What happened when I confronted my cruellest troll

[mackerel]

36. When I was a kid my Father had real live trolls always after him

during the Peace Marches of the late 60's and early 70's. There were these 3 brothers and their mother who would follow my Dad and his activists buddies around when they organised a peace march or were doing their lettuce boycotts. They would hurl stuff as they drove by. They would sometimes jump some of the teenagers marching. They were madass crazy. But the po po didn't do much about it. It took years of these guys doing all kinds of mean violent stuff before they were finally put in prison and their mother was left all alone to cry in her beer. (They even beat my science teacher up once for asking them to not spend all Sunday day revving their motorcycles - he lived down the street.)

Cyber trolls are just insecure people with keyboard courage. Some of them take it to real life though.
