...when the only evidence of Bobby Kent ever having been a 'bully' is the testimony of his murderers? AFTER THE FACT.

There is plenty of evidence out there... I cant remember the site but there is one that goes over the trial, etc. Try googling.
shareThe writer of real book has his sources. Look it up.

The only sources, as I already pointed out, for Bobby Kent being a bully are THE KILLERS.
No one else said they ever noticed it. That I'm aware of, and I read the book. There are some accounts by friends , but they are relaying info told to them by THE KILLERS.

Dude there is plenty of evidence.
All the neighborhood kids reported that Bobby Kent was a bully. He used to throw rocks at and torment this "retarded" kid down the street just for fun.. Lets not forget he forced that gay guy to do that porno movie (which is absolutely fact)..
Also there were a lot of things in the book that the movie really never exposed as well.
Also, why would a bunch of kids, some of whom never met one another until that night just go out and kill a kid for no reason??

"forced" no. his own free will. & it wasn't Harry Suitor. it was a friend of his.(could be wrong it wasn't Harry)

Thats true, theres actually alot of people that think the reason Bobby Kent was murdered was because the rest of his friends didnt like him because they thought he was a "goody two shoes" compare to them.

He shouldve been reported to police.

It's not a true story. The movie is based on a true story. They seem to be pretty clear about that, though.

I've seen some really clever responses on IMDB, but this is by far the best. There's a big difference between a movie claiming to be a factual account of an event, and being based on a true story. I'm sorry if this bothers you.

Perhaps true events you mean?

Bully the movie is just a movie loosely based on a real life event. Movies are fabricated, sometimes loosely based stories on events that actually took place but are over exaggerated for ratings and public interest.
If you were not part of the kids who killed the bully then nobody will ever truly know the real story now will they?

Point is these people exist and real life Bobby Kent was murdered by the gang of teens...

Mistress_of_MrMarilynManson, Do you feel better now after trolling every topic I posted in basically reiterating every damn thing I already said?

In total agreement with OP here. I've read the book, seen the film and done research. I'm not sure I believe Bobby Kent was a big a bully as they made him out to be.
What bothers me is of the whole group, he was the only one who actually got respectable grades in school, was going to college, had a father who actually cared about him and spent time with him, etc. All of the other kids fell into a group of child prostitutes, drug addicts, high school dropouts, and overall lowlifes.
That's still pretty circumstantial evidence saying he wasn't a bully, but I believe the burden of proof is on the murderers in this case showing he WAS a bully. If I were on a jury, I would not be convinced.

I know this a over due reply but it still seems relevant since I didn't see a clear cut answer,
in my eyes I always pictured bobby kent just as a cocky *beep* with just a slight touch of bully, I didn't think he deserved to die and I also feel like any party involved should have gotten life, with that said I sort of agree with you there's no evidence of him being a bully, but you dead wrong about the only evidence of him being a bully was his murderers,
I realize these statements came from marty's parents but this is facts when they said they were a little weary of bobby and marty's friendship because how often marty would come home with a bruise or bleeding, even though these are statements after his death it's not common for a guys parents to lie for him after hes committed such a heinous crime.
most bully incidents go unreported (specially that era) because in the real world it's hard to prove you're getting bullied, and also if the bullying takes place on the bullys property you would be wasting your time to report it.
so that could be another reason why there's no "evidence" of being him a bully
he was rapist
all he did good was have good grades
i guess we will never really know for sure but i will say, from personal experience, the kids with the best grades who come off as goody goody to the general public were usually the ones secretly in the most trouble and up to horrible *beep* in all reality it's easier for them to get away with it. in the end, a kid was murdered, and no matter what he did, didn't deserve to die like that. if things were that bad it should've been handled a different way. but all of these kids were total burn outs and screw ups. can;t expect a lot of good decisions from them.
shareI read that both parents were weary of the friendship between Bobby and Marty. Bobby's because Marty was a drop out and a slacker. Marty's because he would often come home after hanging out with Bobby covered in bruises or blood. This was said by Marty's mom for what it's worth.
