Ohio Shitbucket Outrage
 
This story out of a northern Ohio town is getting big reaction.

http://www.cleveland.com/bay-village...f_calls_1.html

Basically, it's a case of harrassment/abuse toward a special-needs student. An autistic kid is tricked into dumping what he thinks is one of the 'icewater for charity' buckets on his head. Contents were not ice water.

The perps, when identified, should do 90 days or so in the county jail. Then, to get probation, there should be a little event at the school auditorium, with the student body watching as, one by one, they dump buckets on their own heads.

But not of human waste, as some have suggested. That would be cruel and dangerous to their health. I'm thinking bean soup. The public humiliation is the main idea.

I think public humiliation can be a great tool of justice. We should use it more.

Another example--heard of case of kid bouncing air rifle pellets 'near' pedestrians going by. Never hit anyone. Went to jail. I'd have gone for less jail, and a little ceremony in the street there, where he got to hacksaw his air rifle in half....

Justice done, and seen to be done.

I don't see how making the perpetrators dump something on their own heads would be very productive.

Maybe some volunteer work with those less fortunate than themselves.

When I was a kid, I had a good friend who was autistic. The other kids in the 'hood liked to pick on him, get him upset. Until someone started bloodying their noses for it.:rolleyes: That kind of sucked the fun right out of it for the bullies.:p

My thinking is of them being buried up to their chins in a septic tank with a bucket of maggots dropped on their heads.

Or, maybe we could give them each a hundred paper cuts and toss them in a pond full of piranha? If they're quick, they can escape with their lives.

I think a track record of cruelty to someone 'less fortunate than themselves' disqualifies them for the 'work in a hospital or nursing home' idea.

The idea behind the 'bucket of soup' is to engender empathy by putting them in their victim's place, while letting them experience the community's disapproval is a tangible way.

I haven't been able to think of anything bad enough for these little shits, but you've come the closest so far.

This reaction is, of course, why a thing like this is called an 'outrage.'

What better way to teach bullies not to be bullies than to bully them. 😏
