Well, she's not an (attempted) child molester, so she probably won't get the special treatment afforded to Brian Peppers.
Well, apparently it's hard to keep a good freak show article down.

And Silver Seren has voted "Keep".

It's like the callousness of wild dogs tearing apart a gazelle -- they know not what they do. I get the feeling that silver isn't young enough for there to be hope that an awakening of human dignity lies in his future.

If he's really 20 then there's some slight hope. The alternative is horrible to contemplate.

So I take it you haven't seen the video of the incident then?
"Fucking horrible" doesn't quite cut it.
There are plenty of copies of the video on YT, but all marked 18-over only. For good reason.
But hey! Wikipedia's got an article, complete with uncensored video!
That happens in the US also--neither country has a general "Good Samaritan" law.

Previously, there have been incidents in China, such as the Peng Yu incident in 2006,[9][10] where Good Samaritans who helped people injured in accidents were accused of having injured the victim themselves. Some commentators have explained that this may have caused people to fear getting in trouble for doing the right thing, thus failing to help.[2]

There shouldn't need to be one.
It's events like this that gives my general dislike of humankind validation.
