and terrorised people which was even witnessed by Circuit Judge David Carpenter but the bully Larry Hindt still received a nearly 1 million USD payout at the expense of school children he would have been bullying and traumatising 30 years ago. This is why we have bullies. Not only are bullies able to operate with impunity and not be held accountable, but they are given a small fortune once their bullying has been exposed to the financial detriment of school students.
@Fern Dogg89 and? what about his laughing about it?
But I think he should loss his job. Look at Lance’s reaction. That was disgusting.
Kevin Xu just to play devil's advocate, maybe he laughed due to nervousness or guilt. People react differently to different situation. Regardless it was fucked up what he did, but like Greg says he doesnt necessarily have to lose his job, because he knows what bullies act like.
The fact that Greg wanted him to keep his job and help the community speaks a lot to his character.
Luckily he did lose his job
Enrique----and you were NEVER bullied in school?
Enrique---the superintendent.....resigned......if he didn't do anything wrong....THEN WHY DID HE RESIGN???????
I was bullied in middle school. I was smaller, younger, and had become somewhat of an introvert while my parents were going through a divorce. I flunked 8th grade on purpose after I realized that those bullies would be heading off to high school and I would be rid of them. It worked like a charm. I have a summer birthday, so I had always been the youngest person in my class. The next year, I was suddenly the oldest. I was bigger than most, and I became popular over night. It was a great move.
After that, I never let someone else be bullied in my presence. I got into several fights later on because I could not stand to see anyone get bullied. I didn't always win, but when a bully knows he is going to have to fight you, whether he wins or loses, he will think twice about it. They only like to bully when there are no strings attached. A physical altercation is often times that VERY LAST thing a bully is ready for. They are just as willing to avoid it as the kid they are picking on, and they are bluffing.
Thank you for defending others. I am sorry you had to endure that as a child. I am afraid to put my 2 year old child in school as I don't want him to be bullied for one reason or another. He has been diagnosed with autism and I don't want him to be bullied just because of who he is. Thank you again.
pfcjking1, you are my new hero!
I share your fears for my own 5 year old son. When he does get picked on, my advice is going to be for him to cut loose and make the bully pay. I will not depend on any over-paid school teacher to settle the score, and I will not apologize for teaching my child to respond to aggression with more aggression. These anti-bullying campaigns are nothing but bumper sticker slogans, and we still see stories and videos of kids bullying each other everyday.
If chivalry was not so loathed by modern society, perhaps more bullies would be kept in check. In 2018, the idea of the strong defending the weak, or men defending women.... it's frowned upon, and even made to look offensive.
luisknuckles dont worry kids are angles till the they ry turned 5🙈🙈 let ur kids have fun with other kids
you should worry about high school
pfcjking1 change school as sompky as that send him to the gym at the age of 12 dont try to be his only friend coz its not gonna work!
The worst part is when the bullying comes from people with status or popularity from within the school. It’s amazing how well a kid can hide being a total psychopath from all the adults just to absolutely abuse students who can’t get anyone around them to believe it’s going on.
Mine was a football and baseball star
Me too, but mine was a football and basketball star.@@scienceducks
Exactly what happened to me. And the bullies got away with it.
I was bullied for so many years. Abused, picked on, laughed at, had my stuff stolen, and attempted suicide many times because of the trauma I went through. I relate to him so much and this guy is my actual hero.

Hindt resigned! Thankfully. The Katy ISD school board had been made aware of Hindt's assault charge on a man that he was involved with in a road rage incident, yet chose to ignore the warning signs and approved his hiring anyway. A number of witnesses came forward to confirm what went on when he was a football player in high school and confirmed the bullying incidents in junior high.
IslandGirl 9152 He retired, which means he'll be collecting a retirement check from the community for the rest of his life.

I am 48, I still know all the names of the bullies from my high school. Difference is I joined the Army, they have a shock now when I am in my home town. Some of them have never left, or travelled. I have no feelings towards them for what they done to me. I didn't do well at school but now am studying for my degree in engineering.
Well done, success is one of the best forms of revenge.
When I was in middle school, I was bullied a lot. I remember one time I came home and was so aggravated and frustrated with my situation, I tried to suffocate myself using a coke bottle. I never lost consciousness and eventually I gave up on it. Needless to say as an adult I have no sympathy towards those who harass other human beings.
The problem is that sometimes teachers and school officials are also bullies. Teaching other bullies that their behavior is ok. First hand experience here. I don't think Lance ever learned from his mistakes and may very well still be that kind of person. He should not be allowed to show kids that it's ok to be a bully. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I got bullied by 2 gym teachers in Jr. High. They got me alone in the locker room and knocked me around. Careful not to leave any marks. I ditched gym for two years after that. My father said I must have done something wrong. Never forgave any of them, including my father. Now I'm an old man, retired Army, earned. 2nd Degree in TKD and a Master in Kung Fu. I hate bullies with a passion. I have confronted a few over the years I have seen trying to bully others. Not one chose to fight someone thatt was not afraid if them
There are bullies in every walk of life.
@@jesspeters1213 this should be a stand-alone comment, not a comment to a comment
@@henrycharles4353 But there is something inherent about the school system that lends itself to bullying. I think that many teachers, coaches and principals are bullies themselves...hence, the hesitancy in confronting and stopping this. Bullying has gone on for decades and it appears to be getting worse - if there was ZERO tolerance, it would end.
Cops are amongst the biggest bullies of all ! .
I disagree. He is a bully. And a violent one. He doesn't know how the victim feels. He probably still takes pleasure of hurting people. I don't think he would care about solving the bullying problem. His laugh shows denial and how he doesn't care about his own action, and he never feels sorry about bullying. Bullies don't remember what they have done, because they never care about how the bullied feel.

I understand too.I remember the horrible 8th grade year I had due to 1 bully in particular.I'm 61 now,and if I could hire Tony Soprano to take him out I would.BTW the teachers and the principal didn't do dogshit about this thug.NOTHING!!!
My grand-daughter had a bullying problem with some "RICH KIDS" she reported it to the school principal, nothing happened. She had the opportunity to video these 2 kids destroying her lockers and putting some mean stuff in there. If she hadn't had that video, the school wouldn't do anything. She said she was going to the police, the school board and the newspapers if the school didn't take action. The girls were suspended for 3 days, their parents went ballistic! She stood up to them all and I as a grandparent didn't know anything about it. She never told me, she was scared it would upset me too much. I was proud of her for standing up for herself, but mostly showing other kids that action can be taken against these bullies.
I would have gone to the police and press anyway.
a lot of us were bullied in school, including me, i hope this dude gets everything going his way
Greg says that because Hindt was a bully he would be the best candidate for solving the problem. But if after all those years Hindt still finds his actions funny, then I doubt he can do nothing but perpetuate that behavior.
Yep. Greg is wrong, again.
I guess he didn’t get the “Hindt” that bullying is NOT OK!!!
Ha! Good one lol

The effects of bullying last forever. The sense of helplessness as a child creates similar feelings into adulthood.
The corrupt board is wasting taxpayer's money on suing the guy that was bullied! And paid the bully like a CEO's golden parachute when he left too??? This board needs to go! Appalling
Wait they sued the victim?!?! Why?!?!
This man is a hero. So glad he didn't kill himself.
If anything, a victim should be in charge. A victim not only knows how to spot bullying, but they know what it feels like. They understand the seriousness of it. A "former" bully doesn't know what it feels like. They just know the feeling of ecstasy they received from making someone's life horrible.
Unfortunately life isn’t always fair. Some of us have to take things one day at a time, which is why we should pressure the people in charge for as much reform as possible. It’s all mostly all we can do

The superintendent man is totally a lier. After 35 years, he still doesn't apologize about what he did to his classmate who was brutally bullied.
Lying is his first reaction, and he should be shamed.
I confronted an old bully from when I was a kid back in the 80's. He apologized to me and told me about how messed up his family was. It was pretty amazingl to get closure on that. Some of that stuff is as fresh in my memory as it was 30 years ago.

@@PS-wz9fc "playing Jesus" 😂😂😂 You're funny 😂😂
I'm so glad it worked out for you. Forgiveness is a powerful thing.
I can feel the hurt this man felt, you can tell he is a compassionate person. Someone who has gone through that pain never wants anyone else to feel it again.
He didn't get fired/resigned because he bullied in the past.... it was his response and failure to accept responsibility or show any amount of compassion is what got him the boot. I don't think he could have fixed anything.
I was also a victim of bullying, my older brother and I were left by our mother when we were 1 and 2 years old, she was an alcoholic we were told. Our father had total custody of us and we grew up in our grandfathers house. We did not have much but we had all we needed, a large garden which we helped our grandfather take care of and a coal furnace that would have us opening windows in February. We never had a real bathroom just a toilet in the back corner of my grandfathers room, we washed up in the kitchen sink for baths. Not a Disney childhood but we were happy for what we had. Kids can be very cruel sometimes and would harass me over my clothes, the house I lived in, basically being poor. That was over 45 years ago, some of the kids that made fun are now adults that still live in my area, we do not speak ever, it is too late for that now. I understand the feelings of this man even at the age he is now, forgiveness is nearly impossible at times and you still carry the resentment forever sometimes.
Resentment is like allowing someone that you don’t like to live in your head without paying any rent. I heard it off a rabbi video here on UA-cam.
Sorry for your horrible child hood"!!
You had the love and support of your grandfather ...I never knew my grandfather . I heard from my father and uncles ,he was a saint ......Don't worry about the bullies . They will never understand ....Somehow they missed ,that you are an overcomer . The kind that we call heros in the movies .......God Bless

Resentment is a choice. You can choose to forgive, you can choose to let go. It’s not that you can’t, you just don’t want to.
Nah that guy deserves to get fired. He just laughed at Greg.
He resigned, and got $750,000!
I am an introvert child and bullying experience made me afraid and inferior all my life. I'm still trying to move forward but the scar is still there. It's hard.

@@JLviper easier said than done. Not always possible. Some get bullied worse than you and the threat of doing that might be way more severe.

I got bullied in elementary school until I decided to stand up for myself and fight. Bullying happens. It's what kids do. Teach your kids to stand up to it rather than being weak about it.
His laughter when he was confronted was so uncalled for and tells me that he really is a bully and now a liar because he denies it ever happened. I doubt he has ever taken responsibility or apologized for anything in his life.
Wow. I know what it's like to be in this man's shoes. I was also bullied harshly and mercilessly. From Kindergarten through 3rd grade, I attended a French-American Private school in Dallas. I can't tell you how much bullying and cruel mistreatment I endured. Mainly because of my struggles with a serious learning disability. It was around first grade that I began displaying symptoms of ADHD. Teachers just took advantage of it. Bashing me, mistreating me, you name it. Second grade was the worse of all because BOTH my teachers inflicted extreme cruel mistreatment on me. One of them even made fun of me every day knowing I couldn't defend myself. And as God as my witness, she even encouraged the kids to bully me. Taking advantage of the fact that I couldn't defend myself because of my disability. One time I got pushed down the stairs in front of the teacher and all she did was grab me by the shirt and say, "Stop your crying you baby." To this day, they've yet to apologize. They never will. They'll just deny everything. The kids all apologized and I forgave them. But those two teachers from Second Grade? Never showed remorse for their actions. They're just like this man, Hindt. Dishonest cowards. I would love to meet the man who suffered and tell him my story. We're both strong guys who went through a lot. I am about to be 27. And I am waiting for the moment to confront those two teachers. When I do, I'll show them that their sins hurt me and put me down, but I got back up. With God's love and his blessing to me of strength.
My God that's awful! They were some sick individuals glad you are doing fine. Yes U are strong 💪. Keep it up!
@@AfricancoolChic Even today, the memories haunt me. The trauma still hurts. I fight it everyday.

I have a lots of great friends now, and i’m not getting bullied anymore, i was shy at first (in high school) but now not so much, still a little shy but teachers like me and i have great and supporting friends. I got accepted into a great school and in a year i will be studying how to become a movie director, and hopefully i can say later on, that those bullied were nothing. That i, a hopefully kind person, came far in life, be good and successful and have an amazing family. And those bullies will be sorry for that they bullied me, because i’m sure they won’t be as good. They were bad at school then (now) never listened, never made homework, didnt respect teachers and other students. They will become terrible adults. So yeah it may be mean, but i know i won’t and don’t feel sorry for them:)
There was a kid in my high school that got bullied, the people that picked on him called him dirty. He got called out of a fight by a popular kid, that kid rolled 30 deep to the bullying alley, all the kids came in their nice cars. Dirty rode up alone, on his bicycle, got off and ghosted his bike and as it was still rolling to the snow bank he blasted his bully in the nose. He was still called dirty after that day, but people but respect on that name from that day forward. The bully doesn’t always get his, but when he does…
You can tell this man is sincere, while Lance is a 100% politician that only cares about appearance and power
I remember my dad told me, he was recognized by his school bully when they were at a night club. Apparently the guy tried to shake my dads hand, as if they were old friends, and my dad just swung on the dude and a brawl broke out lol I’ve never really been bullied, but I can imagine that bitter sweet feeling of running into your bully as an adult.
Who won?
Should have swung on him when they were younger.
@@Herperof1000derps Nah, depends on how it turned out. If it backfired on his father, then yah that was stupid. If his father won the fighht and got away without consequence. That's a win as far as I'm concerned. Bullies don't get to call others petty.
As someone who got bullied hard and no teacher cares about me, I respect this man, thank you.
The way he was laughing at him when he told his story tells you everything ...someone wrongly accused of.soemthing like this wouldn't laugu
Exactly...if you're wrongly accused... you'd have your mouth open and your hands up...with a serious face of shock trying to understand.....his laughing meant he understood the accusation and was taking delight in how he (his abuse) affected him all these years.
just imagine going to school and no one is bullying you... you are just there to study and enjoy time with your friends. life would be more beautiful and fun
Seriously not having to live in that sense of dread/fear daily was a life I never knew existed until I went to college.
There was 2 girls in my former highschool who were literally bullying and assaulting a kid with autism and took staff faculty approximately 6 minutes to stop this encounter there is a problem in our schools and its the staff and leadership that needs to step up and do more
I was bullied a lot. Two of the kids that bullied me ended up in prison for murder. Bullying needs to be addressed by police officers at every school. From the bullying I was a reckless teen. It was like being in prison everyday not school.
If they (the bullies) don't get their karmic justice in this lifetime (which is far better)...they'll get in in their next life (worse). Many times bullies meet their match later down the road and end up dead...but your bullies graduated to murder and are in prison.
Sometimes bullies become police officers
Sorry you went through that. One of my bullies was with 3 other guys on a Friday Night/Saturday morning in an area where there's lots of drinking. Him and his cronies started with someone who was trained in martial arts. The guy they messed with pulled out a knife stabbing him and his 3 friends. One of them died, another is permanently blind while him and another friend weren't seriously hurt but still needed to be treated. The guy who did the stabbing got off on self defense, even though from what others have said, it was just a case of them picking on the wrong person and the guy retaliated. You live by the sword you die by the sword. Karma will get you either way. I encourage others to take drastic measures to protect themselves at all costs (getting suspended even) because nothing is more important than your life and safety.
It's all he will ever be remembered for. He chose his legacy long ago. About time he deal with it.
I agree with you, Lance Hindt is a bully and a criminal and should have been dealt with a long time ago. A bully of this caliber should have never been allowed to work at a school system or hold a position that has kids involved, since he never grew up himself. As they say, once a prick always a prick.
KARMA !
Agreed. Greg chose a legacy of weakness, 35 yrs ago.
When he got to the part of his speech about putting the gun to his head, I became so emotional. Brave to confront his bully after all this time and get some closure.
Lance should be charged sued for dangerous endangerment and years of emotional abuse on this poor man. Totally unacceptable behavior then and now.
A simple apology probably would have gone a long way.
Clearly the guy has no ability to look at his past actions objectively.
I always wanted to find the guy who bullied me and beat his ass, but then I found out his brother who also bullied me committed suicide. At first I was happy, not gonna lie, but then after a day or so I reflected on what kind of childhood he must have had. I hope he's resting in peace from his torment and I hope his brother is a good Family man with well adjusted kids.
This man is so brave to come forward and avenge himself for such an injustice. In Psalms it says the meek shall inherit the Earth. He's awesome!
@DEATHKLAAT You've never truly read the Bible and have a lack of understanding. Furthermore the Bible always says "fear not" or "don't be afraid".
Isaiah 41:10
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
In Exodus, it tells you how to beat your slave
@@Herperof1000derps Kidnap was punishable by stoning to death, biblical slavery was a voluntary way to repay a debt and is absolutely nothing like the form of slavery people of today try to equate it to. Scripture teaches that all men are created equal, this includes free or bound, and scripture also teaches us to serve others before ourselves, Jesus Himself was a servant. Servants of others are actually highly regarded by God and will receive reward in heaven.
I’m not a huge fan of social media, but I love the fact that it is bringing people to a level of accountability that is absolutely unprecedented. Hearing about this story made my day!
His ego is too big to fix anything. I am so glad you spoke out, that requires bravery!!
I called out a bully highschool coach who actually punched me and was not charged or arrested. He was fired but Ifound out where he worked after 10 years of searching and confronted him. He denied, lied and even cried. He got his ass kicked, I paid heavily for it because I did same thing to a bully with a baseball bat as a freshman in highschool. Both incidents were worth the incarceration.
Two lessons learned:
1. Be careful who you bully, they may come back not to haunt you, they may come back willing to kill you.
2. Dont walk into a classroom/buisness and beat someone into a potato with a room full of witnesses.
Sounds like you were the bully, and full of excuses.
Edyson Maldonado ....I feel great. Got what he deserved as did I and it was worth it. If the justice system hadn't failed a minor and let off an adult scott free, we would not be talking here. Though I made a personal choice and paid dearly...it was worth it.
RE H lol it might go both ways. Violent behavior reciprocates more violent behavior.
You sound a terrible person. Even if the bullies were horrible people you're literally the same as them.
MathiasExeia
Shut up idiot
Always hurt the bully before you even think or dare to hurt yourself.
I was a bullied in middle school by a girl much bigger than me. In band class, in front of the other students, she would take my arms and put them behind my back and press her knee into my back until I yelled. This happened several times, one of which the band teacher just sat there and watched. It was then that I realized that even if someone saw, no one was going to help me here. I went home and told my mother, and they began the process of house shopping, and we moved to a different town that summer. Luckily I was able to get away from that terrible school, other kids are not as lucky.
This is why bullies aren’t punished in school, the ones in charge WERE bullies themselves
He can deny all he wants but when this brave man confronted him 40 years later, and opened his heart and showed his vulnerability, the bully superintendent laughed and showed that he was still the bully he was as a teenager.
Most bullies don't know how to fight and that's why they bully somebody who appears to be less than them because it makes them feel bigger. Teach your children how to punch somebody in the face really hard and that should end the bullying just like it did when I was a kid.
Problem is these days everyone is scared to fight even these so called thugs cant fight everyone goes straight for the pistol
Or the nuts.
@@MandM-tb3lv "That's what they're there for"
Big facts
Excellent way to wind up home-schooling your children, because the teachers and administrators are not going to be on the victim's side.
I’m so glad this man spoke out. Very brave.
I wish they would stop calling it bullying and call it what it is harassment, abuse, assault, physical assault, discrimination and torture. F all the Lances of this world.
Hindt resigned with a 700k payday. Instead of coming clean, apologizing and seeking forgiveness; the bully laughed at the victim and called him a liar. Good riddance to a bully. Letting him lead was like letting a serial killer lead the rehabilitation efforts for other serial killers.
Thank you for stepping up against bullying!
Albeit 35 yrs too late
@@Herperof1000derps well better later than never
As someone who was bullied all through my time in school, there is a difference between bullying and harassment.
No need to overthink it, maybe just do good things for yourself and treat others well when possible.
@@wayne8498 I agree, but physically assaulting someone is very different then some kid getting called a *Fag*. Kids need to learn how to stand up for them selves
What's the difference?
"He was a bully, he's going to know where the weaknesses are. He can fix this"
Awesome how he can put his personal grievances aside after calling him out and having a pragmatic approach to the problem, looking at the bigger picture
If he is laughing as an adult at this, then the guy was OBVIOUSLY the bully.
I would hazard to say that most school shootings were brought into existence by unchecked bullies.
I respectfully disagree with this man who was bullied. Let the bullied fix the problem instead of the bully. The former knows how to fix it better than the latter.
Good for this man to speak up. Mr. Lance Hindt - shame on you. Don't deny this, don't ignore it. Apologize and move on
His apology woulld mean nothing. He is on the opposite spectrum of being authentic.
The biggest bully’s I have ever known were the teachers..
They always sided with the jocks or anyone who made them look good.
20+ years in the Air Force, and an additional 15 years as a manager/director in private business. From 1977 or so, when I first became a supervisor, all the way to retirement in 2018, I looked for bullies. I made it my mission to smash bullies. I have had bullies crying, in front of my desk...right before I fired them. NOTHING made me happier than to fix a problem.
Can I ask if sacking them fixing the problem or just passing onto another company.
“Report bullying” I did and where was my help that I needed? Did the school resolve it? No. Did they get suspended? No. Did anyone help? No. Did I reach out and asked for help? Yes. Did everyone else try to reach out? Yes. But not ONE of the teachers, principles or counselors did anything to stop them. NOT ONE! And yet i’m still here, a guy who went to the hospital because he said he wanted to kill him self, a big teddy bear, a lover instead of a fighter, and heart of gold. 3 years ago that Lance person resigned, but his actions remind me of those terrible years of high school
Walk it off.
I was bullied from 2nd to 12th grade by the same girl and her group of friends. In 7th grade I tired to get help from a techer and told them what happened before school started. Later that day I was sitting by myself at lunch and I dropped some food on the floor. I didn't pick it up as I took my tray to the trash and THE SAME TEACHER I went to get help from gave me Lunch Detention cleaning the floors around this girl and her friend's. I heard them laughing as I walked by and turned around to see them dumping their trays on the floor for me to clean up.
I got suspended the next day for writing a threat letter another classmate saw me writing after lunch. Nothing ever happened to the bully or her friend's and they continued to torment me until graduation. I'm still bitter and messed up from years of abuse. I've been on medications and I see a therapist. But if I ever saw her? I would go to jail for assault. I would not have the strength this man did to talk to his bully. I would knock her gd teeth down her throat.
Greg is inspiring!
how so? because he didnt fight back?
W S shut up
@@jacobf5419 lol thats what i thought fuck you
@@FutureSight666 yeesh, someone's having a bad day
If he was a bully then, he's probably still a bully now. See the way he was smirking thinking it was funny?
But yet he sat there and laughed at him. His little press release is phony
After being bullied I started my lifelong study of the martial arts. Years later my former bully walked onto the dojo where I taught to pick up his girlfriend's son. When I saw him walk in I asked him if he'd like to 'spar'.
He declined my offer so I said, "I see you are still a coward"
Years have gone by and I realize he made the right decision. I may have gone to jail for what I could've done to him.
However, if you are not a martial arts instructor etc, you may not get in as much trouble for beating the snot out of a former bully. (Most martial arts schools advocate for nonviolence. We didn't encourage violence however we were militaristic in much of our training. There are only a few of us left. Our style is dying out.)
I was bullied at school. One thing that i can tell you is that the trauma will never leave you.
It was so important that he did lose his job Mr Greg, especially since he had no remorse.
Mr. Barrett did right confronting his bully. Lindt needed to lose his position & is as arrogant as ever! He didn't apologize, thinks he done nothing wrong, frauded his dissertation & cost his district more than he gave.
Nothing happened too him,he RETIRED with FULL pay and benefits.
Glad this man exposed his evil bullying. Disgusting superintendent. Surprised the superintendent hasn't offed himself for all the evil things he has done to other people like Mr. Gray
What is interesting is he just called out lance for bullying him, but didnt really say anything about how hindt did his job. He didnt even ask for him to resign because of what lance did. But it really shows that lance was more than just a bully, he was a coward for resigning. Lance is probably getting a little bullied for the first time and he resigns.
I was confronted a few years back by a classmate at a class reunion for bullying him. Apparently I didn’t acknowledge him at lunch in high school one time (we grew up together on the same baseball team but I never was that close to him outside of that). Even though it wasn’t true bullying in my eyes, it clearly affected him. I bought him a beer and sat down and apologized regardless. Moral is, you never know how your actions or words might affect someone so deeply. Own it.
Laughing for a serious event shows how unfit he was for his position, you don't laugh, you get angry.
His response to the man was to laugh. That says it all.
Definition of a bully: Afraid of the stronger, hence relieves his frustration on the weak and vulnerable only.
A truly courageous person will never bully the weak as a gesture of class and self respect, which the bully has none.
That superintendent won’t fix it. Especially if he can’t even apologize for his own behavior. I’m just glad he got embarrassed globally.
Thank you for your bravery. He should have apologized and resigned.
This is great man.. After what he suffered and the sociopathic like statement from Hindt . He still doesn't want him to lose his job says everything.
1st watching the original video I thought "Kids can be so cruel but good on you for confronting him".
But hearing Hindt not even own up to it really shows the type of man that he his.
I was bullied relentlessly from the first grade until I graduated from high school. There was no one there to help me thirty something years ago. It altered me and my life and not for the good. I know what it is like to rather die than go face another day of torture and torment. We have to make these people stop bullying kids. The words that bullys use make kids feel less than human and not worthy of life. That is so painfully wrong to do to another human being!!!
😓😓
Totally totally agree with you....!!
👍👍👏👍
🙏🥀🕊️♥️🕊️🥀🙏
He resigned with a $1.3 million dollar severance…basically gave his bully a winning lottery ticket.
He was right about Lance being able to fix the bullying. What better person to address bullies than a guy who was a bully in school. Usually bullies seem to have their own issues with a lot of them stemming from issues at home and they feel helpless so they lash out at those they deem as weaker at school to feel like they have some control in their lives.
1:35 “he can fix this” - maybe so, but a bully wouldn’t want to. Glad he lost his job. He shouldn’t have gotten a big payout though.
