Man Who Called Out Alleged Former Bully Lance Hindt Gets Huge Response! 

Hindt was a coward and resigned. The applause he received when he announced his resignation says how bad he was at his job.

Hindt is lying. He should show some balls and admit his guilt and he should apologise. But that's the problem with bullies. They are cowards.

It's pretty shocking how much older the victim looks than the bully, even though they are the same age. Lance had a priviledged life, and it shows.

I'm so glad that Mr. Barrett did not take his own life, and that he was able to tell his story years after. Mad respect from Canada.

He was laughing after hearing the story again about what he'd done. That was proud laughter. Pathetic

He's still a bully. His denial gives him a sense of control over you.

I was bullied for many years when I was a teenager. That was almost 20 years ago and I'm still fighting feelings of inferiority and depression. Bullying is no joke, it can scar you for life and many people never heal from it.

The worst part is when the bullying comes from people with status or popularity from within the school. It’s amazing how well a kid can hide being a total psychopath from all the adults just to absolutely abuse students who can’t get anyone around them to believe it’s going on.

I was bullied in High School. About five years ago, the school bully who bullied me, approached me at the Mall and asked if I remembered him. I was with my kids and didn't want to start a scene, and told him I did recognize him, and didn't want anything from him. He then stuck out his hand and said, well, lets let bygones be bygones and forget the whole thing. I was shocked, he was still trying to deny his part and was pushing the responsibility on me. I told him, again, I want nothing from him and to get away from me or I was going to call Mall Security. The SOB had the nerve to try and hand me his business card (insurance agent) before he left. Well, last year, the son-of-a-bitch was turned in by his oldest Son for child molesting, among other charges . He got 25 years in prison. I sent a long letter to the Son, we've had some interesting chats since.

But I think he should loss his job. Look at Lance’s reaction. That was disgusting.

The fact that this brave man, Greg, was bullied by Hindt and still wanted him to keep his job shows such strength and resolve. But Hindt is a failure and doesn’t have the same strength and courage as he does, and will live out the rest of his life knowing he’s a failure. God bless Greg! What an amazing man. He made a huge impact by telling his story.

I was severely bullied at school. My solidarity and best wishes to victims of bullying everywhere.

MY daughter was bullied. In 6th grade. I noticed her losing weight, lots of weight, she was more quiet, she seemed unmotivated, and cried out of nowhere. She finally opened up and cried our loud. Went to the school. Went to the kids parents houses to resolve it. 4 months later, she came home crying, it wasn't stopping. I called my landlord, broke my lease, and moved 23 miles away to a better school system. Best thing i ever did for her.

“Dr” Hindt laughed at this gentleman when he confronted him in the original video. Then resigns after realizing how quickly it went viral. The bully isn’t going to bullying.

I am 48, I still know all the names of the bullies from my high school. Difference is I joined the Army, they have a shock now when I am in my home town. Some of them have never left, or travelled. I have no feelings towards them for what they done to me. I didn't do well at school but now am studying for my degree in engineering.

This man is a hero. So glad he didn't kill himself.

I was bullied in middle school. I was smaller, younger, and had become somewhat of an introvert while my parents were going through a divorce. I flunked 8th grade on purpose after I realized that those bullies would be heading off to high school and I would be rid of them. It worked like a charm. I have a summer birthday, so I had always been the youngest person in my class. The next year, I was suddenly the oldest. I was bigger than most, and I became popular over night. It was a great move. After that, I never let someone else be bullied in my presence. I got into several fights later on because I could not stand to see anyone get bullied. I didn't always win, but when a bully knows he is going to have to fight you, whether he wins or loses, he will think twice about it. They only like to bully when there are no strings attached. A physical altercation is often times that VERY LAST thing a bully is ready for. They are just as willing to avoid it as the kid they are picking on, and they are bluffing.

Imagine being almost 50 and still dealing with this.

a lot of us were bullied in school, including me, i hope this dude gets everything going his way

The corrupt board is wasting taxpayer's money on suing the guy that was bullied! And paid the bully like a CEO's golden parachute when he left too??? This board needs to go! Appalling

Dr Hindt is a liar. Greg thank you for speaking out.

Hindt resigned! Thankfully. The Katy ISD school board had been made aware of Hindt's assault charge on a man that he was involved with in a road rage incident, yet chose to ignore the warning signs and approved his hiring anyway. A number of witnesses came forward to confirm what went on when he was a football player in high school and confirmed the bullying incidents in junior high.

I was bullied for so many years. Abused, picked on, laughed at, had my stuff stolen, and attempted suicide many times because of the trauma I went through. I relate to him so much and this guy is my actual hero.

20+ years in the Air Force, and an additional 15 years as a manager/director in private business. From 1977 or so, when I first became a supervisor, all the way to retirement in 2018, I looked for bullies. I made it my mission to smash bullies. I have had bullies crying, in front of my desk...right before I fired them. NOTHING made me happier than to fix a problem.

The problem is that sometimes teachers and school officials are also bullies. Teaching other bullies that their behavior is ok. First hand experience here. I don't think Lance ever learned from his mistakes and may very well still be that kind of person. He should not be allowed to show kids that it's ok to be a bully. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Im 35 yrs old and still remember the bullies that harrassed and insulted me when I was in grade 8. So I understand where this man is coming from.

My grand-daughter had a bullying problem with some "RICH KIDS" she reported it to the school principal, nothing happened. She had the opportunity to video these 2 kids destroying her lockers and putting some mean stuff in there. If she hadn't had that video, the school wouldn't do anything. She said she was going to the police, the school board and the newspapers if the school didn't take action. The girls were suspended for 3 days, their parents went ballistic! She stood up to them all and I as a grandparent didn't know anything about it. She never told me, she was scared it would upset me too much. I was proud of her for standing up for herself, but mostly showing other kids that action can be taken against these bullies.

When I was in middle school, I was bullied a lot. I remember one time I came home and was so aggravated and frustrated with my situation, I tried to suffocate myself using a coke bottle. I never lost consciousness and eventually I gave up on it. Needless to say as an adult I have no sympathy towards those who harass other human beings.

I disagree. He is a bully. And a violent one. He doesn't know how the victim feels. He probably still takes pleasure of hurting people. I don't think he would care about solving the bullying problem. His laugh shows denial and how he doesn't care about his own action, and he never feels sorry about bullying. Bullies don't remember what they have done, because they never care about how the bullied feel.

Greg says that because Hindt was a bully he would be the best candidate for solving the problem. But if after all those years Hindt still finds his actions funny, then I doubt he can do nothing but perpetuate that behavior.

I can feel the hurt this man felt, you can tell he is a compassionate person. Someone who has gone through that pain never wants anyone else to feel it again.

He didn't get fired/resigned because he bullied in the past.... it was his response and failure to accept responsibility or show any amount of compassion is what got him the boot. I don't think he could have fixed anything.

If anything, a victim should be in charge. A victim not only knows how to spot bullying, but they know what it feels like. They understand the seriousness of it. A "former" bully doesn't know what it feels like. They just know the feeling of ecstasy they received from making someone's life horrible.

I guess he didn’t get the “Hindt” that bullying is NOT OK!!!

The way he was laughing at him when he told his story tells you everything ...someone wrongly accused of.soemthing like this wouldn't laugu

Greg your life means so much to so many! ❤ Your couragouesness is inspiring to me, I'm sure others can take your bravery and fuel it for themselves to speak up when abused or bullied. To not feel intimidated by the bully and to keep speaking up when you know things are wrong! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You looked your coward bully in the eye and you set him straight! Im so proud of you. You are a gleam of prosperity and courage. I'm so glad you choose not to take your life that day! Your life has so much meaning. Im praying for your healing and happiness. God bless you Greg! ❤

The effects of bullying last forever. The sense of helplessness as a child creates similar feelings into adulthood.

The superintendent man is totally a lier. After 35 years, he still doesn't apologize about what he did to his classmate who was brutally bullied. Lying is his first reaction, and he should be shamed.

I got bullied in eighth grade. I hated my life, I didn’t know i was bullied until about a year later. The girls and boys who bullied me were ‘cool’ and stuff. I hated them, still do. I have a lots of great friends now, and i’m not getting bullied anymore, i was shy at first (in high school) but now not so much, still a little shy but teachers like me and i have great and supporting friends. I got accepted into a great school and in a year i will be studying how to become a movie director, and hopefully i can say later on, that those bullied were nothing. That i, a hopefully kind person, came far in life, be good and successful and have an amazing family. And those bullies will be sorry for that they bullied me, because i’m sure they won’t be as good. They were bad at school then (now) never listened, never made homework, didnt respect teachers and other students. They will become terrible adults. So yeah it may be mean, but i know i won’t and don’t feel sorry for them:)

just imagine going to school and no one is bullying you... you are just there to study and enjoy time with your friends. life would be more beautiful and fun

Nah that guy deserves to get fired. He just laughed at Greg.

I confronted an old bully from when I was a kid back in the 80's. He apologized to me and told me about how messed up his family was. It was pretty amazingl to get closure on that. Some of that stuff is as fresh in my memory as it was 30 years ago.

His ego is too big to fix anything. I am so glad you spoke out, that requires bravery!!

I’m so proud of you. It’s never too late to stand up to bullies.

I am an introvert child and bullying experience made me afraid and inferior all my life. I'm still trying to move forward but the scar is still there. It's hard.

I was bullied once upon a time ago. Until I realized “well I’m already receiving pain, mind as well try to give some back at the same time”. Always stand up for yourself and others.

When he got to the part of his speech about putting the gun to his head, I became so emotional. Brave to confront his bully after all this time and get some closure.

I’m so glad this man spoke out. Very brave.

Wow. I know what it's like to be in this man's shoes. I was also bullied harshly and mercilessly. From Kindergarten through 3rd grade, I attended a French-American Private school in Dallas. I can't tell you how much bullying and cruel mistreatment I endured. Mainly because of my struggles with a serious learning disability. It was around first grade that I began displaying symptoms of ADHD. Teachers just took advantage of it. Bashing me, mistreating me, you name it. Second grade was the worse of all because BOTH my teachers inflicted extreme cruel mistreatment on me. One of them even made fun of me every day knowing I couldn't defend myself. And as God as my witness, she even encouraged the kids to bully me. Taking advantage of the fact that I couldn't defend myself because of my disability. One time I got pushed down the stairs in front of the teacher and all she did was grab me by the shirt and say, "Stop your crying you baby." To this day, they've yet to apologize. They never will. They'll just deny everything. The kids all apologized and I forgave them. But those two teachers from Second Grade? Never showed remorse for their actions. They're just like this man, Hindt. Dishonest cowards. I would love to meet the man who suffered and tell him my story. We're both strong guys who went through a lot. I am about to be 27. And I am waiting for the moment to confront those two teachers. When I do, I'll show them that their sins hurt me and put me down, but I got back up. With God's love and his blessing to me of strength.

I was also a victim of bullying, my older brother and I were left by our mother when we were 1 and 2 years old, she was an alcoholic we were told. Our father had total custody of us and we grew up in our grandfathers house. We did not have much but we had all we needed, a large garden which we helped our grandfather take care of and a coal furnace that would have us opening windows in February. We never had a real bathroom just a toilet in the back corner of my grandfathers room, we washed up in the kitchen sink for baths. Not a Disney childhood but we were happy for what we had. Kids can be very cruel sometimes and would harass me over my clothes, the house I lived in, basically being poor. That was over 45 years ago, some of the kids that made fun are now adults that still live in my area, we do not speak ever, it is too late for that now. I understand the feelings of this man even at the age he is now, forgiveness is nearly impossible at times and you still carry the resentment forever sometimes.

The biggest bully’s I have ever known were the teachers.. They always sided with the jocks or anyone who made them look good.

This man is a class act. Stood up to a bully but still wants to see the man succeed in making the world a better place, even after the man laughed at him and denied the torment.

His laughter when he was confronted was so uncalled for and tells me that he really is a bully and now a liar because he denies it ever happened. I doubt he has ever taken responsibility or apologized for anything in his life.

I remember my dad told me, he was recognized by his school bully when they were at a night club. Apparently the guy tried to shake my dads hand, as if they were old friends, and my dad just swung on the dude and a brawl broke out lol I’ve never really been bullied, but I can imagine that bitter sweet feeling of running into your bully as an adult.

But yet he sat there and laughed at him. His little press release is phony

I’m not a huge fan of social media, but I love the fact that it is bringing people to a level of accountability that is absolutely unprecedented. Hearing about this story made my day!

You can tell this man is sincere, while Lance is a 100% politician that only cares about appearance and power

As someone who got bullied hard and no teacher cares about me, I respect this man, thank you.

“Report bullying” I did and where was my help that I needed? Did the school resolve it? No. Did they get suspended? No. Did anyone help? No. Did I reach out and asked for help? Yes. Did everyone else try to reach out? Yes. But not ONE of the teachers, principles or counselors did anything to stop them. NOT ONE! And yet i’m still here, a guy who went to the hospital because he said he wanted to kill him self, a big teddy bear, a lover instead of a fighter, and heart of gold. 3 years ago that Lance person resigned, but his actions remind me of those terrible years of high school

They never mentioned this in the fallow up, but the bully sued Greg for defamation as well.

There was 2 girls in my former highschool who were literally bullying and assaulting a kid with autism and took staff faculty approximately 6 minutes to stop this encounter there is a problem in our schools and its the staff and leadership that needs to step up and do more

I was bullied a lot. Two of the kids that bullied me ended up in prison for murder. Bullying needs to be addressed by police officers at every school. From the bullying I was a reckless teen. It was like being in prison everyday not school.

If he was a bully then, he's probably still a bully now. See the way he was smirking thinking it was funny?

Nothing happened too him,he RETIRED with FULL pay and benefits.

Always hurt the bully before you even think or dare to hurt yourself.

It's all he will ever be remembered for. He chose his legacy long ago. About time he deal with it.

I respectfully disagree with this man who was bullied. Let the bullied fix the problem instead of the bully. The former knows how to fix it better than the latter.

Thank you for your bravery. He should have apologized and resigned.

A simple apology probably would have gone a long way. Clearly the guy has no ability to look at his past actions objectively.

This man is so brave to come forward and avenge himself for such an injustice. In Psalms it says the meek shall inherit the Earth. He's awesome!

I was bullied from 2nd to 12th grade by the same girl and her group of friends. In 7th grade I tired to get help from a techer and told them what happened before school started. Later that day I was sitting by myself at lunch and I dropped some food on the floor. I didn't pick it up as I took my tray to the trash and THE SAME TEACHER I went to get help from gave me Lunch Detention cleaning the floors around this girl and her friend's. I heard them laughing as I walked by and turned around to see them dumping their trays on the floor for me to clean up. I got suspended the next day for writing a threat letter another classmate saw me writing after lunch. Nothing ever happened to the bully or her friend's and they continued to torment me until graduation. I'm still bitter and messed up from years of abuse. I've been on medications and I see a therapist. But if I ever saw her? I would go to jail for assault. I would not have the strength this man did to talk to his bully. I would knock her gd teeth down her throat.

There was a kid in my high school that got bullied, the people that picked on him called him dirty. He got called out of a fight by a popular kid, that kid rolled 30 deep to the bullying alley, all the kids came in their nice cars. Dirty rode up alone, on his bicycle, got off and ghosted his bike and as it was still rolling to the snow bank he blasted his bully in the nose. He was still called dirty after that day, but people but respect on that name from that day forward. The bully doesn’t always get his, but when he does…

I always wanted to find the guy who bullied me and beat his ass, but then I found out his brother who also bullied me committed suicide. At first I was happy, not gonna lie, but then after a day or so I reflected on what kind of childhood he must have had. I hope he's resting in peace from his torment and I hope his brother is a good Family man with well adjusted kids.

Most bullies don't know how to fight and that's why they bully somebody who appears to be less than them because it makes them feel bigger. Teach your children how to punch somebody in the face really hard and that should end the bullying just like it did when I was a kid.

He can deny all he wants but when this brave man confronted him 40 years later, and opened his heart and showed his vulnerability, the bully superintendent laughed and showed that he was still the bully he was as a teenager.

His response to the man was to laugh. That says it all.

Thank you for stepping up against bullying!

Greg is inspiring!

Big hugs to this man he reminds me of grandpapa.. and i'm truly sorry that the school system has failed you.

He publicly shamed himself (and his whole family) because he laughed it off.

Good for this man to speak up. Mr. Lance Hindt - shame on you. Don't deny this, don't ignore it. Apologize and move on

I called out a bully highschool coach who actually punched me and was not charged or arrested. He was fired but Ifound out where he worked after 10 years of searching and confronted him. He denied, lied and even cried. He got his ass kicked, I paid heavily for it because I did same thing to a bully with a baseball bat as a freshman in highschool. Both incidents were worth the incarceration. Two lessons learned: 1. Be careful who you bully, they may come back not to haunt you, they may come back willing to kill you. 2. Dont walk into a classroom/buisness and beat someone into a potato with a room full of witnesses.

Laughing for a serious event shows how unfit he was for his position, you don't laugh, you get angry.

Thank you for standing up for us that have been bullied. Being bullied changed me as a person. I wonder what my life would have been sometimes. We should never be ashamed and teach our children to tell someone if it is happening to them

As someone who was bullied all through my time in school, there is a difference between bullying and harassment.

Thank you, sir, for having the courage to call out that bully!

I had one apologize to me 20 years after the fact. I was proud of myself when I refused to accept. I wanted to give a speech to him about how I was glad for him that he was trying to find inner peace but that I was not going to aid in providing it. I wanted to tell him he can continue to live with whatever torment he was feeling because his relentless attacks on me heavily influenced my life path and brought me to mental collapse in situations I would have otherwise handled. I wanted to, but I just said no thanks.

He still didn't admit to what he did. If he would admit it and make a sincere apology things would be different. But no, he's too fool of himself I guess.

"He was a bully, he's going to know where the weaknesses are. He can fix this" Awesome how he can put his personal grievances aside after calling him out and having a pragmatic approach to the problem, looking at the bigger picture

I was bullied relentlessly from the first grade until I graduated from high school. There was no one there to help me thirty something years ago. It altered me and my life and not for the good. I know what it is like to rather die than go face another day of torture and torment. We have to make these people stop bullying kids. The words that bullys use make kids feel less than human and not worthy of life. That is so painfully wrong to do to another human being!!!

No he *should* lose his job, because his reaction was not one of humility and regret... He just laughed in your face when you outed him. He doesn't deserve to serve education.

May god give this man peace for what he has been through. May all of you find peace and become better people.

This is great man.. After what he suffered and the sociopathic like statement from Hindt . He still doesn't want him to lose his job says everything. 1st watching the original video I thought "Kids can be so cruel but good on you for confronting him". But hearing Hindt not even own up to it really shows the type of man that he his.

I don't believe Dr. Lance.

It's known that high school management taking action against bullies has been a joke

I was confronted a few years back by a classmate at a class reunion for bullying him. Apparently I didn’t acknowledge him at lunch in high school one time (we grew up together on the same baseball team but I never was that close to him outside of that). Even though it wasn’t true bullying in my eyes, it clearly affected him. I bought him a beer and sat down and apologized regardless. Moral is, you never know how your actions or words might affect someone so deeply. Own it.

1:35 “he can fix this” - maybe so, but a bully wouldn’t want to. Glad he lost his job. He shouldn’t have gotten a big payout though.

Bully can’t take getting bullied what a coward

This is why bullies aren’t punished in school, the ones in charge WERE bullies themselves

I am so touched, this man who stand out encouraged me.
