In reply to the discussion: Heinous ASL prank moves Drew Carey to donate 10,000 reward for catching pranksters [View all]Voice for Peace
(13,141 posts)72. you're right, it's horrible. I don't think they should be given any kind of a pass.
I posted just after watching the show about Kids for Cash and
the corruption in the private prisons. Teenagers usually have
really crappy judgement. I don't know that jail is the best
way to educate them. I think they're more likely to become
more heinous. I am often surprised at the viciousness that
comes up at times on DU. It isn't the cure. This is no excuse
for their actions or the hurt they caused, but responding
with viciousness as I have seen in places doesn't help at all.
I remember something about who among us hasn't ever
fucked up badly, or caused hurt to another person either out
of stupidity or meanness, can cast the first stone.

No, it is not "feeble" at all. You don't think I judge George Bush on HIS politics?

"Free" has multiple definitions, obviously. He still *chose* to work with ReasonTV...

dumping biohazardous waste on someone is pretty fucking far from being just a prank

I am fine with your suggestion, if it were to turn out that way, and not incarceration.

Yep. Everyone is much of a rush to get things out there that there is no editing.

This is, by FBI definition, a HATE CRIME. Find them, try them as adults, lock them the hell up.

Yes--these aren't "pranksters". They assaulted this kid on the basis of his disability.

Why would anyone refer to this bahavior as a prank. Doesn't seem like a "prank" to me.
