Mankind loses more points.

I spent a bit of the afternoon browsing the intrawebs today, catching up on some less frequented forums and such (well, being both bored and lazy, basically) and what do I stumble upon? No other thing but a newspost that qualifies as a severe kick to the various sensitive spots of the collective hive of minds called "mankind". Seriously, when I read things like that, I wish I would differentiate from the lot of them by more than just the token genetic variation and mental conditioning.

Man urinates on dying woman, declaring it 'YouTube material'

From the "Annals of Modern Depravity" comes this sordid story:

Shouting, "This is YouTube material!" a 27-year-old British man urinated on a dying woman who had collapsed on the street, the BBC and local Hartepool Mail and Northern Echo tell us. He also doused her with a bucket of water and covered her with shaving cream.

The woman, 50-year-old Christine Lakinski, died at the scene of pancreatic failure.

In a sad sign of the times, it was all recorded on a mobile phone.

In court, Anthony Anderson said he had smoked a joint and been drinking with two friends when they spotted Lakinski. He faces jail after pleading guilty to "outraging public decency." Sentencing is set for Oct. 22.

"We will await the outcome and just hope he gets what he deserves," Lakinski's brother said after today's court hearing.

Alright, really, now. We have one doped-up moron doing that stuff and filming himself on a telephone - or having a friend do that. I won't talk of my opinion on the cretin, that's pretty self-explanatory, I should hope, but... What about the people that witnessed all this? Why has nobody stopped the idiot? It's not like he just spat and ran off. Who are all these people and do I even want to share the same air with them? I feel doubtful. Open their eyes? How? They don't want to see, hear or even smell the truth anymore, not most of mankind anyway. Just hide in your little holes with all the little comfy stuff ya got and be happy none of it concerns you. Oh yeah. Risk your neck for a dying woman while a freak does what he does? Who's stupid enough for that?


Oh, and some guys at the forum went blaming "godless people" about this. Beg pardon, but in the Soviet Union, this sort of thing would be unthinkable. Roots to this are quite elsewhere.


And while at that... Another thing, came to my attention thanks to Mach. Street school kid violence.

Wasn't really going to bring that up, since it was something I grew up with. You either fight, or you run, or you're dropped and kicked - normal rules of living in Turkmenistan. But... We actually had people with cojones that came and broke this up. Adults, of course. But still. And here? Who stops them? Nobody, that's who. Political correctness and fear for our own hides. Disgusting. And where are those kids' parents? Have they ever heard that kids need to be brought up rather than showered with presents and let do anything they like as an instant substitute for parental attention, love and other things that were once considered, erm, important?

  1. There's so many things that anger me about these two stories, I'd take all day to go over them and nobody wants to read that. One of the things that stuck in my mind was that he was only charged with "outraging public decency". That's it? Definitely should have been more serious charges involved.

    And on the second story - parents don't raise kids anymore. They have been "taught" by society that it isn't their fault or responsibility, but the school's. You know, because the school isn't there to actually educate kids, it's to "get them ready for the world". *sigh*

  2. Parents shouldn't be generalized based on this one story.

  3. I'm not - hence the "most" there somewhere. Most folks are just readily dumping their kids to be brought up by the street, the telly and the MTV. And there we have the result.
