8 Year Old boy Kills Small Dog... With a BBQ Fork...

[oktalist]

There is a hell of a lot of assumption going on in this thread, with people inventing "facts" that were not mentioned by the source. None of us has enough information about the incident to make a snap judgement.

OT: maybe this is a good time to change the name of the thread to: "how to best torture someone" instead of the original one... I don't feel save here anymore

...How did the kid get access to the BBQ fork and where were the parents? I really hope child protective services or someone take the kid to some kind of therapist. I mean, he should know that killing is wrong, I mean he might be 8, but kids tend to know at 8 that killing is wrong, at 8 he should be developing a moral compass.

I'm reminded of the beginning of the halloween remake were the mothers shown a load of pictures of cats and dogs Michael has murdered. What a cruel little prick.

EDIT: Also mental illness is an actual illness. You wouldn't kill someone with rickets or the flu, why kill someone who's mentally ill?

Firstly, you can't assume that because people are suggesting euthanization of a person who may happen to be mentally ill, that they are advocating this for all mentally ill people

Secondly people with rickets are not a danger to others (Gimme the money, or I'll break my bones in your general direction). People with the flu are generally only a danger to the very old and very young. (So yea, i would advocate death for somebody purposely introducing Flu to at risk groups). People who derive joy from extinguishing life ARE a danger to others.

Well... I hope he gets called dog stabber at school and ridiculed everyday by his peers until college. At least then he'll have a good reason to go on the path of his future career; serial killer.

Seriously, kids aren't retards, they know that killing something is wrong! Either the parents have some serious moral issues and haven't bothered teaching their kid that or that little bastard is really fucked up.

I think that it's a dog so I don't really care.

Yeah! Who cares about the fact that killing is generally bad! It's a dog! So let's kill them all! Yeah! I'll gather up the pitchforks, you get the torches! Let's go dog hunting!

Yeah sure, and 8 year old getting a clean slate for doggy murder... I'd be afraid to sleep in the same house as the little brat knowing what he's capable of.

Notice that they say the dog was beaten to death, not stabbed. This means the kid had to continuously smack the puppy around till it died... Yet the kid goes free without any mental evaluation at the very least... Huh...

Anyone who lives in or around that surrounding area, bring your pets indoors and lock all your windows and doors till this beast is out of college!! This makes me sick...

So certain things should be cast aside without care, just because there are other things that need caring about too? This is something that really needs caring about for two reasons,

1) An innocent animal was killed in a pretty fucking horrid way, how would you like that to happen to you?

2) If he stays on this path, eventually he'll kill something that you do give a shit about. Maybe then it can fall into your 'shit happening to humans' category.

You have to admit, your original post came across as part uncaring/part stupid/part immature. There's only so long immaturity can be used as an excuse for being a dick............eventually you'll just be a dick.

No high horse required here, merely a serious intolerance to idiocy.

AFTER SMOKE-BREAK EDIT: I may come across as harsh, but here are over 6 billion people on this planet, plenty to give a shit abut everything. Animal cruelty is my short fuse thing, apologies if you took offense!

1. The fact is that it was an animal the boy killed. That's why I'm not bothered. If it was a human I'd be more upset. Of course there is a difference when it comes to caring. I'm not an animal lover and am therefore not affected by their welfare or whatever.

2. Wait, I used to freeze my goldfish to death when I was his age. Does this mean I'm going to be a serial killer too? That logic makes no sense. He could possibly grow up to be indifferent to animals such as myself! At that age you don't understand consequences. That child didn't necessarily believe that what he did to that dog would kill it.

My original post came across as uncaring because I truly do not care. I wouldn't go out of my way to stab dogs but when I hear of it happening it literally has no effect on me. If that makes me a bad person then fine, I'm a bad person. I'm pretty much a dick yeah, but don't tell me I'm an idiot just because I don't have the same morals as you. That's true idiocy.

Ooooh come the fuck on! You make snap judgements between species too! You wouldn't hesitate to smack a spider to death but oh noooo it's a doooog you totally can't kill dogs! It's so different! Slightly hypocritical that.

Nah mate, I don't wanna kill dogs, you can do that yourself. All I'm saying is that when a dog does die, I'm not gonna waste time crying about it.

He's a kid, blame his upbringing. Why did he do it? Solve the problem now and he won't become a psychopath later. To lock him up now would only traumatize him and cause him into being antisocial and his psychical problem would never be resolved, if there is one now.

 

[sam13lfc]

Tie him up, BBQ fork him.

 

[Darzen]

little kid is a psycho.i say kill him.one less killer in the world later on

This should have been the first and last post in this thread.

theres a bunch of people like "oh he is a little chiddler, he doesn't know the value of life"

Gotta call you on that one. If you don't know that killing people/animals is bad by the time your FUCKING 8, then you either have the shitiest parents in a 15 parsec radius, or your a little ***** who deserves to be put on a leash on stabbed to death with a fork of appropriate ratio to the one that killed the dog.

OT: I do dislike me some little yippy annoying dogs, but come on. maybe if he was attacked, but even then, not like one of those things could hurt you.

We've covered that , go read the thread.

OK, read it and what I've discovered
1. It is entirely possible that something is seriously fucked up in this boys life that makes him want to kill a dog. possible being the key word here.
2. assuming that #1 is true, something must be seriously wrong with society around this lad. you don't go from being seen as normal to killing dogs, so either he was fucked up for some time and nobody did anything about it, or #1 is wrong.
3. You said that you've covered this, but basically all you've done is keep defending the boy because he is 8. I guess we can't say that for sure he isnt just a little *****, but based on other 8 year olds, it is the assumption to make

This probably better represents anything that I could post myself.

 

[Brandon237]

He should have his arse beaten until it bleeds. If he had murdered my toy pom, Circle, They would lay charges against me for child murder... that kid is sick, I say child labour camp for him.

 

[TAGM]

I'm about as worried about the fact that he apparantly BEAT the dog to death. By that wording, it sounds like he was clubing the dog.
With a sharp object.
... Just lock him in a metal room with a box of matches, see how long it takes him to burn his eyes out.
