What I was wondering is did I do the right thing? my friends were divide, some said I did the right thing, others it wasn't my place or I shoudln't have done anything.[/quote]
You did the right thing, never let any shit heads like that any freedom to do what they were doing.

Personally, its not my place to pass judgement on your actions.
That being said I probably would have reacted similarly.

Good on you, man.

Yes you did the right thing no one has the right to bully someone for being different its good you were willing to stand up for your friend and he will be there for you because you proved you are a good friend
Do right by your friends.
Your actions are defensible, words (other than threats) simply don't register with your adversaries in that sort of situation. The alternative, doing nothing, is far worse.

Being a Satanist, I say you did the right thing.
So yeah. I'll say it would've probably been better just to come up with some witty argument for lulz, but either way, if you can get them pissed off and leaving, you've succeeded. Good job.Satanic Statement 5 said:
If this were real life, I'd give you a high five, man. Violence isn't usually the best answer to everything, but sometimes, a fist to the face is the greatest communication, and this was one of those times. Good job doing what was right.
Punching was very much appropriate. If you was to try to break it up verbally, you would've failed....miserably.
Yes and no for a couple of one main reason. From your story, I'm assuming you don't go to the same school as your friend, so you may have made it worse. The problem is when he goes back to school you won't be able to protect him there. Your friend needs to be the one to stand up to the bullies, if any thing will ever change. Granted if I was in your position, I would have done the same thing, but your friend needs to fight back also.
You did, but you didnt. you made a temporary solution. If the person you defended is an "easy" or repetitive target, then they'll be attacked again, and you wont be there to protect them. Then the bullies will take their aggression out on the kid for the humiliation you gave them.
Personally, I would have done the same thing. and after gaining something of a bad reputation for fighting when i gave advice in other threads, I have to say you handled it well. You didnt think, you just acted, whihc is good. Yes, you should try to use your words, but sometimes (like this) you just dont have that opportunity. only if it was me, and especially if the kid was a friend of mine, it would have been a alot worse phsyically for the people bullying him (we're not exactly all on the same page about how homosexuals should be treated where i live with the minority being they hsould be treated equally, whihc i believe).
You took a step in the right direction though. You showed you wouldnt take your friend being abused. Now your firend has to show that as well. I know, its ahard thing to get over the being bullied mentality, but he has to show now that he wont always need you to defend him. So claps for you:

The bolded part is the key here to determining your moral standing on this one. They assaulted him, that is more than enough reason to beat them half to death. A couple of blows is perfectly justified and is really the only proper response when seeing or receiving it.UncertaintyPrinciple said:
You are 100% in the right and anyone who says otherwise deserves a swift kick to the testicles (or a Falcon Punch to the ovaries).
Edit: As an aside, you should also really try to help your buddy fight back. It doesn't have to be much, but teach him how to throw a punch and try to get him to a mental stage where he is willing to hit back.
