Korean Father Jailed for Hiring Thugs to Storm School to Intimidate Students Bullying His Daughter
Nobody likes bullies, but this reaction to bullying was a bit too extreme:
The Ulsan District Court has jailed a man who raided a middle school with six thugs to threaten teenage girls who bullied his daughter.
The court Tuesday jailed the father for a year and sentenced the gangsters he hired to terms ranging from eight months to a year. They were accused of the crime in 2015.
The convicted man’s daughter allegedly suffered serious distress two years ago because of school bullies.
The man acted after the bullies shared a photo of his daughter’s body parts with classmates without her permission, asking the thugs to “take revenge.”
Later, the father and one of his henchmen broke into the school principal’s office, threatening the principal to assemble the bullies. The five other thugs were waiting at the school’s main gate to intimidate students and staff.
The principal refused to give in, so the men broke into the bullies’ classroom. They forced the alleged bullies to kneel in front of the class and threatened to beat them. [Korea Times]

Seriously… If you’re going to commit a criminal conspiracy, one would expect one could track down the bullies off campus and administer “counseling” in a much more subtle and effective way… Maybe a combination of “waterboarding” and “Abu Ghraib”?
Or just a tragic car accident with all of the bullies in the same vehicle that crashed through a guardrail… Such a sad loss “just as they were beginning to turn their lives around”…
I read about thugs and henchman…
…but I thought about school administration which did nothing to stop bullying and a principal who did not punish the bullies.
Maybe this guy is crazy and overreacted… or maybe nobody would do anything to make right on a wrong situation and this was the only possible response.
Before condemning this, I would have to know the full story.
A better, more effective approach is to avoid stealing from God:
“Vengeance is Mine, and recompense;
Their foot shall slip in due time;
For the day of their calamity is at hand,
And the things to come hasten upon them.”
Praying does not get the vengeance done here and now (i.e., there’s more to the story than a cosmic ATM); but what payback is delayed on Earth is meted out in the afterlife…
