I was accidentally listening to Rick Jensen a few minutes ago. He had the Mother of a boy from Kirk Middle School on the phone talking about the problem that her 7th grader had with being set-up by some bullies in the school. It is a heartbreaking story and deserves its own “helpkyle” website. Sadly, Rick’s weak mind is unable to think rationally.
Rick suggested something like this:
It amazes me that in this day and age that these kids that victimized your son haven’t had their names put out on the Internet. I’m not suggesting that you do it [Kyle’s Mom], but someone could put these kids names on the Internet, where it will stay forever. And it will come up every time they try to get a job or go to a school.
I wish I was making this up. Rick Jensen is suggesting that someone apply Internet-style vigilante justice to a bunch of 7th graders.
I have no sympathy for bullies. I was personally bullied at Kirk Middle school when it was Ogeltown Middle in the early 80’s. But to have a media personality calling for an Internet smear campaign for kids in 7th grade is despicable.
