A video of a bunch of verbally abusive middle school bullies making a 68 year old bus monitor cry has gone viral all over the Internet. This video is a perfect example of the social decay that is destroying this nation. We are raising a generation of young people that do not have respect for anyone or anything. In the video, 68 year old Karen Klein is repeatedly called poor, fat, ugly and a whole bunch of other things that I cannot repeat in this space. The bullies refer to "her sweat" and "her flab" over and over throughout the ten minute video. They call her a troll and an elephant and make numerous sexual comments about her. This video is beyond horrifying, but the truth is that this is the kind of thing that happens in classrooms and in school buses all over America every single day. If you have not seen it yet, you have got to see this incredibly disturbing video....
The good news is that a campaign has been started to send Karen Klein on vacation. After dealing with those kids, she sure could use one. The original goal was to raise $5,000, but close to a quarter of a million dollars was raised in less than 24 hours. [$305,000 now]
So perhaps there are still some kind-hearted people out there.
Sadly, this video of kids making a 68 year old bus monitor cry is not an isolated incident. The reality is that America is raising an entire generation of cold-hearted children that lack discipline.
One very interesting recent study found that societies that believe in hell have a lower crime rate than societies that do not. Perhaps if the kids in the video above were made aware that there are serious consequences for treating others very badly they may not behave like that.
The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”

Today's parents are too busy accumulating wealthdebt to care.

Damn, for 300k I'll volunteer to get teased on a bus. :-)
I saw an update on this story tonight and the father of one of the boys was on tv. he said he was very shocked and disappointed in his son. and the news also claimed that someone posted their home address all over the internet and that they were recieving death threats.
my reaction to that was not one of pity but rather, anusement. well, the little degenrate can dish it out, now lets see if he can take it.
the type of person who tries to threaten and taunt weak innocents deserves 10X what they dish out, IMO.

I watched that video of that poor old lady. After watching it, I'm hoping that the police will step in and charge those kids with a hate crime. In fact, those kids might need to an attorney! Shame on those people who sat around and did nothing. And shame on those parents who allow their children to bully like this. It is unacceptable. It is bad enough to hear reports of teachers doing bullying to students (especially handicapped students) but even worse when I see this happening to innocent old people just minding their own business. It is possible that lady may have a handicap.
Did you see this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p...so&feature=watch_response regarding the response from the kid who videotaped the entire bullying? I think the Megan Meier law needs to be expanded in more detail to include victims like this old lady. Criminal charges should be sought after all those involved in this ugly deed.

If kids in my generation had done this and it been found out, even on hearsay, their fathers would have kicked their rosy little asses.
Today's parents are too busy accumulating wealth to care.
Today's parents would be arrested and charged with domestic violence assault, resulting in fines, imprisonment, and permanent loss of the right to bear arms if they laid a hand on their precious little offspring.
And the kids are well aware of that fact.
"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

Depends on many things, but kids today KNOW that if they want they can get away with a LOT more, and push buttons further than they used to be able to.

There are huge stretches of closed stores around. If the rest of the rust/snow belt cities are like that, and I'm hearing that they are, it's not good.
There's a hot new franchise here in Ft. Wayne called "Available". Another real up & comer is "For Lease".

Here in the hills everything is booming, due to the huge new gas field being exploited. We have more new millionaires every day.
New stores, new professional businesses, on and on. The only unemployed are those that will not work.
All the big oil companies and foreign countries are here with billions to spend. They spend millions for land that one could not give away five years ago.
Shell has purchased one property but refuse to say for what reason. Best prospect is for a petro chemical plant.
We use to have one train a week, now we have two or more per day every day, hauling in sand from Utah and water from wherever they can get it.

It was pretty obvious that there were problems here when my last building project accounted for over 3% of the construction activity in Allen Co. (pop. ~330,000). It was basically a 3-car garage (shop 2).
Had one kid show up at the site wanting a job, I think he said he was a steamfitter from Las Vegas. These guys go through the records down at the building dept. and show up on-site, that's why I hate getting permits and never get them in my name. I always use the property owner's name.

Last I heard her retirement fund was topping 380,000 so she is going to have the real last laugh on these kids, and she likely will not have to put herself in a position again where feral kids have the opportunity to taunt her.

With 28 days left she could well go over a million bucks on this as it has become a little bit of a cause célèbre and people going to happy excess. I am guessing that is as much to say, "Fuck You!" to the little punks who made her cry.

Sand here comes from Utah and one other state out west. Just any sand will not do.
Sixty carloads go by here twice a day. The operation goes on 24/7 without stopping. Near me a company is building a recycle plant for what is left after the fracking. It is a multi million dollar operation. It is estimated they will be here at least for seven years, so hard times are not here for a change.
Back to the topic: the really, really sad thing about this elder-abuse is the fact that she has to be doing this sort of work at this stage of her life.

Have the morons in Albany approved any new pipelines, yet?
No.
The gas companies are outfoxing them and taking the long and expensive way around.
They laid a three footer from here to NJ to serve NYC.
Then they are using an existing right away from years ago to paralell an old line from here to Niagara Falls, to Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, then north into Mass to Boston.
