Still love that Loose Change was on Osama bin Laden's laptop they recovered from the raid.

Can't remember who posted it but it was something like him going "By Allah I have been framed this whole time!" seconds before the seals burst through the front door.

Child assaults: ‘If the police won’t do their job, we’ll do it for them’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62722082

What does one do as a parent or a friend of a parent for a child who has been beaten up by a group of 5 kids of a similar age by kids who have written an apology but then immediately gone out and done the same thing again to another kid?

Physically the child victim is ok, but mentally they are utterly hosed, life ruining, or at least child hood ruining ptsd I’m guessing. They are in therapy, but, they aren’t the same person anymore. The attackers parents don’t seem to give a poo poo. I’m very upset so I’d like the level headedness of people here to offer up any advice.

All you can do is provide as much support for the child as possible. The outcomes of trauma are best solved by providing positive reinforcement. Obviously the perpetrators going unpunished is negative and will outpace positive by exponential amounts. The way for them to heal would be for the police to take it seriously and punish the perpetrators, either by putting them in juvie, removing parental custody based on them clearly being poo poo enough to raise monsters, etc.

But in the meantime all you can do is let the victim know their feelings are valid and they're not crazy for thinking what happened is hosed. Lovebombing basically.

Unfortunately parents who don't give a poo poo and are actually proud their kid is a bully exist. I overheard a conversation in the street between a teacher from the local comp and a parent whose kid was being bullied (and yes I did lurk nearby pretending to look at jewellery in a shop window to tune in) and the mother was 'what are the school doing about it' and the teacher said 'we've had the parents in and they said they were proud of their kid being a bully because it meant he was getting respect'!

See now this might be my inner authoritarian talking but parents like this should be fined if not imprisoned and certainly have their custody taken away. If you're raising kids to be violent psychopaths you are a loving lunatic and shouldn't be anywhere near kids or polite society.

This seems to be prevalent in societies with less welfare and more inequality. Which IMO is the root cause. Also why it's annoying when old conservatives comaplain about violent youths and vandalism, when they made society that way in the first place by voting conservative.

Yeah, this is why I criticise myself about the inner authoritarian because the solution is a better society rather than just punishing the symptoms and not curing the disease.

Redneck used to be a compliment because it was about the red that all those unions communists wore around their necks, mostly around Appalachia iirc? Now it's just "uneducated country hick" which is a real downgrade imo

I believe it was a red neck because they spent the days working the fields. So basically manual labourers.

I recall that just popularised the phrase amongst my schoolmates.

I definitely seem to recall hearing it at uni. Mind you this was in the same period where a girl I was hanging out with casually talked about how she was going to get "raped" at her next exam and I tilted my head so hard my neck snapped off.

For real Grey does seem legit cool as a person unrelated to her... previous job.

It's kinda wild that there's a bunch of active porn stars who are popular on twitch for completely under-18 level content. Not in a bad way, it's just nice to see a lack of stigma.
