The bully always remembers it wrong

Today's headline:    Romney apologizes for hurtful high school pranks

It seems the presumptive republican nominee led a group of his friends in prep school to capture, restrain, and hold down a younger boy he thought was gay and cut his hair, that Romney thought was too long to be "right".  It is, I think, typical that a bully will recall brutal physical assault as a "prank".  A prank is putting the principal's VW on the basketball court.  A prank is stealing another school's mascot.  Abuse is not a prank, however amusing it might be to the bully.
