Brats and Heroes

So today I’m in the gym reading my trusty old People magazine (yes I know, reading does not make for the best workout, but I think I should get points for even making it into a gym on a Saturday!) Two stories stuck out in my head. These stories were printed back to back. I found this ironic. The first story inspired seething hatred the second restored my faith in humanity! I wonder if the editor did this on purpose

The Bad

Ok the first story was about a group of girls who lured another girl to a home and beat her up. As if this was not reprehensible enough these littles bitches taped the whole thing and posted it on YouTube. This bothers me for many reasons.

1. Not only are these girl eveil (not just evil, Eveil–like the fruits of the deveil) they are pretty stupid also. What kind of dumb high school brat tapes a crime and then posts it on the Internet! Hey bitches, you just gave the prosecutor all the evidence he needs to put your spoilt ass away!

2. A father of one of the assailants says his child should not be prosecuted because on the tape she can be heard whispering “let her run away”..Tough shit Daddy, maybe next time you will instill some morals or at the very least a basic understanding of right and wrong. Asshole.

3. Pretty much all of the parents of the assailants are quoted saying “They are just kids”..Well it seems to me that beating a girl into unconsciousness while laughing is a pretty grown up thing to do. Lock em up, I say!

4. What is wrong with kids? I teach pre-schoolers and have had to stop little girls from making fun of other girls because of their clothing and had to pull a pair of three years olds apart because they were making out!! What has happened!! If I had even tried to pull any of the crap these brats try today my mom would have unleashed on me. And for that I thank her!

5. I really think all kids should wear uniforms. I did, for 12 years. No one ever got made fun of for clothes, we had to be more creative in order to torture other kids. At least we were original.

6. I firmly believe these bitches brats stupid whoresgirls should be made an example of. If these girls are let off with a warning this kind of behavior is going to run rampant. These girls need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Harsh you say? Well look, if they thought this was hilarious and cool what will they do when they get away with it? And what about all the publicity? Can’t turn back now folks, it will look like we are condoning this kind of behavior.

The Good

 

Ok on to the good stuff. The second story I read was about a NINETY yes, 90 year old man. He is apparently one of those mall walkers, which means he gets his daily exercise by doing laps around the mall. Which I think is the cutest thing I have ever heard.

So this old (90) year old man is coming up the escalator last week. He sees a little girl about to fall over the side. (where was mom? Why was she even allowed to be on the escalator alone?) So this, did I mention he was 90?, man RUNS up the escalator and grabs the child before she goes over! He saved her life! Talk about quick action!

 I’m not sure I would react that fast now, let alone in 60 years! This man is the complete opposite of those bratty girls. He represents goodness if you ask me!

oh yeah..he was 90 by the way!!!
