I've been watching in transfixed fascination the Indiegogo crowdfunder for Karen Huff Klein, the elderly bus monitor who was verbally abused by a pack of asswads in deep need of punching, which was documented in a video that quickly went viral, which then brought together a virtual flash community of nearly 30,000 people from around the world, almost none of whom know each other, let alone Ms. Klein, but nevertheless, who have now together pledged almost $650,000 to her, and the above is pretty much my basic take.

Now, I feel suddenly old because I'm wondering "What happened to our youth?" My friends and I would never have harassed anybody this way on a bus when I was a kid. Never ever!
These brats deserve more than one slap in the face. Unfortunately, nobody will give it to them under the risk of being accused of child abuse...
I feel rage.

Those children are appalling. I'd like to see Karen living permanently in a better community, amongst decent people. Ones who know what integrity is.

What the heck is wrong with those kids? Jeez. The fact that they need a "bus monitor" in the first place says a lot, and then the abuse... Poor woman indeed. (Seriously, this would never have happened on the bus I rode. Okay, we were a quiet bus. But I can't imagine it happening on one of the loud ones, either.)
Poor Karen. Send her on vacation, and the kids to the opposite of vacation.
