A Verdict in the Slenderman Case

A just verdict.  I applaud the jury for ignoring the hysterical lynching mentality of our society.

More on Slenderman

Re-watching the 20/20 on the Slenderman case and growing more and more annoyed at the media. Junie - who is SEVEN - watched it and called the girls idiots for believing in a "make believe" character. He has no facial features and f*ing tentacles and lives in a mansion in the woods; c'mon! These kids weren't suckered by a character's portrayal, they were mentally ill or radically dumb.  #wishIdcreateacharacterasremotelyinterestingasSlendermanbeforeIleavethisearth

My Thoughts on the Slenderman Case

Controversial opinion of the day: As horrific as their actions were, I don't think the two 12 year old's who stabbed their friend should be imprisoned for the rest of their lives. 

 A - they are twelve. Not 30, not 20, not 17 - TWELVE. At 65 should they be still be paying for what they did at the onset of puberty? No.

 B - the victim did not die (thank God). She's already been released from the hospital. 

 C - if you seriously, honestly, are so young and naïve that you can't tell the difference between make believe and reality, then you don't have the mental capacity to warrant being charged as an adult. Plain and simple.

 Fire away folks. The most valuable diversity is that of thought, so feel free to speak your mind. That said, I'm right and you're wrong 😉

TV News is a Joke

From JSOnline's Duane Dudek, commenting on the Slenderman story:

"The crime was "graphic, disturbing and hard to believe," said Meekins, as a WTMJ onscreen headline screamed "Slumber Party Stabbing" and later "Plot to Kill." Reporter Jermont Terry practically leaped off the screen describing the crime and sat on a bicycle while reporting that the victim was discovered by a bicyclist. WISN reporter Christina Palladino prefaced her report by noting "the people I talked to literally have no words" and then interviewed people who used words to speak on camera."
