Soy un poco loco en el coco.
Surprised you missed this though:

Why surprised, Herb?
Um, when I was a kid we did shit like locking my brother and his
friends in each others lockers so that they had to yell out their
combinations to passers-by in order to get out again. Basically the
same thing, no?

You are losing your title as the number one shit stirrer. Surely such
a coveted title will be not be lost easily. Do I have to do all the
work here?
Obviously, you needed an uncle like this one.

I mean, really, they hung a kid on a fence. This gag has been going on
since the first fence was invented, and before that it was hanging
kids on trees and bushes, FFS. Nobody was hurt. So why the need for a
beatin'? That said, I haven't watched the video, but are we really
such pussies that this kind of hijinks is now a federal crime or
someshit?

Take one Gurka and call me in the morning.

Seven 16-17 year olds on one 13 year old isn't fair at all, plus it seems they've been picking on
him for some time. It being de rigeur nowadays to use your mobile phone to record shit, these
bullies have handed the cops all the evidence they need, the dumbasses.
I'm no expert in the field, but on-going bullying does seem to have long-term effects on some people.
A simple birching of the offenders in the town square would seem to be a sufficient punishment, woud
it not?

Well, duh, but back in my day it wouldn't really have been much to
worry about. "Fair" had nothing to do with it when we locked the
smaller kids in their lockers, in fact, the less fair it was the
better, that's why we did it to smaller kids FFS!

I don't think experts in the field are experts in the field either.

Honestly I don't even know these days. Is it assault? By law, clearly
it is. What should the consequences be? I don't know. Somehow a
criminal record, even a juvenile one, seems to be overkill. But at the
same time if it's ongoing bullying of a vulnerable kid, then yeah,
*something* should be done.
Pierre
This wasn't a harmless prank; they terrorized the poor kid for 20 mins.

Yeah, there's a lot of do-gooders out there...

A town square birching would do the trick.

Did you hear that pig sermonizing? "Why don't
citizens do their duty?"
uh, what's the law on non-gov't payroll citizens
carrying weapons, chief? What's the CCW
situation in Philadelphia? What would your
goons do if some citizen pulled out a bat and
started swinging?
Make me puke, chief, you're worse than any gang -

Maybe he was just wishing they'd have dropped a dime.
20 min. is *long* time.

I am sure if someone had stepped up those cowards would have pissed off.
I have stopped a few incidents by showing my mobile saying I have called
the police.
Surprising how fast they pissed off.
I totally agree.
Thank god that those idiots videoed it.

Hope they go to Jail and drop the soap. Would not happen here.
No, they've been doing it to the poor kid for a while, they beat him
pretty good, and they kept it up for 20 mins culminating with hanging
him on the fence. I'm not a fan of bullies.
Really? I never knew that was my title. I more think of myself as
the kid sitting in the back of the room in math class making
wisecracks about the teacher.

All yours, buddy.
The only REAL experts, as far as realising the effects of bullying,
are the victims of bullying. As a victim oft-times in my youth, I can
assure you that in some cases bullying does produce a lifelong effect.
I have learned to manage it...to contol these effects...to some
significant extent. Neverthless these skeletons can still raise their
ugly, UGLY heads at moments of stress and tension. You're dealt the
cards...all you can do is learn the game and play the bestest way you
can...

I leave this sewer to you.
I gave my son the following advice this week about bullies. If he is bigger
than you just hit him in the balls and keep hitting him until someone pulls you
off. I figure it is a bit easier than teaching him how to jump to guard. And
six year olds generally don't have knock out power. : )

I'd hand the 13 year old an iron bar and start explaining to him the finer
points of ambush. I can't stand fucking bullies.

I'm guessing that's a tinfoil hat.

Bugger that I going to send IP 74.173.203.48 and the message to the FBI
Post seems to originate from Atlanta.
credit for the idea BUT i am not sure how effective that is as a
strategy against fellow 6 year olds? do strikes to the testes hurt 6
year olds as much as teens and adults? i don't actually know :(
It's good that ur advising him and communicating with him...i applaud
u.....i could never confide in my dad tho, cos i was ashamed to :(
still, as they say, it's never too late to have a happy
childhood.......i guess :(
shit...those skeletons are peeping up again.
Daniel
Might wanna actually watch the video. They beat on the kid for over
twenty minutes before hanging him on the fence.
Seven kids on one - and a smaller one at that. They absolutely
deserve to have their asses kicked.

Ball shots hurt at any age. They are a timeless classic.

We need to hook that kid up with the water bottle ninja guy and this shit
solves itself.
Fraser
Ordinarily I am all for kids sticking up for themselves and fighting
their own battles; but this case crossed the line. Seven cowards
beating on a kid who was smaller than any one of them, for twenty
minutes, for no reason. And based on what's come out since the
initial report, they've been picking on this kid and others like him
for some time now.
In a perfect world, all seven of them would be taken out back and
beaten until they couldn't stand up anymore. But I'd settle on seeing
them do time.
