Without the outrage, the local authorities wouldn't have done shit. Not to mention that animal cruelty charges are often minor and result in no punishment, especially for children.

As for his parents, that's part of being a parent. We are held to be responsible for our kids actions. Fair or not, that's the duty you take on as a parent.

And you forget that it's not like someone walked into his backyard and caught him doing this in private. This is a kid who posted the video on YouTube in an attempt to brag and show off. He is the one that thought animal cruelty was funny. When you post something online in public, don't get upset when people see it and have opinions on it.

Hey, I admit it was not only a stupid thing to do, it was VERY stupid. I am in no way defending this kid and I am glad he got caught and hope he gets punished for his stupidity.

However, the kid's been caught. His parents will surely know, along with his school and the appropriate officials. You don't think people calling for his head and making websites to immortalize his childish stupidity might be going just a little bit too far?

God forbid any of your children ever do anything wrong and end up at end of a virtual lynch mobs comprised of cowards and losers like Dark Jedi. You'll surely understand the point then.

I agree. Most kids though don't abuse a cat and film it. Then put it on YouTube. The kids that usually do shit like this are the ones that don't get the ass beating they need at home. To many parents just let their kids do what they want.

Retribution...

Warchild, I get what you mean now. When I said the parent should be humiliated now, I meant they should probably feel very humiliated right now. I know I'd be. I can't even imagine having to sit and think up a punishment for such a thing. I didn't mean the parents should be humiliated by others. They already are, I'm sure.

Jeffery Dahmer abused and tortured animals before he started doing it to humans. He lived with his grandmother. I forget what the situation was there. When I started reading the book years ago, my cousin borrowed it and never gave it back. But that guy was fucking psycho at a very early age. No idea if it was his environment or just some sort of major imbalance.

It pains me to think of what the kid has already done up to this point. The cat really didn't seem that surprised or freaked out. He just cowarded down and almost seemed like he was used to it. That's just my take from watching the vid though. Who knows?

I agree that the reprucussions of 4chan will far outdo what was necessary in the first place. He will never live this down.

Me and my daughter are both following this and she sees how fast this blew up. She completely understands if she ever fucks up in a major way, she had better not do it on the internet. The end result may be much more than what would normally be expected.

I found it amusing how the news station found it necessary to state that they have had more visitors to their website than ever before. Funny stuff.

put google adsense ads on it

Or they might be getting too much ass beatings. It's hard to say.

When I first saw all of this, I somewhat agreed with you. But the more I think about it - no.

The kid made several videos of doing this, over a longer period of time. That's not just childish stupidity, it's taking pleasure in premeditated cruelty. A clear sign of a severely fucked up mind.

The kid belongs in a closed mental institution :2 cents:

"Their son beat up a cat on the internet, and now the internet is beating up their parents, tonight on CNN"

Possibly. Either way the kid is 13, he knows better than to do that.

nah, thats bullshit

i'm not in it for the money.

There is a difference in stupid and mentally deranged. Stealing a pack of cigarettes as a kid is stupid. Torturing a cat and posting it on YouTube is fucking deranged. I don't see a problem with someone chastising and embarrassing someone who is deranged. Maybe this will ring a bell in his parents head to get this kid some serious mental health or do us all a favor and smother him when he's sleeping.

don't do it. the end.

So far #4 for Kenny Glenn

Maybe this will also ring a bell for other kids who have cats at home and abuse them. Maybe seeing how one kid got beat by the internet will prevent other cruelty from taking place. Laws are not strict enough to adequately punish animal abusers. Perhaps internet can humiliate the fuck out of them as retribution and inability of law enforcement to do much about it.

I wholeheartedly support whatever is coming to this kid.

Omfg http://www.trinkerheim.com/?p=221 was on google. I didn't see this one! The second half of it was the vid we already seen. God knows how many times this dude has done this, whoa. Does anyone know how many of these were on his youtube account?

Grrr :mad:

"dusty the cat" is currently showing as #74 on Google Trends

Trends shuffled around again...

#48 kenny glenn cat abuse

Sick sick kid. I really hope he gets some help! I think everyone deserve a second chance but only after he gets therapy and lots of help and respects animals. They should make him volunteer and do tons of community service. I wonder if changing is possible. He's a really young kid. He needs to get mental help. Bad. I hope that cat never has to go back into that home.

4chan trolls love to post that zippo kitty photo series all the time too. Sick :(

4chan encourages these idiots to do things like this by giving them recognition for it. :2 cents:

Eh.... no, it doesn't. Posting animal abuse is one of the few ways to actually troll /b/. It doesn't result in positive recognition, but in anger.

What if it was a turtle being abused, would you guys be just as mad?

Just asking a question here.

I am just speechless and have the chills down my spine.
Dusty deserves a better home and family to be with.

Stop him now before he becomes a real psychopath and starts murdering humans!

"Virtually every serious violent offender has a history of animal abuse in their past, and since there's no way to know which animal abuser is going to continue on to commit violent human crimes, they should ALL be taken that seriously. FBI Supervisory Special Agent Allen Brantley was quoted as saying "Animal cruelty... is not a harmless venting of emotion in a healthy individual; this is a warning sign..." It should be looked at as exactly that. Its a clear indicator of psychological issues that can and often DO lead to more violent human crimes."

I agree. It seems like some people were just chomping at the bit to vent!
wtf will bashing and persecuting the 13 year old do? maybe he would end up hating the world because he felt unjustifiably persecuted (a little like the cat) .... like we really need more people who hate society and the world!!!

the last adult I saw attack a child spent a few painful months in hospital. what he did to the cat is NO excuse for any of you to abuse a 13 year old boy ..... :2 cents:

Thing things you have to put into perspective are:

#1 - Animal cruelty is a firmly established precursor to human abuse and physical abuse crimes. See FBI quote above.

#2 - The video and the acts were all premeditated. That kid spent time and effort plotting what you see.

#3 - Naturally, this case has had more attention that other abuse cases, but that's again his own fault: He published the video in search of attention, and he's got it.

There is absolutely no doubt that he deserves everything that comes his direction.

I agree and im as agaisnt animal cruelty as anyone else, we own around 10 animals including 3 horses and if anyone abused them i would be livid but i dont think this kids life needs to be ruined over this.

If this was a grown man doing this then fair play, but a 13 year old kid? Theres a thread on here about a 13 year old guy who just became a father and everyone is saying how he is so young, he couldnt possibly be responsible and know what he was doing. The same applys here, he is only 13. I like most here probably used to put salt on slugs, mix red ants with black ants and watch them fight and all that sort of stuff with insects. Its comparable imo.

Get real, every heroin and crack addicts profile includes smoking cannabis at school does that mean everyone who smoked herb is going to be a crack head?

i dont give a fuck what kind of reptile/animal it was...yes i would fuck shit up regardless..unless it was an insect:winkwink:

Poor kitty...I would be very happy to see it scratching this idiot until he dies!!!

I couldn't even watch the whole video. This kid obviously needs some kind of mental help. He covered his face, which clearly shows he knew what he was doing was wrong, but still posted this video in hopes of what kind of response?

This has hit the sun news over here

Funny there are people trying to defend the boy. The little shit got what he deserved.

This will be a good warning for people who were considering doing the same stupid shit.

You are in the wrong thread fuck face. Go to hell!

Pipe down, goat fucker. We're full up on morons already.

There is a difference between becoming a father at 13 and abusing an animal. Kids at that age are curious about sex and that is normal. 13 is way to young to be a father because you can not afford a baby and you have no idea how to take care of one. Choking and hitting a cat is not a normal thing to do at the age of 13. By that age you know better than to abuse animals. There are 13 year olds that are tried as adults for murder. I do not think his life should be ruined, but he does need some counseling. His actions are not normal.

This will make more people abuse animals. Just like when a suicide gets press attention, do you know what happens? There is a spike in suicides over the following weeks.

Anyway you said it yourself "the little shit", that is exactly what he is a 13 year old little shit. Not deserving to have his life potentially ruined because he beat up a cat.

Has that kid got buttfucked yet or what?

Animal abuse is evil and awful, but doesn't GFY have a rule about posting personal information like phone numbers, etc?
