When I see stories like this I just want to...
well, let's just say I get so angry inside I can find no words to describe it!
All I can say is, it's good I'm an old woman with disabilities, otherwise I would be out on a "hunting spree" of my own to rid the world of some of the vermin polluting our world.
The things "children" get away with these days leaves me in fear of my children's, and their children's future if things don't change.
Glad I won't be around to see it.
I think it's a matter of how we raise our kids whether there will be someone to carry the fight on when we are gone. I've never been prouder of my son than when he was "in trouble" for thumping the shit out of a kid who was bullying another kid in school, and I got called in for a "discussion" on the matter. The principal was left somewhat less than enthused by my response, but at least she knew where I stood in the matter! More importantly, the bullies knew where my son stood in the matter, and I like to think that made a difference in someone's life.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
