Maybe a Beating IS Called For
Leonard Pitts commentary this week on Megan Meier and the cruel joke that caused her to commit suicide got me to thinking…especially when he said the following about the perpetrators (the parents of an ex-friend of Megan’s) “So no, I don’t want these folks hurt, I want them healthy. I want them long-lived. And I want them to be reminded, every day of their long healthy lives, what a great joke they pulled.”
Actually, I think that maybe a beating is called for in this situation.
I think someone should take Curt and Lori Drew down to the local square and beat the holy friggin snot out of both of them in front of the entire town. It should be broadcast on TV, radio, YouTube, and anywhere else you can think of. I want their screams of agony and pleas for mercy on I-Pods worldwide. Then, I wonder if anyone else with such a bright idea would think twice about doing something so cruel, yet so legal…
Remember when that American shithead in Singapore got in trouble and was “caned” for vandalism? What was the first thing you thought? “Damn! Don’t be pulling shit in Singapore! They’ll whip your ass!”
Remember when people here in America called the punishment and the authorities in Singapore doling it out “barbaric?” Hmmm. I wonder if the same term should be used for the actions of Curt and Lori Drew of Dardenne Prairie, Missouri? Then again, even barbarians have some sense of pride and fair play. You kill and conquer…no need to humiliate young children in the process.
I want retribution for Megan Meier. I want these people to suffer some real pain; not just Leonard Pitts ethereal fussy-pussy eternal emotional pain. I want scars as reminders… The Drews will disappear and live their lives somewhere else as soon as our ADD society forgets about Megan Meier (which I figure will be sometime on Tuesday). Unless we take the Drews to the woodshed, so people will always remember.
Cause you never forgot that kid in Singapore, did you?

Yeah, no kidding, I have not forgotten the kid in Singapore. AND although I felt a “little” sorry for the pain that the kid suffered, I was sure that his “moral integrity meter” needed bolstering that would be accomplished only through this pain. Message sent and received loud and clear!
Now I think Curt Drew has been cleared of wrong doing on the basis that he doesn’t know how to use a computer. Lori Drew is receiving a wrath from the public, that in my opinion, is outstanding!! People are hacking into her computer and cell phone, throwing bricks through her windows, etc. It is like this…even in prison there is a moral code (you don’t rape children or beat your mamma). Even though Lori Drew will not be prosecuted for her heinous acts, she will be punished. People are not going to tolerate that brand of stupidity because people still recognize that our young people need to be protected, now more than ever. A public flogging of Lori Drew would only be an added bonus.
