Bully Pranksters nominate girl for homecoming queen and get their comeuppance (+vdeo)

70. Bullshit.

You didn't make a general statement; you made a callous one:

Gotta Love America

Where when bad things happen to you that get publicity you're showered with money as if you deserve it.

The compassion shown to the girl was justly deserved. If the pranksters' intent was to humiliate & to destroy the victim's self esteem, the community refused to let that happen & the pranksters lost.

In the bus monitor's case, her tormentors on the bus filmed their own bullying behavior -- which included calling her names based on her appearance & referring to her as "poor" -- thinking that their friends & fellow classmates would get a kick out of it. Instead, it backfired on the bullies. That's sweet revenge. She's no longer poor.

I read attitudes like yours on other websites that include political views of all stripes; I detest seeing it on DU. Your rationalization doesn't cut it here.
