The thing is, a lot of the movies I've seen set in American high schools, there seems to be this very physical kind of bullying by the lads. particularly the 'jocks'. It's often used as the source for humour (the kid that got a wedgie for being a geek, the kid that got his balls taped up etc).

Now, to me that all sounds fucking hideous and I suspect to most of us here it just sounds like out and out assault. But there is something in that 'jock' school culture that thinks that shit is funny and a natural part of the school experience. That might be why he is seeing it as something to laugh at.

It's utterly reprehensible and shows his utter lack of class as an adult. he could do himself a lot of good if he copped to it and said, yes, it was an awful thing to do. That he was a little wayward as a young man, and didnt really think about consequences to those two young men. That obviously, the man he is now woulod never even dream of doing anything like that, but that the young man he was still had a lot of learning to do.

But no. Because in his heart he's still a fucking jock.
