UP Cat Killer. Stop the Madness.

I've kept my peace about this, but something needs to be said because this is going WAY OVERBOARD.

Although the 18 year old kid might be guilty in killing that kitty in cold blood, the fact that he wrote that blog about it is already a cry for help.

He was already told that maybe what's happening to him now is the lesson he needs to learn: about how unjust it is to thrash a poor defenseless creature.

But he himself is a thrashed poor defenseless creature. This is his story.

Sources say, he's the favorite of his grandfather. When his lolo died, the inheritance went to him. For this,  he gets beaten up. And that's just tip of the iceberg.

He's a brilliant and sensitive, but troubled kid. He even got accepted to MIT, but he declined.

People, it is abysmally idiotic to expect a kid to have an epiphany overnight.  He is already sorry for what he did. Can you imagine what all this public ire is doing to him?!

And to demand for his education to atone for his actions?! That's the thinking of a mob out for blood, just because they can.

What he needs most right now is compassion more than persecution. He is obviously troubled. Counselling would be best for him right now.

It's one thing to be incensed about an innocent being unjustly killed, it's another thing to will the destruction of another who's innocence has been damaged by sadistic means. Let's not all become monsters. The cycle of violence must stop.
