4channers and reddit-users can be valiant knights!

[Gargantou]

Sum-up:

A college student by the name of Joshua Becker is bullied by some assholes at his school, these stupid ****s then put a ton of videos of the bullying online.

People see videos and react, users from reddit and 4chan unite to find the identity of the bullies, within less than a few days, they manage to identify all of them, and break into the bullies facebook/myspace/youtube accounts and close them, and **** up all kinda shit for them. In conjunction with finding their identities people have also put up stuff like their phone-numbers and addresses for all to see. People have also contacted the school with regards to said people in attempt to see to it that disciplinary action is taken against them.

Now this is actually turning to international proportions in term of attention, have been written about in national(amongst others) Australian and Swedish(Only ones I've been able to confirm personally via actual articles etc) media.

I gotta say, this is ****ing great, so nice to see bullies get (part) of what they deserve.

[xcellerate]

my bully wasn't ever caught

 

[Druckles]

Bullies are people, too.

 

[15357]

I threw a fire extinguisher at my bully.


He didn't bully me anymore.





Anyway, uh, this might not end the way we may hope. I mean, the internet isn't exactly known for its foolproof intelligence gathering.

 

[Naph]

What's a bully?

 

[Gargantou]

Bullies are people, too.

What are you, some kinda bleeding-heart liberal?

 

[Colonel Kernel]

Bullies are people, too.

People - plausible. Immature - confirmed.

 

[Gargantou]

Do you mean that Druckles is immature?

I'm a bit slow in the head so, I wanna make sure I got your post right.

 

[Colonel Kernel]

Aren't we talking about bullies here? They're the ones that I'm talking about.

By confirmed I meant that I know what bullies are from first hand. Ain't offending anyone.

 

[<RJMC>]

they called the school autorities? but in the usa isnt supposed that the school shouldnt get in those stuff hence why is so famous the bully stuff?

in my country we dont have that bully and if it does people will react very negatively if its a case of a olde rkid beating a very young one and also will look as a coward

but kids of the same age beating each other? oh well thats normal

 

[Eejit]

In before Darkside rage about 4channers whiteknighting.

 

[CptStern]

so they react to bullying by bullying the bullies? ironical

 

[ríomhaire]

I threw a fire extinguisher at my bully.


He didn't bully me anymore.

That that be a lesson to everyone. Next time you see a video of someone being bullied on youtube, throw a fire extinguisher at your monitor!

 

[Ravioli]

videos are down, where else can i find them?

 

[Gargantou]

Ah, I apologize for misunderstanding.

I know from first-hand experience as well, hence why I think this is great, perhaps putting out the persons adressess on the internet is a bit overboard, but I definitely think it was fair enough to hack their social networking accounts and delete'em and shit.

You're too told to remember how sweet schoolyard revenge feels.

 

[CptStern]

You're too told to remember how sweet schoolyard revenge feels.

you sure did told me!



I didnt say that I disagreed with the retaliation bullying

 

[Colonel Kernel]

I sometimes think bullies could have been normal people like you and me, except if they had parents who actually thought them how not to be such. But they're still guilty, damn them.

This would be great if 4chan wasn't renowned for trolling 11-year-old girls in (mind-bogglingly hilarious, but) vicious ways.

Jessi Slaughter anyone?

 

[Eejit]

Wait, they're hilarious?

 

[Gargantou]

Jessi Slaughter anyone?

Don't mention that name!

Don't you know of the curse?

If you mention her name, her father backtraces you and sends the cyberpolice at you!

 

[Rizzo]

You can find all the videos there.

Yeah. I can't applaud this. I mean god damn, they're not in any way shape or form valiant. They just do what amuses them from one moment to the next.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Great that all these bullies are so retarded as to get phished or have their passwords guessed. Lol @ nerds banding together.

 

[Gargantou]

Yeah. I can't applaud this. I mean god damn, they're not in any way shape or form valiant. They just do what amuses them from one moment to the next.

I'm not applauding either, I hate places like 4chan and Something Awful which in quite a few cases encourage eBullying, but I did like seeing the geeks stand up for eachother such as in this case.

 

[Nomad]

Is there somewhere that has links to the videos?

 

[Gargantou]

Nomad, if you had just scrolled up on this(the second) page you'd found it, but here you go.

Whoops... hehe..

4chan and Reddit didn't exactly unite.

It's my duty as a wannabe-journalist to spice up headlines and make outright lies, goddamnit!

 

[Colonel Kernel]

Hah. Trademark journalism.
