Some cynical part of me really hates coming across articles like this. The capacity pweshus widdle chylrun have to be cruel, bullying little wastes of space is one of the big reasons why I hate kids to begin with, but in cases like this, I have to wonder if - in order to focus all of the attention on how mean it is to beat up a big fat helpless (at least until the hormones kick in) autard - they're leaving out the part about WHY Tardley started being bullied in the first place.
When I was in school, retarded or otherwise odd kids in class were poked fun of from time time to time, but NEVER flat out punched in the face, and nobody ever threatened to beat the shit out of them. Then again, they weren't prone to flapping tard tantrums or other disruptions of the classroom environment. I don't know if, compared to the 80s when I was in school, there are just more disruptive autards to be noticed, or if more of them are being "mainstreamed," but something tells me that this kid was resented by his classmates for either being disruptive (autism AND hyperactivity?? - must've been a gem to have to endure in the classroom!), or getting some other kind of speshul treatment that all the normals weren't entitled to. The only 2 cents I can throw in from a personal perspective is that a few years back, I was in the unfortunate position of being forced to teach a class, which was fine, other than a single disruptive tard who constantly had to be wrangled, disrupting the learning environment and causing chaos, and remember how much I wanted to drop-kick the little spaz cretin out the damn window in frustration.
How do we know this wasn't happening in the case of poor little Tardley here?
For all we know, he was probably a blithering moron, letting off with all manner of tard outburst.
How could anyone, adult and kid alike - NOT hate that and want to beat the crap out of it?
His loving parents even admitted to being worried about their speshul little guy when he went off to school!
The comments are as you would expect:
90% - Awww, poor widdle boo boo all beat up by the mean bully! What's the world coming to??
5% - Mawm of gentle, harmless, magical tard (along with - she'll have you know - a Down Syndrome kid AND a "gifted" chyuld) chiming in to "educate", and painting all autards over with the same brush.
1% - Tardley is a target and his parents are just as tarded as their kid is (for various reasons).
4% - LET'S BEAT UP THE BULLIES'ESS PAYYYYYRUNTS!!!1111!!
...Does anyone else feel like there might be a whole lot missing from this story?
