John Aaronson approaches Dwight Scott at lunch to warn him about getting involved in fights and standing up for others. He explains that doing so will make Dwight a target for bullies and could endanger his life. John advises Dwight that while standing up against injustice is important, he should be smarter about it and avoid building a reputation as a vigilante. John also reveals that the girl Dwight defended, Abby Grace, is actually very tough and skilled in martial arts, so she doesn't need his help. He tells Dwight it's best sometimes to just be a good person yourself rather than confronting others.

2. After Getting My Ass Beat, I am Sitting At Lunch When This Guy Comes Up …
LUNCH
Hi, My
Name Is
John
Aaronsen.
So I Heard
About What
Happened
With You
And Abby.

3. Yeah? What
About Her?
She Is A TOUGH
GIRL. She Can Take
Care Of Herself. You
Really Don’t Need
To Go Around
Standing Up For
People Playing Hero
Like That.

4. I’d Have Done
That For Anyone
But
Why?
?
Because I’m Sick
And Tired Of Bullies
Let Me
Explain
Something!!

5. Dwight
Scott.
Sorry,
What’s
your
name
again??

6. Well Dwight, do you
know who else is sick
and tired of bullies??
That
Guy
Over
There
And That
Guy Over
There Too

7. If We Just Go Around Getting Involved In Fights We Start To Build Up Enemies.
You Won’t Notice It At First. Then, Slowly, Your Reputation Builds Up. Next Thing You
Know, Dwight Scott Is Now The Target Of Every Bully.

8. Well thank you, I don’t
want to do that. But if
you were there, you
would have seen what
those two guys were
about to do to her. It
would have made you
mad too
Look, I know that you were doing the
right thing in standing up for that girl but
if you keep on doing stuff like that, by
that I mean being a vigilante and
building up a reputation as a vigilante,
you will make yourself a target.

9. Trust me, when people do those kinds
of things, it makes me mad. Some
things around here make me very
upset, trust me. But sometimes, you
need to not do anything about it.
Why
not?
Well, for a few reasons. First of all, Abby
Grace is a really tough nutshell, as you
have learned. Trust me, she does not
need you’re help. Sure she is only 18,
but she is about as strong as forty
Tomko toy trucks and has a black belt in
karate, tae kwon doe and in Ha Kae Do.
That
explains a
lot.

10. Also, you faced a huge example of how sick a lot
of people are in the bully niche. But you faced a
very small example of how dangerous those kinds
of people are. You not only make yourself a target
when you do those kinds of things, but you also
make yourself at a risk of life and death. We need
people to stand up, but also to smarten up.
What’s your
name again?
Dwight
Scott.
From
Chicago.
John Aaronson.
I commute
because I’m
from around
here. And you?

11. Funny. My cousin Dan is
from there. Oh by the way,
it is for the best that you
do not tell anyone about
Abby. That is something
that I should probably not
have told you.
I Won’t
Tell A
Soul
Any
time
Than
k you
She would kill me
if she found out I
told too many
people.

12. I have told you enough
already. Well, I’m sure to
see you soon enough
later on, on campus.
How do you know
her anyway?
I really got
worried. I worry
for you, not just
you, but people
like you.
Sometimes, the best thing
you can do is to not always
go after the bad people.
Sometimes, all you can do is
just to be a good person.

13. And Then, He Walked Away … …
