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."

Yeah, I understand being a little startled and feeling uncomfortable if someone comes up in your personal space like that, especially if you're not familiar with how people with mental disabilities can act. But really, an awkward little high five is not worth vomiting panic all over social media about.
Even if you actually did get accosted, isn't it the police's job to warn others about potential dangerous people?
Honestly, it's quite sad, with how wide-spread Autism is today, you'd think people would be able to recognize it in others a lot easier. Especially if all the guy is doing is asking for a high-five.

From her history, this bitch literally exists to drum up harassment campaigns against people, then act like a victim when people point out NO U.

Do Aussies use the American meaning of Asian (i.e. far east, China, Japan, Korea, etc.) or the British meaning of Asian (i.e. Pakistani, Indian, Afgani). Could've been going for extra oppression points because "my god he almost touched a muslima against her will-aiie! Aiie!

Nah Australians use the Far East kind. From experience they call the other kind smelly Indians. She was going for extra oppression points though, because they were all Asian so she could point out how they were trembling little waifus with sideways vaginas who couldn't possibly stand up to a white man.

The killers were released and given new identities, which of course they fucked up. They're utterly fucked up humans.

One of them has been able to keep anonymous and apparently has lived a productive life since release (interestingly he's the one who took a longer time to come to terms with his responsibility).

The other one was busted for drugs, and then later busted for CP. He's been given like three new identities.

So, I guess it's possible to be rehabilitated with intensive, structed therapy while in confinement for many years...but it still may not work. Maybe the followers have a chance, but the ringleader is just wired wrong. Ultimately the question is: why take that chance?

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

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

I don't know if you can fix this. These kids are little monsters.

I mean, I know at those ages, I had some gray areas over what was morally right or wrong, but I knew hurting people was wrong, AND EVEN AT THAT AGE, I would have known setting someone on fire was the behavior of a psychopath.

You don't "fix" that level of crazy. You cage it, or get rid of it.

and sure, you can give them therapy and medication and they can be released back into the world and they will behave normally....until of course they have that ONE really bad day that everyone gets at some point in their life, and it sets them off.

Containment study and a whole lot of medication.

I'm not sure about others, but even I know at that age that you should not cause any injury that did not heal in a week. Don't break bones, don't set people on fire, even if they have a scruff with you at the yard.

Why in hell didn't she just say "Leave us the hell alone, mate!"? Oh wait, because him forcing her to tell him off is non-verbal bullying and rape. Silly me.
