Teenagers Attacked After Mocking Town On YouTube

8:40 AM - July 8, 2008 by Humphrey Cheung

Oniontown (NY) - Residents of Oniontown, New York got their revenge against two teenagers who posted unflattering videos of their quant ’hamlet’ town. The teens hailed from Mahopac New York and posted a series of YouTube videos mocking the town by calling it a run-down dump and other not-so-nice terms.

The teenagers received head and face injuries and the attackers have been arrested for criminal mischief.

While I agree that you should expect consequences to your actions, I do think public stoning is a bit extreme. Egging and water balloons maybe - but to cause bodily injury in response to insults is a bit... barbaric.

("Let the punishment fit the crime" - and for all those devout believers in God and Christian faith, what ever happened to leaving the judging to your "Creator"?)

I think if someone personally insulted me I'd show my detest for them with a little bit more than egg or water, thanks.....
