Feeling rage at their self pity.

[svcw]

Oh, poor babies. Well how does it feel to be bullied.

[VampireStateNY]

I love the smell of irony in the morning.

“. . . has got to stop.” His client is doomed. Never have an illiterate in the role of your criminal defense lawyer.

Tough. My family went through this same thing for 4 years. It changed everything. I have no sympathy.

[Secret Agent Man]

When the lawyer was asked exactly why the death threats needed to be stopped, he said:

“Well, c’mon now, do you know how hard it is to get payment from a dead client?”

[Jukeman]

Maybe someone should send her enough rope to ease her pain.

[Hexenhammer]

has to stop, huh? nah, I don’t think so.

[Tex-Con-Man]

Gee I wonder if any of theses lil’ darlins’ are starting to feel suicidal from all the bullying...sucks when that stuff comes back 100 fold.

[handmade]

I’d say it got way out of control before the girl killed herself.

[Rembrandt]

I don’t understand why they’re so shocked...what goes around... If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime!

[Saundra Duffy]

“public harassment has got to stop,”

Ironic isn’t it?

[greeneyes]

Two wrongs don’t make a right. While I do not condone death threats, I also feel no sympathy for these teenage jerks.

Let this be a lesson to them: you reap what you sow. They should repent their sin, and live by the Golden Rule going forward. May God have mercy on their souls, cause I don’t think the jury will.

[Darkwolf377]

Expensive lesson. I wonder if while they're blubbering in their self-pity they're thinking "This is what we made her feel."

Maybe they are, maybe they're not. But to me this isn't about legislation, but teachers and parents and fellow students not having the balls to step up and say "This isn't right, stop it." We now need legislation to TELL us how to properly act when someone is being mistreated.

This is the legacy of FDR. Before him, people took care of their neighbors, looked out for each other. Since him, "It's the government's job" is the response to all ills.

And frankly, males are being raised to be ashamed they have a pair, or, alternately, to think that bullying a GIRl is somehow appropriate behavior for a guy.

I have a girl in my 4th grade class whose mom did drugs while she was pregnant. There are marked physical effects on this girl, as well as cognitive and behavioral issues. When she first came into my class, a couple of kids took it upon themselves to ignore her, call her names, and whatnot. At the first incident, I made it known that such things were not to be done, were not going to be tolerated, and would be dealt with severely. That was 6 mos. ago. Since then this girl has gotten to the point that she not only has friends, but has grown in confidence, both with her peers and with various subject matter. Now if I can just get her to skip lines when she writes.....

That being said, I was bullied in the 6th grade. It was racial. The teacher was black, the kids were black, I was white (still am, for some reason), and it was a miserable situation. I hated school for the first time in my life, and I had no kind of recourse to deal with what was going on. When my parents confronted the teacher, she accused me of lying and of blowing the situation out of proportion. It was six months of torture. These jerks who bullied Miss Prince did so mercilessly, at every opportunity. Everywhere she turned, there they were, talking trash or threatening her, every day. I hope they feel what she felt, and that it goes on until they repent of the evil they did to that girl. Payback's a b*tch, and there's a lot in the bank for them.

The lawyer for Valezquez says “public opinion will change when the full story is out.”

That better be one hell of a good story.

[Arthur McGowan]

That’s a shame.

I’m going to lose a lot of sleep worrying about these poor teenage targets of death threats.

[Ptarmigan]

While they are at it, they can claim they had loved ones killed on 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, or Virginia Tech. That won’t fly with me for sure.
