There's 'zero tolerance' ...

.
... and then there's zero tolerance:

A Cheatham County father says he had to take matters into his own hands when his daughter was constantly bullied. He's now facing charges for making threats but says stepping in was worth it.

My wife and I have had many discussions about this, and we've told our daughter in no uncertain terms that no one is ever to lay hands on her. If anyone does lay hands on her we've told her that they get one verbal warning before the gloves come off.

I just hope that she decides to take karate to learn some discipline, else I'll have to teach her from what I remember from my Marine Corps days!
