August 30, 2021 03:00 - 39 minutes - 27 MBThis episode explores the courage and altruism it takes to come to someone's defense (both verbally and physically).

Watch Your Mouth! - BULLY (The Biggest Ones Fall The Hardest)
July 25, 2021 22:00 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MBIn this episode our "That Was Then" segment features one of the biggest bully defeats in history - the full Biblical account of David and Goliath. Although we mostly tend to focus on Goliath as the bully, the full text shows us that David had to make it past several people who sought to put and keep him in his place - just to get to Goliath. Throughout these verses, there was a constant push and push-back ranging from “you can’t do that” to “yes I can”, to “you don’t have what it takes… to...

In both cases, the defendants were (eventually) ACQUITTED of all charges. Marvin Anderson, with the help of the Innocence...
