  • Bullies get away with tormenting an Aspergers teen.

    Reading the news often makes me feel utterly sick and feels me with total terror, so I do try to avoid it as often as seemingly possible. But its everywhere you don’t even need to tune into a news station on the television or radio, pick up a paper or search the internet, because networks such as the all to popular Twitter and good old Facebook have become news broadcasters in their own right. It’s considered a fact that these social networking sites give us the news before its even aired on the national news! More then likely before the journalist has even got his foot through the door of the all to often “Crime Scene” So I guess the term “Seemingly Possible” was a draft dizzy expression to make!

    So yesterday I’m trolling through my Facebook, like to many of us do! Only to come across a disgusting, stomach wrenching news-feed updated by one of my favorite pages “The National Autistic Society!” The, Headline reads: 

    “This week, three men who brutally attacked a 17 year-old with Asperger syndrome were let off with just 80 hours of community service.”

    Clicking on the link provided I found myself faced with total shock horror. This countries justice system was truly confirmed the joke we all suspected it to be. Believe me, I’m not just ranting because this boy who was so brutally attacked in a sickening three day ordeal was on the autism spectrum (Though yes this is a major part of it!) But I would also rant if the person subjected to this degree of torture was what societies describes as, “Neurotypical” However this crime was inflicted on a person who was vulnerable and “disabled” Making this one ghastly disability hate crime!

    ” WARNING! LEAVE NOW IF YOU DON’T WISH TO READ JUST HOW HORRIFIC THIS ATTACK ACTUALLY WAS!”

    The three sick & twisted criminals known as Jack Bolton, Andrew Griffin, and Nathan Marshall, all 18 years of age, from Manchester (uk) & known to the police, subjected their 17 year old autistic terrified victim through an unendurable attack, why filming it on their mobile phones. They filmed themselves proudly torturing their teenager victim. The victim who has a diagnosis of Aspergers (a form of autism) was treated in such an inhuman way that it is a total disbelieve that they were not sent to jail to rot. The Scumful three pelted their victim with dog mess, scratched his limbs with sandpaper, kicked and jumped on his head, beat him with a tennis racket and then forced him to drink vodka and gin until he passed out. A National Newspaper The Daily Mail wrote:

    Mobile phone footage showed the yobs laughing and joking as they made him endure other abuse and, in a final humiliating assault, they applied adhesive tape to his genital area before ripping the tape off.

    It is in my opinion that after reading this story, posted by the Daily Mail and the National Autistic Society’s Facebook page “Judge Jonathan Geake” who imposed this despicable insulting “so called sentence” of  three-month curfews and ordered them to carry out 80 hours’ unpaid community work as ‘an intensive alternative to custody’ is a prime example of  what our justice system is today. “AN UTTER JOKE!”

    The victim will live with this horrid disturbing attack for the rest of his live. My guess is he has been left with no confidence or trust in the human race. Instead he is left with just a body crippled by fear. How will this teenage boy ever live a full and independent life now? Yet these beast are allowed to roam our streets, serving a mere 80hrs community service. 80hrs is just a little over three days. Is it bad enough they were not sent to rot in their cell but instead be given a sentence of painting youth clubs or even worse maybe in our schools amongst  our vulnerable children some likely with Aspergers the same condition as their victim! Yet this so called community service order, that is an insult to the word punishment is for a period not even totally four days in total! (If added together that is.) Gosh I give my children a harder punishment for fighting with one another. I’m not stating I know what and where such community service will be served! I’m merely stating that we as a nation see it all to bloody often. Giving something back to the community! Is a term used all to often within our failing justice system. “Yer right” Are they planing to give that young victim his life back? Give him the confidence to go out and meet people, walk the streets free from fear of unprovoked attacks from monsters like these scum-bag offenders? “NO, I THOUGHT NOT!”

    The Daily mail online state that Senior police officers and an MP have branded Judge Jonathan Geake sentence “a joke” and like the National Autistic Society, have called for the sentence to be reviewed. The National Autistic Society has launched a campaign where you can get involved. By clicking on the link The national autistic society above, you can tell Judge Jonathan Geake just how wrong he got it! Or visit The Daily Mail Online for the full story including the mug-shots of these low life scum bags who are free to roam our streets and a picture of the “wonderful” Judge him self Jonathan Geake.

    That's really awful. I hope the bullies with get their due!

  • millionofstars@xanga

    Even if the bullies do not get punished (right now) they will get kicked in the face when they get older. Karma will do to them what they done to this poor guy, except their payback will be a million times worse.


    This breaks my heart. :(

  • OstentatiousEloquence@xanga

    @millionofstars@xanga - FUCK KARMA. PACIFISTS ARE THE ONES THAT LET THIS KIND OF SHIT HAPPEN.

    THIS IS A MONSTROSITY. At the very LEAST, the justice system should be concerned with the victim, NOT with making all this go away!!
     If you're not going to properly punish these animals, at LEAST see to it that the victim is compensated in some way for these assaults!! At LEAST CARE enough to see to it that the victim is given a fucking free therapy session, or SOMETHING. But instead our over politicized, overly psychopathic-run government is too busy putting our hard-earned taxes into helping morons overpopulate this nation with more fucking morons, instead. And they're cutting back on mental health servicse even MORE now, which will not be good for ANYBODY, except the PSYCHOPATHS like these fuckbag monsters who get to torment the untreated. NOBODY GIVES A SHIT. THIS IS A NATION OF ZOMBIES.

    WHY AREN'T THERE PROTESTS IN THE STREETS? WHY ARE THESE MONSTERS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE LIVING IN SOCIETY WITHOUT BEING OSTRACIZED, AT THE VERY LEAST? WHY ARE THEY ABLE TO SAVE FACE AFTER THIS? WHY AREN'T THEIR PARENTS BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF THEM!? If those were my kids, I would knock them unconscious, then do it again, then give them to some fucking foster agency in the streets of Camden, NJ!@!!!!! IF I WERE THE ASPERGER CHILD'S MOTHER, THESE KIDS WOULD HAVE MET A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH, and then death.

    WHERE IS YOUR RAGE, SOCIETY?! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!!!!!
    ARE ALL YOU CARE ABOUT THE LATEST STYLE OF JEANS AND LADY GAGA'S NEW HIT CD?!

  • Coffee_Kaioken@xanga

    @OstentatiousEloquence@xanga - Hey hey hey now, be sure to save a few pieces of their bodies for the rest of us, okay?

  • ShimmerBodyCream@xanga
  • Stanelle@xanga
    What?!?!

    I can't tell you how angry this story makes me.  Perhaps the judge would have given out more punishment if HE had been pelted with dog feces, had his genitals taped up and been kicked in the head,..all while being recorded on the bullies' mobile phones,..for three days!!


    This articles prompted me to write what I wrote in my blog entry here on today.s Xanga post:

    How can the civil rights of a disAbled young man be so ignored that these monsters are walking around free and specifically,..unpunished?

  • ncxcorexkid@xanga

    @OstentatiousEloquence@xanga - I know that here in America, our justice (hahahaha) system is tied up giving hate groups freedom of speech (The Westboro Baptist Church) and jailing innocent bloggers for posting the happenings of the "eco-terrorist". AND jailing some "eco-terrorists" for a longer amount of time than most pedophiles and rapists. So, CLEARLY they have no time to put these 'nice, young' gentlemen in jail, probably because their mommies and daddies have a fat wad of cash and can just 'make it go away'.

    Eh, I forgot where I read that last one. BUT the girl is in jail for 22 years for being an "eco-terrorist".

  • Mind_of_Eplx@xanga

    People can talk about Karma and crap, but the punishment of these pathetic people needs to give now. Life in prison. no Chance of parole. or have them stand out in front of a busy city street with a sign saying there what they where convinced for.

    @OstentatiousEloquence@xanga -  this is a sad world we live in is it not.

  • quilt_cats@xanga

    My heart just goes out to that poor 17 year old kid- and to his parents who must feel just as victimized a second time through the judicial system not giving them any justice.  Whose to tell who those losers will terrorize the next time around.

  • mynameisblueskye@xanga

    I suppose it's safe to say that some cops just don't give a care.

  • Energy_Source@xanga

    Ultra-liberal judges are going to ruin the world. This is the stuff that helps feed the fundamentalist Islamic extremists.

  • omgroxie@xanga

    @OstentatiousEloquence@xanga - Your enthusiasm literally gave me chills.


    You're right on the money with this one. And anyone who says that you were overreacting has no sympathy or care for others. You took the words right out of my mouth. Mental health funds are being cut all over the world and it's wrong. Think of all the suicides that happen everyday because kids like this are aloud to basically get away with whatever they damn well please.


    Only we as a nation can stop bullying and save another child from enduring the pain that this child had to go through.


    So next time you are considering bullying another person think about this poor kid. You have no idea what kind of affect you could have on someone's life just by calling them a few names or hitting them a few times.

  • CoolXwhip@xanga

    Wow thats horrible and cruel. How can someone stoop so low to do this. I hope they get what the deserve. 

  • nihaokeisha@xanga

    It's so heartbreaking to read how sick and twisted people in society are. It's just awful to think how heartless some people can be, and how they don't feel one ounce of regret except when they get caught.

  • i_love_chris214@xanga

    80hrs. absoultely disgusting. they each deserve jail time.
    what happened to this 17 year old should not happen ever to any human being. unfortunately there are terrible people everywhere who feel no shame or guilt in hurting someone else. and to video tape it and laugh at him.

    i am truly disgusted with how these types of cases are getting dealt with. my heart and warmest wishes go out to the 17 year old and his family as well.
    hopefully something more can be done with those three teens who apparently have no souls...
    :(

  • MangoWOW@xanga

    I wonder if people think bullying is worse when its on a autistic kid. I wonder if they'd be this heated if it was on a "normal" child.

  • DncngINthedark@xanga

    Justice systems everywhere fail the victims its supposed to help miserably, often times placing the victims on trial (rape victims).  And it makes me livid!!!!!!!  What kind of judge or jury would allow these criminals such a light sentence?  It's horrific!!!

  • xhavexhopex@xanga

    That is disgusting.
    I am in complete and utter shock...

  • escapist767@xanga

    witf is wrong with that judge? this is fucking insane. makes me so sad and angry.

  • amandaclarevans@xanga

    When i hear stories like this, i get so mad and very scared for my little brother who is autistic. I dont ever want him to have to go through something like that.  It would leave such a deep emotional scar.  I truly pitty those kids who think its funny and entertaining to pick on someone who cant help but to be different. They owe alot to him now.

  • undeclared1@xanga

    This made me want to puke. I feel bad for those kids. Theyre awful people. 

  • a12906@xanga

    Maybe this is just because I'm from the U.S., but that seems more like a lovetap to me.

  • a12906@xanga

    lovetap= mild or playing around. Not sure if Brits use the word lovetap.

  • the_rocking_of_socks@xanga

    That story broke my heart.  What the hell was that judge thinking when he let them off the hook like that?

  • Fatal_Lightning@xanga

    @a12906@xanga - Not a great time for trolling, if that's what you're up to. Also,
    don't pin it on being American; I'm American too, and you know damn well
    we've got enough stuff to live down without adding to it. I also don't
    think there are too many other people from the US who wouldn't think that this was incredibly disturbing, not just some kids messing around. I mean, are you serious?
