I still say these little turds should be sentenced (6mo - 12mo) to home detention when not in school, along with volunteer work (e.g., reading to Seniors, engaging them in conversation, playing games with them, etc...),on Saturdays and Sundays in adult daycare/nursing home settings.

They tormented this woman in person so they need to face her and apologize! These bubble-warped monsters need to learn the meaning of the word Shame. They have brought shame upon themselves and their families. |

| ElusivePisces User ID: 11156436 United States06/23/2012 11:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Apologize my ass, just because they are getting hated by a huge internet crowd now/got caught, I bet they don´t regret one fucking bit but are only angry because they got filmed and uploaded, little worthless pieces of shit, GOOTFGP= Get out of the fucking gene pool! Quoting: Trickster It makes me sad to say this, but I totally agree with all that you said here. After watching that video I can't believe that those boys are really sorry for what they did. It's the social pressure that made them apologize. I doubt that they really mean it. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 18407033 United Kingdom06/23/2012 12:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bullied Bus Monitor: Boys Apologize, Public Donates $500,000 Quoting: abhie (click on the link and wait, the video will load) [link to abcnews.go.com] June 22, 2012 The online fundraising campaign to send the bullied upstate New York bus monitor Karen Klein on vacation might now let her do something else: retire. Klein, 68, got national attention after a video of middle school boys in Greece, N.Y., lobbing brutal insults at her on a school bus went viral on the Internet Tuesday. By Friday afternoon, the campaign had sailed above its $5,000 goal — to nearly $550,000. In the days since the video incited outrage and sympathy in equal measure, two of the four boys in the video have come forward to apologize. In statements released through the Greece Police Department — in which their full names are redacted for their protection after numerous death threats — the boys, named Wesley and Josh, expressed shame at their actions. "I am so sorry for the way I treated you," Josh wrote. "When I saw the video I was disgusted and could not believe I did that. I am sorry for being so mean and I will never treat anyone this way again." She should have kicked their punk asses! That's what the school-bus driver lady in South Park would have done, and quite right too! |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 18407033 United Kingdom06/23/2012 12:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow! Josh evolved in a positive direction from that! Thats great, comforting news! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14110447 Amazing how effective social shaming can be as a behavioral deterrant. Maybe we should start a campaign to socially shame and shun the bankers and the elite... The epic sci-fi author and Libertarian, Robert Heinlein, envisaged a planetary society based on MYOB (mind yer own business), and sending people to "Coventry" for being dicks.  |
