He didn’t break the law. The cops and judge bullied him because they didn’t like the look of him.
I daresay the coppers that gave him a hard time were nowhere near as bad as he would have gotten back home from what I hear, so I really do not feel all that bad about the razzing he went through. Having had a LEO threaten to arrest Me on "suspicion of being a drug dealer" if I did not move along, I doubt I will be breaking out the hankie any time soon over his "mistreatment".
Cops single you out for not looking like everyone else all the time. If you do not believe this, try driving without a seatbelt anywhere these days and watch how quick they pounce. As far as being 'bullied' ;p *laugh* any one of several instructors I had during boot camp in the military would have been doubled up laughing at the accusation that this was bullying of any type.
Just wait until he accidentally walks in the wrong neighborhood sometime wearing either blue or read headgear when it's the opposing gang's territory and see how some real 'bullying' quickly occurs.
