Poll: Should I have done something?

[Drexlor]

I probably would have laughed a bit, then helped him.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

That story made me laugh so I am probably a bad person xD

Since there were a bunch of smaller kids attacking the bigger one though, I can only assume that the older kid was a local bully. It's messed up to laugh [it is! I know I'm wrong for laughing too but still] but maybe the kid had it coming. Best not to get involved.

 

[Saitken]

The kid was skateboarding. He was bound to get hurt in some kind of embarrassing way anyway.

 

[Zeromaeus]

Yes. Of course it easy to take the high ground because I wasn't there.
What you you should have done was go outside and chase the kids off.

Then at least an "Are you okay?"
...
...
...
...
Busta Woooof!

When is the last time a US soldier took a bullet for his country? WW2? Beyond that they take bullets for their own stupidity. I already made the distinction between real "fight to defend our country" soldiers and the idiots who sign up just to get involved with shit that does not concern their country.
A few mishaps? When one of your "mishaps" is putting Saddam in power in the first place then yeah, I am gonna make a big deal of it. Yanks make a big deal about the wholetwin tower thing yet we are expected to write off the US military bombing afghanistan hospitals as a "mishap"
Besides, janitors just do one of the most degrading, under paid, thankless and important jobs around. Without janitors hospitals would be disease centers. Whens the last time you called him a hero or even thanked him?
And goddamn everything from cops to construction workers to truckers dont know if they are gonna come home tonight. There are plenty of hazardous jobs out there. Soldiering is just one more of them.
You should be ashamed for being so goddamn thankless to the true unsung heroes who actually make your life fucking livable.

You realize people sign up for reasons other than "to get involved with shit that does not concern their country?" I'm not condoning what the U.S. does or what SOME soldiers do and I certainly don't think they are all special or heroes, but some of them definitely are. SOME of them are doctors, you know? Some are janitors, even. Some are teachers and everything else under the sun. Hating on an entire group of people because of the actions of a few is the definition of prejudice. Not ALL soldiers blow up hospitals, after all. This is all coming from a former U.S. Army soldier, by the way. I got out because I didn't agree with some of the things they asked me, but that doesn't call for the irrational hatred of an entire group of people.

I mean, I bet at least one janitor is a child molester, right?

Edit: I think the kid probably deserved it or those were actually midgets. Either way, hilarious.

Ok, seriously? So off topic. Fucking flaming.

Anyhoosle....

OT: I abstained from voting because you didn't include the third option "Yes you should do something and that's so funny."

But maybe I'm being unfair since I just spent my morning getting the shit kicked out of me by 5-year-olds while supervising bible camp. Someone else should get dirt in the mouth from a clingy little psycho.

 

[wkrepelin]

If your story is true then you may not be a bad person but you would seem to lack empathy and initiative and, hence, were behaving like a bad person.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Honestly, if someone around 12-years-old gets beat up by a mob of 5-year-olds, I'd laugh too. He probably deserved it in that case.

That is what I was going to say...Seriously? At 12 years old, he can't take on a few 5 year olds?

 

[Zackary Yakumo]

Pull ou the shotgun, open the door and aim it at those little punkass kids. I dont care how old the kid is, kids shouldnt pick on other kids.

 

[TheIr0nMike]

Yes, you are a horrible person. Saying that, if I saw that, I would have laughed my ass off too, probably would have tried to film it.

 

[ultrachicken]

I'm sorry, but how is that funny in the slightest?
Yes, you should have helped the kid, although I don't believe it actually happened.

 

[Brad Shepard]

Ill admit, you wouldent see that every day, a 12 year old getting jumped by a group of 5 year olds, How bad is your neighborhood that this happened?

 

[Aesir23]

A bunch of 5 year olds went out and beat up a 12 year old? I'm calling shenanigans.

But if it did really happen, then YES, you should have gone out and done something to help the kid. Also, if that did actually happen, I fail to see how watching a kid get beaten up is funny at all. That kind of behaviour is just disgusting. Both theirs and yours.

 

[DSEZ]

if true thats hilarious im going to hell anyway

 

[SovietSecrets]

Thats waaaay brutal if it actually happened. You should have helped after the beating and laughter.

 

[Jfswift]

I get the feeling this is a repost from somewhere, but if this is real, you should have done something. I'm not saying you have to but.. I think the world's a mess because no one gets involved in anything anymore.

 

[JackRyan64]

I don't think it would be nearly as hilarious if you didn't describe it as "kicking the shit out of him".

As funny as it is, you probably should've helped him.

 

[asinann]

Funny as hell if it actually happened, but you should have stopped it.
