So glad the hikers were finally released.
Yay!!!!!! Finally men hikes freed!!!!!!! I am so exciting for them and their family too!!!! 🙂
It sure looks like they are preparing for the worst. I hope the Supreme Court can find something inhumane about what has gone on and find a way to stop it.
Too tragic a price to pay for the boy to get his message across.
My heart goes to Jamey Rodemeyer's family lost one dear...... That was breaking heart for me to hear this, I pledge to stop bullying other people as well.
Mine too, Megan. Such a sad situation
I wish the family much love!
Hindsight or imagining what you would do is easy but I would like to think that if I knew my son or daughter was being emotionally tortured like that, I would remove them immediately from that environment. We see over and over the tragic results of leaving a child in that situation. If the parents know, the parents must take action, drastic action.
Greetings everyone,
Quite a dillemma here with the Troy story. The fact that so many of the witnesses have recanted seem to trigger a need for further investigations – to get the story behind the story – 7 out of 9 is too great a percentage by any measure...
Bullying is real problem we are losing smart future generation some one has to step up must create federal law in the name of Jamey to punish kids who is participating in bullying
Your post brings up a good question. If the bullies are known, can they be prosecuted under the "Hate" law?
Punish their parents as well.
It's sad that this man may be executive for a crime that has so many loop holes involved. I understand that there are legal consequences for any crime that has been committed but please be sure that all the evidence can prove 100% guilty. I feel sorry for the officer's family but honestly how is execution going to change what happened 20 yrs ago? Who gave us the right to take another life? GOD has the last say.
If an innocent one is taken is another one sent in their place?
My thoughts and prayers are with Jamie's family & friends.
Again, it is sincerely disappointing and heartbreaking that another child has committed suicide due to bullying and intolerance. It has to be coming from somewhere, likely the homes these bullies come from.
Tolerance Needs to be a course taught from Kindergarden!
It seems the children that are targeted are those that are unique. Highly intelligent, smaller in size, very sensitive or possibly a different lifestyle.
You are so right Nina. I was bullied for being smart and overweight.
3 yrs. after HS my body bloosomed and my looks totally changed. Of course, because of such severe bullying it took me years to realize that i was attactive.
Today it seems that "gay" or other words pertaining to "gay" are the words of choice to torment kids. It really has to stop, we are losing too many kids.
I thank Anderson & Facebook for their anti-bullying program. It can only help this situation.
I am so sorry to hear that Starr. You are very bright and that intimidated those bullies. Children at that age are so vulnerable and the impact is horrific. Big *Hug* to you, Starr
So tragic that “bullying” continues considering how damaging to the individual’s psyche! So many causes for one to be a bully!
Jamey's story is so heartbreaking. He reached out to help others and then he didn't get through it himself. I'm so sorry for his family, he was an amazing boy.
How about a picture of Davis at the time he was arrested rather than the PR pose they are using. Four trials with the same verdict, this guy is guilty.
So we should kill him? Vengence is best served cold after all these appeals, stays, etc. Maybe capital punishment needs to be abolished nationwide. I don't know what to think anymore, John. As a nation, we should take a stand on this one way or another.
