Dusty Part 1
Today, I saw probably the worst thing I have ever encountered on the internet or anywhere else for that matter. I like to think that I am pretty resilient to the cruelty of the world. The video of a certain minor (who will at least here remain nameless) from Lawton Oklahoma was without a doubt the most upsetting thing I have ever watched. As a cat person it hit too close to home for me. That 14 year old kid has earned every bit of judicial and vigilante comeuppance he is due to receive as a result of his behavior. The follow-up to this comic will be posted on Wednesday. My best wishes to the safety and health of Dusty the cat.

PS. It is nice to see /b putting their efforts towards a good cause, and the internet in general banding together against this kind of bullshit.

But why did this have to happen on Caturday of all days?
Seriously, this entire incident ruined my day, I was so disturbed (and I couldn’t even bring myself to actually WATCH the video). Still, it’s the cycle of violence/abuse that most likely preceded this attack on a defenseless animal that really makes me angry.
So yeah. I’m totally synced up with China time right now. Time for bed? I think so.

China time? Katie, if you die in China, you die in real life!

I watched the video… I really wish I hadn’t. I hope Kenny Glenn burns alive.

I’m so curious, but at the same time so afraid.

“Now that you have invited us, anon can enter your site.” I didn’t know you guys adhered to the laws that governed vampires, pretty cool. Now that you are here, I guess I can thank you personally for helping save that kitty, good show!

[...] Stickcat kicks ass when he watches that kid beat up Dusty on YouTube. [...]

Oh no! Poor Dusty! I really hope he makes it…
That kid deserves whatever the hell is coming to him….He should rot in jail for animal abuse and NEVER be allowed pets again…
P.S. I like how Stickcat sympathizes with Dusty…poor kitty

Hi. I’m crying as I sit here writing this. This is so sad. I just want to say that I am from Lawton Oklahoma and we are not all like that I and my children rescue cats and kittens as often as we can, and we bottle feed them and love them and give them good homes.
The latest news that I heard this morning is that Kenny Glenn is an 8th grader at MacArthur Middle School in Lawton, and he has been pulled out of normal school and attends juvie in the daytime, but still goes home in the afternoons. He has not been charged yet, and since he’s a juvenile, I doubt if he will be punished as much as he deserves.
I am one of the emergency dispatchers here, and got some of your calls. I am so glad that so many people cared enough to make those calls, and I’m glad that poor cat was rescued. Keep caring! The world needs peopla like you.

apparently dusty the cat is doing well and patches that have been adopt to a new home. as for the abuser well they did not receive much of a punishment except not too sure community service. they did not even consider juvie . they said because they were under 18 they could not convict them they way they should because legally they are not adults. pritty much they are giving them an easy punishment in a way but at they time those boys will face the scorn of people were ever they go because of what they have done done and that’s a punishment they will face all there life. what they did was wrong and cruel! No animal should be treated so badly.
