It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marking at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."

9, 10 and 11 years old... and they set a defenseless kid on fire.

Like, what are you doing with these kids after that?

It depends. If they don't show remorse, we cannot let them live freely. They would need to be put in a ward for the rest of their life. Doing something this sadistic and twisted doesn't just come to you. It built to this. They might be ill or fucked up at home. This is why it is important for parents to be with their children and to be there for them. At least to see this comming before people are hurt.

Kids abusing animals often is a sign that something is broken in said kids. If they do something something so depraved, chances are you can't really do anything to help them...

Edit: So yeah, I guess they'll have to carefully evaluate these kids, but chances are, they'll end up in an asylum for life.

I remember reading an article by the father of a girl who was diagnosed as psychotic at three (which was admittedly very rare). He talked about how she repeatedly tried to kill her younger brother, to the point that the parents had to sell their home and get two apartments to keep the kids separate. He admitted that he was seriously worried about what would happen as she got older, as he and his wife could control a toddler/young child, but there weren't any good options for an older child/teenager. It was pretty sad, he loved her for how she was outside of her episodes, but was terrified for her future.

I wonder if any of those kids were just born with fucked up brain chemistry.

Hence why they need to be kept away from innocent people. We never should have cut funding for mental health, and we NEED to start investing.

I don't think they should be labled as "bullies". More like psychos.

Yahoo's problems under Marissa Mayer's leadership are apparently worse than we thought

[Electric Eye]

Yahoo has been dying a painful, slow, crumbling death since 2012. I can't really bring myself to care about this blatantly stupid abuse of affirmitive action.

 

[Male Idiot]

This manly buttfucker has a lot to teach to Batman. That would even set the Joker straight!

These are not bullies, these are psychos who want to take away our future lolcows!

 

[Sperglord Dante]

... Was this thread purged?

 

[QI 541]

So that's like 6 threads now on the front page about children having horrible things happening to them.

I read that article too. The girl eventually hurt herself so bad she was confined to a pediatric hospital under heavy surveillance.

Reminds me a bit of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Bulger
This kind of shit fortunately happens very seldomly, but when it does it's mostly working class kids growing up in totally fucked families.

Most often, it's not only your genes, the environment contributes quite a bit as well.

Fucking hell man.

I really wanted to believe, but it's not true.

 

[Trombonista]

The name "Harry Harrington" really should have been a clue.

 

[vertexwindi]

The name "Harry Harrington" really should have been a clue.

I dunno man, if my surname was Harrington you bet I'd name my child Harry. I'd name the shit out of him.

Black Tenant Slams Neighbor’s Noise Complaint As Racist ‘White Tears’

The noisy neighbor, Richard Brookshire, issued a blistering response accusing his neighbors of racial aggression and calling their note a “direct threat”.

“As a Black man, I take these overt actions as a direct threat to my physical and psychological well-being and as an act of violence upon me (see attached list of the 821 black men, women, and children killed by police or in police custody to date in 2016),” he wrote. “This threat cannot be taken lightly.”

Letter Subject:
“Re: I’m Finna Tell You What you Not Gon’ Do,”

My reaction to this letter would have naturally been:

Broom meet ceiling.
