11/18/04 Bum Fights and Black Eyes...

The cover of the Calgary Herald today, had pictures from a video taken by thugs beating and urinating on a homeless man. White teenagers beating a native man for no reason other than he was an easy target. The video shows them laughing between kicks. What clever little piggys they are.

This whole thing is like The Lord of the Flies on acid. The one mental defective taping this little orgy of hate was fully of suggestions. "Piss on his face... Kick him again..." and his empty minded soldiers obliged. These little shit heads wanted to post the video on the internet so the world could marvel at this violent, vulgar and despicable act. It amazes me how people need to display their hatred and revel in it like a pig in it's own filth.

Today Matthew Glen Newman and Andrew Hilderman, two of the five responsible for this incident, were sentenced to 6 months in jail. The judge called it "a cruel and degrading assault." That stikes me as the understatement of the year. That's like saying Hitler was "pesky" and that America is the bastion of democracy.

These little fuckers got off way too easy. 6 months... 6 years would have been getting off easy as far as I'm concerned. What they did is way beyond barbaric. It was sociopathic, hateful and beyond normal human comprehension. Just when I think we as Canadians have progressed as a society... something like this gets loose. Tada!!! We fucked our own credibilty again.

I can't blame them too much, I mean... hell, he was just lying there, in the alley sleeping. How dare he lie there, minding his own business. Just who the fuck does he think he is anyway? Who wouldn't want to punish this man for just existing.

What kind of fucking monsters are we breeding? The paper said their mothers were crying. I have no doubt. I would too. In fact, I'm near tears as I type this.

The victim is a man named Kelly Littlelight. A man who was already down on his luck. A man living on the streets. A man who was ultimately treated worse than the lowest piece of shit. He deserves better than this. He deserves the right to have a say in their punishment. (Make no mistake... these people need to be punished... This is not about rehabilitation...It's about justice, and sometimes there just needs to be an eye for an eye to make things right. )

I hope these little cowards have a fun time in jail. Maybe we could make videos of them in the joint. I'd love to post that on the internet.
