I'm saying that we will never really know if he was really hurting the cat unless we ask the cat. I know that cats don't tend to speak human languages, so we can't do this. So, this whole case will lie upon the perception.

What do you think about the school bully who shoves the smaller kid against the locker, gives him a wedgie and dumps a can of cola on his head? Would you puke if you witnessed such a thing? Should we put the bully in prison? Castrate him? Torture him to death? Do we expect that the victim of the bully must be permanently scarred and is destined to be a useless, shriveled hulk for the rest of his life? If the bully is "only" punished for his actions with severe restrictions of all his activities by his parents and extensive public service obligations by the local authorities would you say that he got off easy?
Apparently so. It seems that any retribution short of cutting off his head is enough to make people sick.
How stupid can you be? Have you watched the videos? The cat is clearly being hurt and is clearly in great distress. Only a fool could say the case lies on perception, watch the videos and try and argue any different.![]()
I just caught this on Heaven666 before coming here. What a couple of scumbags. I hope they both rot in hell, their passage their speeded by some vigilante justice. I love cats, and I wouldn't hesistate to punch this little **** in the face.
Good work been done here, tracking him down:
What a low life, loser piece of trash. Just as bad as a pedophile.
I don't know if you had bullies ever but it does one of the most dramatic effects in a man's life.
Also,bullies WILL NEVER be good people.I'm sure you too wouldn't be close friends with an ex-bully.You'd just feel the negativity coming from them.![]()
You scare me a whole lot more than this kid does.
+1I refuse to watch the videos... but read the website.
You might see a lynch mob but these people who are angry and even the ones who are calling for blood are only doing so because in their hearts they are good people who do not want to see someone get away with hurting a defenceless creature in this manner.
The cat incident was just a golden opportunity to get this kid, and form online lynch mobs.
It is easy getting so much sympathy for this case since it involves a cat being hurt, and many people like animals.
Some people on the internet were out to get him before the cat videos.
That means nothing to me. All I'm bothered about is that justice be done for what he did to the cat. The rest of it, all fluff to me. It's his business who he irritates. Beating up the cat though, was a dumb move and it's backfired completely. He should have to face up to the consequences.
Not pointing the finger at you directly but it's people who show this kind of "yeah, so an animal got abused, ok", shirking attitude that lets people get away with this kind of thing.
"So it's only one cat", they say, thinking the outcome of this case makes no difference. Well it does, in a way, it puts right on a human level the wrongs that have been done to that cat.

OK.
I watched the video -- unlike most people.
This is what I saw:
Some dumb-ass kid and his friend pretending to torture a cat (complete with fake NAZI accent) by using the cat as a video prop and swinging it aroung and shoving it up against a shower stall and slapping it back and forth. Then they sprayed it with water from the shower.
The cat was not hurt because the kid was not trying to hurt the cat.
This bears repeating.
The cat was not hurt because the kid was not trying to hurt the cat.
The kid was acting for the video and was only pretending to hurt the cat. He was only very lightly hitting the cat. As in, pulling his punches like a kung fu movie. The kids were making a stupid video and they didn't care that they annoyed the hell out of the cat by tossing it around and spraying it with water and they are truly jerks because of it.
But they did not hurt the cat. They had no intention of hurting the cat.
For all those who are screaming for these little jerkwads to be tortured to death without even looking at the video for yourselves to see what actually happened, you should be ashamed of yourselves. These kids deserve to be punished for their desire to annoy the crap out of a cat for their own amusement and they should also be psychologically evaluated for their eagerness to film such a spectacle but they don't deserve the barbaric, knee jerk response they've been treated to by the mob.
Have some sense of PROPORTION, people.
Flame away.
Tell that to the cat.. Let's get the cats side of the story. I guess the cat read the script and he's going for the best distressed animal in a scene award.
