Watch the video, it's disgusting.

It's weird. I don't exactly support the death penalty for bigger crimes, but for things like this...I kinda do. Maybe it's because I feel that those who commit muder etc are likely going to do some serious time, as opposed to assholes that do things like in the video above who will hardly even be punished.

Do not worry a person like that will get exactly what he deserves one day. He wont be able to help himself from being a thug and sooner or later. ... Well he'd better not drop the soap in the shower.

Victim speaks out to the attacker and bystanders.
Disgraceful.

Figures that MSNBC and CNN aired the video of the beating constantly. After they played the VT massacre kid's tirade nonstop I guess nothing's sacred.

Who knows, maybe they'll start showing snuff films next! images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Cant watch it. I just cant. I will cry like a little girl. Seriously.

Maybe I am in the wrong, but I hold my elders in high regard and respect.

[rant]
You know, maybe if there were more MEN,(more fathers perhaps?) in these young mens lives, they would know right from wrong. Adolesent boys need good male role models, period. It has been proven over and over and over and over. Maybe I am wrong in this evaluation of morals, perhaps the asshole who beat up a senior citizen is part of what I call "the 1% of society".

But I do not think I am incorrect. And others who are reading this, "progressive" folks that you are, deep in your heart of hearts, will agree with me.

Nothing wrong with role models. I second your rant.

If I see some asshole beat up a anyone, I will intervene. If I see someone beating an elderly person, I will kick them in the head. For the love of God.
