Looks like Waymo just killed a cat. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/waymo-killed-cat-2113...
Bullies may either have psychological issues, abuse issues at home with their family, or they may be in a gang. “Standing up to a bully” in junior high or high school may get you jumped by the whole gang, maybe even stabbed. The bully may harbor a grudge and make sure to make an example of you.
More broadly, this idea countries have that “this time we’ll retaliate and hit them so hard, they won’t retaliate and hit us back anymore” is what leads to endless escalation in wars.
There are better ways to deal with bullies than “standing up to them” as an individual.

It is disingenuous of The Guardian to run an article without posting photos of what everyone is annoyed enough about to make new laws regarding.
