I grew up in a locker room playing sports. I know what it means to say dumb stuff. Never in my life have i ever uttered half of the words that these guys were posting in the presence of a. Would. And i never will. Reporter his daughter gabby eventually got wind of the trolling. There were so many comments and they got worse and worse. And people were feeding off of them and they were all negative. I thought im going to get in my car drive three hours and beat the hell out of a couple guys. Then i started to think about it. Reporter thats when schilling decided to take matters into his own hands. He took screen shots off the tweets and posted them on his blogs, redeveloping theirvealing their identities to his fans and asking, is this okay at any time . One of the people named is somebody who used to work here as a ticket seller for the yankees. Not any more. Another tweeter has been suspended from school. Reporter twitter the problem directly writing an internal memo we suck at dealing with abuse and trolls on the platform, and weve sucked at it for were going to start particularkicking these people off.

She could be planning to do it the next night and i would have no clue. Reporter they told us they pro actively scan posts and take down offensive content. We reached out for comment but have not heard back at airtime. The world the internet creates is alarmingly like what the brain of a psychopath looks like. Reporter paula todd is the author of extreme mean, and says anonymity contributes to this type of Cyber Bullying. We could be living in the mindset of a psychopath. And that means not caring about each other. Not seeing each other. Getting your laughs at the expense of somebody else or really really hurting somebody. Thats how a psychopath feels. Reporter it took the intervention of parents and School Administrators to stop the bullies. Shes a different girl than the one who ran away and attempted suicide.

Army veteran and a devout christian who has made it his personal mission to fight isis in Northern Iraq. Abcs chief Foreign Correspondent terry moran takes us now within sight of the infamous black flag of the islamic state. Reporter youve heard of them. Americans and europeans who become jihadis to fight for isis. The fighting has just begun. Reporter now meet a holy warrior on the other side a u. S. Army veteran whos come back to iraq on his own to fight against isis in the name of jesus christ. We traveled across Northern Iraq to the front lines to meet him. So the next towns over are full of isis. Yes. And youll reporter how far are they . How far . Less than 2 kilometers. Reporter so about an hour. He asked that we not use his last name to protect his family. Hes 28 years old, and hes been here six months now taking the fight to isis. Here we are sitting outside the cemetery in this area that is now your home. Its beautiful. Reporter it is. You could die here. We might, but its peaceful. Its nice. Reporter are you prepared to die . Oh, yes. Its nothing to be afraid of. Everyone dies. But id rather die doing something for other people and serving god instead of sitting home. Reporter why you . Why not . You know, gee sauce says what you do unto the least of them you do unto me. And i take that very seriously. I take that to heart. Reporter so bretts mission to protect Iraqi Christians yazidis. Isis hates them with a grotesque passion, just in the past month slaughtering christians on a libyan beach abducting more than 200 christians from a syrian village. Do they attack much . Oh, yeah. We have positions. This area frequently gets mortared. Reporter so this is home now, a deserted Christian Village overrun by isis last summer taken back by kurdish troops. The black flag of isis flies from the water tower in the next town. The militia fights alongside. We head up to the high positions that brett and their Kurdish Peshmerga fighters use to scan the no mans land. Direct the scope over to the water tower in that town. On the top, youll see flying very clearly, huge black flags, which are isis flags. See them . Reporter yeah, i do. Theyre out there. Thats our motivation every day. Reporter its an ideal position, and the fighters here have used it to launch mortars at isis. And theres this rare glimpse, bretts own video of boots on the ground way up here in Northern Iraq. Members of the u. S. Led coalition launch a raven drone. And then coordinate air strikes or artillery fire on isis positions. Nice takeoff. Reporter but the fight is far from over here. And this position remains precarious. How frequently does this place get mortared or shot out from this position . A couple times a week yeah. Religiously. And if the weather conditions are bad, more frequently. Reporter they like bad weather. They love it. Its the thief in the night. Reporter you hear a lot of scripture woven into bretts conversation. This is from the bible. Psalm 23. Reporter he wears his faith on his sleeve, literally. And he wears his american combat fatigues from his first tour in iraq. 2006 and 2007 in the infamous triangle of death, we talked about it in a town behind the front lines. Those are pretty intense years. Did you see a lot of combat . Oh, yeah. I seen enough to last me a lifetime. I was blown up by ieds. We were mortared numerous times. You know friends, i lost friends, taken head shots from snipers. You know unfortunately, you know,ive he iveve had to take other peoples lives. It has a lasting impact, i would say. Reporter when he got home he had troubles, a diagnosis of ptsd after suffering severe wounds in an ied attack and a job he didnt love. Then brett watched as isis swept across iraq inflicting tremendous suffering especially on the christian and yazidi communities. And it clicked for him. This was his fight again. Businesses open. Restaurants are open. The church bells ring. Reporter and this is the victory then. This is the real victory. Reporter above this time square, the christian monastery, whose bells have rung for hundreds of years, even as it was besieged by invaders. An apparently endless cycle of violence. What do you say to americans who say were done with iraq. Its broken. They have to fix it. This isnt our war . I say shame on them because i was here myself in 2006 2007. We have a responsibility to help rebuild what we broke. Reporter and brett is not alone. Has already been joined by about a halfdozen others, and he says they are just the tip of the spear. How many are there like you, americans and others westerners christians who are willing to come and fight with you . Theres a lot. Reporter how manys a lot . Right now, i mean, my in box fills up every day. Reporter hundreds . Hundreds hundreds many hundreds. Its overwhelming. Reporter but does iraq really need more foreign fighters fired by religious zeal . Isis says theyre motivated by faith. You say youre motivated by faith. Whats the difference . They dont know god. If they did, they would know that god would never command you to commit such atrocities. They want to rule. We dont want to rule. We want peace, because we know that god rules. Reporter a holy war. And in this fight, a soldier of christ, as brett describes himself, must be the mosthated man on the battlefield for then any who know of him and thirst for his blood. Youve seen these video, the beheadings, they burn people alive. The atrocities. Are you afraid that might happen to you if they caught you . No. Reporter why not . It is very real. It is very real. But jesus said be faithful unto death and i will give you the crown of life. Reporter willing to walk his faith. So he has returned to the valley of death.
