Clint,
Nice idea...and I hope this was said in jest
because I think it pushes the limit of the current child abuse
laws.
Doing this could very well cause a lawsuit for your
outpost. And, furthermore, what kind of example are we giving the other Rangers?
(That it is ok to punish the bully using group tactics!)
My idea is to love the bully so much that the Love
of Christ overtakes him. He wants attention, so give him the attention in the
form of loving him. This even goes for the boy to boy relationship. It is not
our job as a Ranger Commander to teach the boys how to fight unless given
permission from the parents. It is our job to show them how to love another in
spite of the circumstances. If a boy feels the need to defend himself, so be it.
We have to watch how we as commanders get involved.
IMHO and in His Love,
Bob Triphahn

Here's how you handle a bully in the outpost:
Next campout, you bring two branding irons. When you are all sitting
around the fire, relaxing at the end of the day, you pronounce judgement
on
the bully- he will be BRANDED! Have one branding iron in the fire, in
plain
view of all, especially the bully. Have another, unbeknownst to
everyone, in
the ice-chest. Hold the bully down. (Now this may take your
entire gold bar
staff, depending on how big and how mean a bully this
particular one is.)
Brandish the iron, and blindfold the bully. Take the
other iron out of the
ice. Tell the bully to brace himself, then stick the
cold iron to him. For
an instant, the bully will not distinguish between
hot and cold, as the
shock of the severe temperature of the cold iron hits
him. (Like in the
shower, sometimes, right at first, you can't tell if
it's really hot or
really cold.) The bully will, at this point, yell,
holler, and scream. Most
likely, he will perform an entertaining dance as
well. This never fails. All
the other boys will see that he is not so
tough after all, and so will he.
He will be a bully no more in the eyes of
himself or the other boys.
This is how you cure a bully in the
outpost.
