The accuracy of the details of this case are absolutely irrelevant.
The case centers around a young man whose sense of security has been flipped upside down. What he thought was secure is now vulnerable.
Whether the fight occured or not. Whether he "kicked ass" or not, certainly has nothing to do with my response on this thread.
The emotion he expresses is real and severe. He chose to portray himself as his own savior and that may be true or not, and also irrelevant.
The young man did not post this to be a dickhead, but to vent an exteme emotion brought on by a novel and wholly unpleasant experience.
I have responded to this thread in an attempt to say, "I understand your sense of violation and the resultant feeling of impotent rage" and not to indicate that I believe the story as fact nor support violence.
When we sense that we have lost autonomy or have never had it, we do desperate things. We can make up stories about how we evened the score, or we can create a God which will make everything be alright in the end.
The same emotion that drove the original rant is the same emotion that drove the creation of God, loss/lack of control and fear.
Humans are real fairly simple entities.
