So the two 12 year old girls who tried to murder another 12 year old girl are blaming Slender Man.

Peeps, as you would expect, are freaking out. News programs are warning parents about Slender Man. Clearly we need to ban Slender Man for the children...

Hey dumbfucks, how about the fact that these two girls are fucking insane, and probably have shitty parents?

Plus, they're terrible murderers. They were trying to "prove themselves to Slender Man". I'd say they failed considering one held the victim down while the other stabbed her 19 times, and the victim lived.

Wisconsin is a boring place. People need to make up wacky shit to pass the time.

In the old days they just said that the devil made them do it.
No company to complain to then.

There was a recent episode of Supernatural that must have been inspired by the Slenderman meme.

More.

On Tuesday, Creepypasta's administrators posted a 3,800 word statement in which they expressed their condolences but said the site is not to blame.

"If we could truly blame any violent crimes solely on one specific form of entertainment as the trigger – well, I suppose it would be a relief," they wrote, "as we'd be able to expunge said cause and clear the world of such awful happenings."

The mother said her daughter has mental health issues


Case closed.

I don't remember who I was talking to about this subject, I think it was my co-worker lunch crew, but the point was made that they used to lock up the crazy people. Now they don't because "it's better for them".

Considering you have to be insane to think Slender Man is real AND want to serve him, not to mention the mental status of all the shooters in recent mass shootings, perhaps we need to re-think this "it's better for them" policy.

Not being locked up is generally easier for the mentally disturbed. It tends to make the lives of everyone around them worse. Additionally, these kids allegedly have some authority figure involved in their lives dropping the ball.

I think it was an ACLU case some years back that released them all. "If they aren't a threat to themselves or others..." blah, blah, blah. But they aren't a threat to themselves or others until they are, then it's too late and they want to ban guns and stuff.

Crazy will always be among us. The people who believe that they can reshape the world so that "this will NEVER happen again" prevent rational actions from being taken.

Yeah but if guns are completely removed from existence, there can never be another mass killing by crazy people and/or right wingers.

When you believe something like that, which many do, you can never be swayed.

I always point those people towards the drug trade. That's illegal, and they are still out there. They can even get them into prisons which is one of the most controlled environments there is. At least in theory.

That goes both ways, of course. People that will argue how useless it is to outlaw guns seem to be unable to comprehend that the same logic applies to drugs.

A shining testament to the ability of the black market.

If we give the government enough power, they would be able to squash the black market, and therefore we can truly rid the world of evil guns.

Hey, I'm all for legalizing drugs as soon as I don't have to pay for worthless junkie pukes food because they can't get up off the bathroom floor.

And as far as I am concerned, that means he paid for the right to have an opinion about it. TPR disagrees, I think.

Not necessarily. But if his ideas are rooted in the idea that 1) something illegal can be stopped, and 2) making something illegal won't stop it, then that's a bit inconsistent.
