The video of Karen Klein, a 68-year-old granny who was bullied beyond belief by a gaggle of 13-year-old pukes went viral last Wednesday. If you havent seen the video, here it is (viewer warning).
What these little 666s did to this passive, sweet ladyultimately bringing her to tearswas truly disgusting. If these hellions would have sadistically berated a black or gay kid (or a black gay kid) Al Sharpton and Dan Savage would have pulled a groin muscle leaping to the occasion, and these little devils would have justly been hauled to juvey court facing a five-year lockdown and jail sex. But, alas, Karen is a white hetero, so theyll probably get a pass.
Lets recap the film: The pusillanimous mini-monsters hit the weeping Mrs. Klein with multiple F-bombs, called her a fat b-tch several times, and said that they would like to urinate and defecate on her and stab her (among numerous other unsavory things). Thats what 13-year-old boys said to a 68-year-old-woman. Hope & Change.
Now, aside from the hellish behavior of these future inmates (or reality show stars), heres my problem with the video:
1. Why didnt Klein jump up and beat their narrow backsides? I guarantee if she would have called their bluff and started pounding one of the mouthy little metrosexuals he would have started squealing like a Bieber fan. The kid would have gone to the back of the bus to sulk and then called his lawyer. But he wouldnt have continued his F-bomb laden diatribe. Look, I dont care how old or infirm I get if I have enough strength to swing a cane Im going to clock the first gum-smacking punk who tells me to blank off. I believe Karen needs to take a more proactive role should the Children of the Corn confront her ever again. I suggest Klein go to Irma Browns Ass Whuppin Academy. I believe the Academys phone number is 1-555-BUSTASS. Karen, think Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies. Become the weapon, Gmaw!
2. Why didnt the bus driver pull the stupid hell-bus over and throttle the diminutive devils? What kind of adult can stand by and watch this type of venom leveled at an elderly person? I dont care how litigious our PC-addled culture gets, I pray to all thats holy that I never shrivel up to the point where I will not defend the defenseless.
3. Are there no more kids with half a conscience who will jump in and stop this type of crap? Decent boys and girls out there, youve got to help the adults. Most adults have been sufficiently cowed by courts that were afraid to defend our person, especially if a minor is involved. However, since youre the same age as your out-of-whack future progressive voter peers, why dont you um control the situation, and well give you a high five when you get home. Itll earn you street cred with those who matter.
For parents whore still worth their salt and do not want to spawn such feral hogs, use this opportunity for a teachable moment. Pull your children aside on a lazy summer afternoon and teach them the following
1. Everyone deserves respect until they demonstrate they dont deserve it. I believe that all people are created in the image of God and should be treated with respect at least until they show that they dont deserve respect. That means you dont slap, spit on or drop the F-bomb on elders, people in authority, or parents.
2. Titles are important. I raised my kids to call their elders sir or maam. A future productive person will always address a man with Mr. (last name) and a woman as Mrs. or Miss (last name) until theyve been green lighted to use their first name or nickname.
3. Everyone else matters before you do. If these kids do not change, can you imagine what the USA will look like in 50 years with that kind of unbridled narcissism? Good luck.
4. Be helpful. Teach your kids to assist in making things greater by their presencenot suckier.
5. Be friendly. When I take my buddies hunting with me to Texas theyre blown away at how friendly people are. Well be driving down Farm to Market Road in the middle of nowhere, meet a truck coming the opposite direction, and our host will wave. Invariably, one of my friends then asks, Who was that? and our host replies, I dont know. Then my jaded friends give me a confused look and ask me quietly why he waved. I whisper back, People down here are friendly watch outit might rub off on you.
Parents, forbid your child to act like a spoiled, rabid, egocentric animal. Make good manners and propriety a given for your kid. Instill the above southern qualities into your offspring, and when they grow up, theyll thank you in spadesand theyll be respected, revered leaders wherever they go.
And finally, heres my advice to the school the weasels who bullied Mrs. Klein attend: I say we put them in special classes. Yes, classes where all the other students are kind yet are experts in Jiu jitsuclasses where the teachers are former Marine drill sergeants and bus monitors are charming blue-haired nanas whove graduated summa cum laude from Irma Browns Ass Whuppin Academy.
No. The right thing would have been for the parent to take his kid with him -- both of them apologise -- and volunteer the kid to do odd jobs around Karen Klein's home without pay.
The parents and teachers are responsible by not teaching the little brats to be respectful to elders.
Exactly!
The problem is - you can't spank kids anymore, it's against the law. Try spanking your kid in public now - people will be calling 911 - you will be hauled away, social services will be knocking at your door.
In our school district, if that happened, the driver would report it after arriving at the school and the kids parents would be held responsible for getting them too and from school for the rest of the year.
The parents know this and the kids know this.
Try Mr. Joe. My best friend insisted my kids call her by her first name when they were small I told them it was MRS Susan
The kids know it, too. I've hears of cases in which kids threaten to call Child Protective Services if they don't get their way.
In my redneck neighborhood, our closest neighbors don’t want to be addressed by their last names. The children treat them with respect, anyway. I set an example by calling anyone who might be my age or older “Sir” or “Ma’am,” if I don’t know their names, and “Mr. Vinnie” or “Miz Sue” if I do.
The same can be said about private and parochial schools. A lot of those individuals received their training in public schools and they don't want to tick off the parents and thus lose their jobs.
It seems tat this is happening more often. The taboo on children calling adults by their first names seems to be fading away, which is unfortunate.
In my day, any adult—even a grandmotherly old lady—treated to such gratuitous verbal abuse by a child would have slapped the taste buds right out of his mouth. More importantly, all other adults (bystanders, school officials, and parents) would have backed her up.
But now the school officials and parents will back up the little monsters instead. I’d be damned if I’d ever work for a school nowadays. I’d be in jail within a week of starting the job.
I don't think bus drivers report the bad behavior because it might reflect on themselves. My sister drove a bus in Florida. The kids were warned that if they acted up, they would be kicked off the bus. After one kid was bounced from the bus, midway to his home, the rest of the kids got the message. (My sister called the parents to pick up their kid, and waited until Mom showed up).
The kids not only respected my sister, but actually began to like her, bringing her small gifts. She reciprocated by giving them snacks to bide their time on the bus. When her husband passed away, they all sent her cards, and told her what she meant to them. There are still good kids in America, but they are getting harder to come by.
Discipline did disappear in the 80’s.
IMHO it started during the Day-Care sex abuse hysteria
(remember those?- all unfounded)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day-care_sex-abuse_hysteria
What came about from those trials and reports (month after month....years)was a complete shift from adult supervision to government supervision. Kids are now completely ‘off limits’ and instant wards of the state.
Parents, teachers and adults became the potential abusers of the ‘precious’ children....legally. Discipline was ‘legally’ stripped from all but the government.
There were movements before the trials and accusations where people would not discipline their precious ones - but it was a lifestyle choice....after the day-care witch hunts - it became government edict.
I have seen this happen to a friend of mine. Suffice it to say that CPS is completely out of control, and this severely undermines parental authority.
When I was in school, if any kid called the bus driver a whore, she would have stopped the bus then and there and kicked him off. He would never again have been allowed on the bus, and He would be lucky not to have been expelled and made to complete his education in a reform school. But that was back when Max Rafferty ran our state schools.
Kids were most likely happier in the America that existed before 1980. Today, one never sees children outdoors, and when they are, they are always accompanied by adults.
This behavior is the result of several things, the gubmit making it illegal to control kids and the kids know it, worthless parents not actually parenting and the damn schools not wanting to lose that per head gubmit money by kicking this type out.
A few years ago, I had two very scary encounters with rabid packs of teenagers in Florida. The first happened while I was walking alone on the beach and the other when I made the mistake of trying to sit in “their” personal sitting area in the mall. In both cases, I was very scared, didn’t say anything to further inflame the situation and got the hell outta there as soon as possible! That poor “old” lady (only 2 years older than I) did the only thing she could: sit there and endure it until either she or they left. If she had verbally reprimanded them, things would have quickly gotten worse. If she had fought back physically, they would have attacked her like a pack of wolves...and she would have been arrested like George Zimmerman! I can only imagine her terror.
I remember kids getting suspended from taking the bus when they were caught throwing snowballs at one. I also remember some idiot putting ajax in bread before feeding it to a seagull. The bird’s stomach exploded when it began to fly and the guy who did it was pounded into a bloody mess. Not all of us were angels but rules and consequences sure helped modify behaviors.
***2. Why didnt the bus driver pull the stupid hell-bus over and throttle the diminutive devils?***
Back when I rode a bus to school anyone doing something like that would have been grabbed by the bus driver (a man) and physically THROWN off the bus ( and I mean THROWN), and forbidden to ride it for a long time.
I saw several bullies thrown off several miles from their home to the relief of all the children.
Hes describing an America that disappeared around 1960’s.
People of Woodstock era had kids and it never got better.
