The story of Josie Ratley may have come across your TV at some point, recently, and for that I can only apologize. She’s a 13 year old girl who texted hateful messages to 15 year old Wayne Treacy about his brothers suicide. Wayne did not take kindly to the gesture, promptly took a three mile bike ride and put Josie in a coma with his boots. Feel free to google names for news article. I like to do my own research, and leave you to do your own as you see fit.
Before I go any further, I’d like to make clear that I do not condone the behavior of Wayne Treacy. Dude deserves a cell. No question. I am, however, going to take issue with the fact that Josie is being portrayed as some sort of hero on my TV. The part that really got me is when white trash staple turned activist Mom Ratley and her new boyfriend Turdy McLawyerson have the balls to ask for money on early morning national TV. Furthermore, they continue the hypocritical crusade by staging some “Bowling Against Bullying” event. Um, HELLO?!?!? This bitch was trolling. Or, as the news media loves to call it “Cyber bullying”. The piece could, and SHOULD, have been portrayed as a continuation on the argument of cyber bullying instead of completely ignoring it. It should have been used at the situation meritted. “Look what happens when you cyber bully someone. You might end up drinking peanut butter and jelly sandwiches through your arm for a few years. Do they make prom dresses for automatic wheelchairs? Your whole life was ahead of you, now McDonalds will have to find a new cashier.” Instead, The news is canonizing this girl. Sometimes hours after running stories about how cyber bullying is a terrible thing and drives people to suicide.
“Woah, hey, MetaCog” you may find yourself thinking, “The girl is harvested vegetables living in a wheelbarrow, is there really any need for the insults?” Hells yes, and let me tell you why. I am perpetuating the negativity she started because she doesn’t deserve to be the hero here and I’m upset with the hypocrisy of the news. People get put in comas or die every day for getting hit by drunk drivers, being born to the wrong father, or wearing the wrong colored shoes in LA. These are the innocent people that deserve to have some monetary assistance for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. These are the stories I should be hearing about. This drooling, bediapered, shit mop was not at the wrong place at the wrong time. She invented her own destiny by bringing negativity to the wrong person at the wrong time. People are put in comas every day for being an actual innocent victim. This girl was nothing close. She brought negativity to someone stemming from a superiority she thought she had because his brother committed suicide.
Again, the repercussions were not justified. Wayne should go to jail. There’s already like ten wrongs in this story, and few, if any rights. I wager the world is cured of Josie’s personal text trolling issue, though be it from her losing the cognitive function to recognize a cell phone. In any event, the entire horrible situation possibly leads to avoiding you or someone you love any unnecessary negativity, should you have had the future misfortune of ever having met this straw-breather, who looked the same in all her before pictures as she did after a ten minute boot stomping. Or, it may have saved your life had you made the mistake of getting on the wrong side of Wayne Treacy, someday. The only things that will never change for the better, is Ann Curry asking a question to a person sitting in front of her that is not in the script even though millions of people are asking their TVs, and my continuing failure to consider morning news shows journalism.
