This put me at a nice vantage point at the front but side most pews so I was able to see the majority except for the few behind my row. My family usually sits at the last central pew, but

Andrew does not protect the weak. He simply, due to his mindless following of his position in society, sees it fit to protect Claire because she is in the same social standing as him. As if he was truly a protector of the inept, he would not bully the nerds and geeks at his school. Additionally, Andrew taped together the buttocks of Larry Lester, who was the average geeky kid. While later on in the film, he regrets his actions, he states how he “...tortured [Larry Lester] because [he] wanted [his father]
