Developing: Body found near where Kansas teen vanished

[Sweet 16]

We really need to stop coddling these friggin criminals. We need to execute the piece of crap that did this in public, and the most painful way possible so when the next sicko thinks of doing it they can have that burnt into the back of their heads.

Chop off his manhood with a dirty dull hatchet, and let him die a slow death from the infection eating away his body.

AMEN brother! I can't imagine one reason why the POS that did this should continue to live. I also can't imagine the pain this girl's family and friends are going through. God bless them all.

Anyway do you remember the video from a few years ago of this black women causing problems at some pizza joint where she ends up spitting on the clerk and then going and getting her 300+lb. boyfriend, then he proceeds to beat the poor guy down for a good 2 minutes? There were 10 people or so just standing around and noone did anything to help this poor guy.

There's lots of other weapons in a pizza joint though. ANYTHING in a restaurant could be used. LOTS of chairs (and pieces of chairs, tables, etc). Big guy like that would go down in a second with a chair leg to the knee, or the back of the neck, which ever is immidiately available. Just amazes me that people get so stunned when they see something like that..deer in the headlights. That sinking feeling you have when you see something like that, is your mind trying to tell you to get off your ass and do something.

On the forums, in the mall, at work, wherever, there is a "pack mentality" amongst humans. Where you feel powerless as one, even in a group but somewhere inside, where your morals are, you know what is right and wrong but may not be able to find that "switch" that gets you to act on those feelings. It only takes ONE person in a group to start, a leader, to get the pack to follow.

I was a the Fastop in Lusby a couple of years ago filling up the truck, when I noticed a lone bicyclist ride in and was trying to pull his bike inside the store. Two car loads of kids, 6 kids in all, were chasing him. They grabbed his bike and dragged the bike and the bicyclist outside and started beating on him. I ran over with the guy that was pumping gas next to me and that seemed to prompt several other folks that were getting gas, to help the guy out. I dunno what prompted the altercation, but 6 on 1 is unnecessary odds, regardless of what may have happened before. The idiots working inside refused to call the police because they were afraid to get busted themselves. Apparantly, a couple of them had drugs in their cars and they were worried about that, even though they had nothing to do with the altercation. I heard that conversation with my own ears.

So I called the police with my cell phone, had description of the cars, and license plate numbers of both vehicles written down.

Anyway, that is a perfect example of one or two people getting a bunch of others to act. Many folks DON'T know what to do. But many will be willing to help someone else that is trying to do SOMETHING. In this day and age, it's scary to get physically involved. There's a good chance that you could get hurt or killed. You never know what someone is on or what they are carrying anymore. I just can't help it sometimes. Too many years as a bouncer I guess. :shrug:

If you don't want to get physically involved, get a license plate, note physical descriptions (what they are wearing, hair color), locations and call the police. Let them check it out. Follow the car while on the phone with police if you feel that someone is in danger. ANYTHING is better than nothing.

That's what I think should happen - that ONE person can make a difference. Thank you ponytail, excellent answer!

Karma is over-rated.

Karma is over-rated.

I meant REAL karma. You gave an intelligent, thoughtful answer to my silly ass ramblings but I doubt seriously that you're an angel.

My best friend lives in Kansas and it was the girl, she knows the girl and her family, the girl graduated with my best friends daughter. She said that is very sad and quiet in Kansas. She also said that another teenage girl went missing a month ago from the same town.

There is a girl missing from MO. I also have family out in KS and MO, but don't think they know either of the girls.

Stunning. Not even helping him after the big dude left.

A shot to the big dude's knee could have immobilized him for a while. Instead, they watched with a detachment they really ought to reevaluate.
