Okay, I heard about the Autistic kid, duped ...

into participating in a fake ALS Challenge and had urine and feces dumped on him?

Well, I saw an article on it in my former home town daily rag. The police have identified suspects and are proceeding.

Now, in reading the article, I noticed that there were 320+ comments ... so I made the mistake of reading some.

Suffice it to say, Greater Cleveland has some really, really, unfeeling, sick bastards running around the internutz.

1. It would be fascinating

to have people think they're anonymous when commenting on articles and then pulling a Faux news ambush interview on them as they're getting out of their cars at work.

2. I imagine a lot of them are from juveniles

who thought it was funny, "what's the big deal?"

Empathy has to be taught and I'm afraid a lot of parents out there seriously dropped the ball.

We can hope they grow up a little better than they are as juveniles. The alternative is building more prisons.

I've followed several of the posters. They all claim to be of age and employed, and based on their previous comments, are ardent teapartiers (no surprise there).

4. Ugh, I know those are out there

and spend their days and parts of their nights sitting online just to they can spew venom at any newspaper story covering "sin" that they themselves haven't been tempted to commit.

5. As I mentioned ...

I've followed these posters. The venom REALLY comes out following ANY article of a shooting in ANY Black neighborhood in Cleveland.
