    We’re like the college-age big brother of the school bully. If you try to stand up to the bully, we’ll come kick your ass because no matter how much of a little prick he is, he’s family and we’ve got his back.

      So what if our little brother was more than just a prick? A stray punch thrown during a fight knocks some innocent kids’ teeth out? What if he killed someone one day by pushing them around too hard? How do you deal with that when the cops are too busy and your parents aren’t home?

      I wish we, as College-Bro, would quit blindly defending our “family” and start thinking about the recipients. Our little bully brother needs to be grounded for a while like our Russian cousin.

      My real question: how would you ground a child holding a loaded gun?
