lol. guess it depends on what your definition of retard is. Mine is a really really stupid person who cannot think before they commit a federal crime. Coming from a person who has several special needs friends and volunteers for a non profit organization who works with individuals with autism, i do not define retard the same as you apparently think I do.
So before this thread is closed down, I do want to share with you what the true point of this was. I was more curious of the reaction of my OP was. I first started wondering about mob mentality when that thread about the father shooting the drug dealer BF of his 16 year old daughter. The responses on that thread and how people lashed out against people who said that the father killed someone and should be punished rightfully so. The outpoor of people stating "one less terrible person walking this earth" and " good on the father" piqued my curiosity as to how this same forum would react to a similar story where someone committing a crime died and the story was presented in an extreme opposite to which the drug dealer story was.
Although I was not getting the drastic difference in attitudes as I was hoping for / expecting but I think that could be chalked up to not the same forum members posting. Although I did find the comments that were made to confirm what I thought would be the reaction.
Its cool how the presentation of a story can manipulate the strength of a persons stance on a questionable topic. But I guess thats exactly what politicians try to do. interesting.
Sorry for trolling but I am kind of bored today
