Teenage Beating in Florida - Victoria Lindsay

[DaveL]

I tried Google Earthing Lakelands, Florida. Those urban subdivisions look like scary breeding grounds of despair. But yes, there are lakes!

Honestly, there is a one part of me that knows this is common and the video tape release by Polk County Police has only heightened bad behaviour and anger by others seeking revenge for Tori Lindsay. In effect, their behaviour is no better than those that conducted the beating.

But there is another part of me that says these girls did something extremely callious that outrages me, and their bail conditions are completely justified.

I feel sorry for all of them in one way or another.

instead of 'recruiting' them for war someone should bus these 8 little darlings to south Tucson for a week of rest and relaxation--- let 'em try being a bully there------- my nieces(cousins,half-steps kids,exactly how the heck am I related to your kids anyway?)  would make hamburger out of them.

And of course they are being made out to be victims--- poor, spoiled, crap for humanity. They'll run into someone bigger and meaner than themselves one day. I hope that winds up on youtube.

no I don't have much sympathy for these animals- I was on the receiving end of too much of it growing up to have any human kindness left for them. maybe I should, but right now I don't.

and of course there are now 'copycat' vids appearing---

where are the parents? (oh wait to busy defending the animals)

And what charming adults are these delinquents going to make...

And giving opinions on the lack of family values, decency and patriotism in them godless liberals.

Naturally. What else would they do?


I really do wonder how parents can let their children grow up like that. Parents are supposed to prune behaviors like that off, or redirect the energy into something more useful. How can you NOT see your little girl morph into a monster?

Further proof that most people should not be allowed to become parents until they prove they can provide tender, compassionate care to potted plants.

It's largely the same process as a plant - you can't just ignore them, not provide any input and expect them to flourish.  It takes a minimum bit of attention and tending on a daily basis, and more extensive interaction on at least a weekly basis.  And that's for something without a nervous system!
