Well folks I thought I had heard it all but this is an all new low.

I am at a loss for words, so I am not even going to try and muster something that would suit this situation but a "sigh" and a thought of total disbelief.

Please send you thoughts of Love and caring to this family, the Mother of this child already died from the same disease.

Meet Kathleen Edward 7 Years Old

Dying 7 Year Old Taunted by Neighbors



TRENTON, Mich. - Her family says 7-year-old Kathleen Edward is in the final stages of a degenerative brain disorder diagnosed as Huntington's Disease - the same disease which killed her mother, Laura, when she was only 24.

Neighbors Jennifer and Scott Petkov, who have been feuding with the family, admitted to posting grim depictions of Laura and Kathleen on Facebook. One photo depicts Laura in the arms of the grim reaper, while the other features Kathleen's face above a set of crossbones.

The couple also have a coffin hitched to a pick-up truck in front of the house, which they say is nothing more than a halloween decoration.

Please visit the link provided for the complete story.

This is what happens when society becomes so patronizing in protecting the guilty and being a litigious nanny state that people become too frightened to do the right thing and just beat the snot out of idiots like this.

This kind of thing used to be avoided simply by the fear of having somebody knock on your door to hand out some instant justice.

Sickening, pathetic, tasteless, and hopefully something that God, if such a thing exists, will take a pound of flesh for.

Karma is a bitch, and these people will get what is coming to them. Take solace in that, everyone.

Thank you!

You think these social networking sites truly help humanity


They disassociate ourselves from each other and take away our ability to empathize and come together at a deep level.

We sit alone, and feel the slightest bits of sympathy, if that, miles away from whomever else we're chatting with.

We've lost our connection to be in communion, as a brotherhood of man.

Personally I think this country has collectively lost it's mind.

I read an above poster who mentioned folks behaviour on the internet, I tend to agree. I 100% support freedom of speech without fail, but the internet has given voice to lunatics who we did not have to hear from in the past. The internet has become some individuals bully pulpit to spew the most vile speech and actions.

God bless her and her family.

edit took out my bully pulpit comments...

I think maybe people have always been insane, but with the internet, you hear about all these insane stories more often. It's the only explanation I have, otherwise people are going insane more and the future does not look bright.

I know violence isn't the answer, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Those people need their arse handed to them.
