Ravyn's Douchebags Of The Year Award Winner!
So, last week, I posted about the suicide death of Megan Meiers as a result of a sick, sadistic, twisted act from the parents of an ex-friend down the street. The parents in question had not been named. That's changed...and more sick details have come out as a result of the Smoking Gun's publishing of the police report about it.
Most of it is sick enough, but allow me to quote the worst of it (bolding, italicizing, and underlining is mine, for emphasis):
In reference to their daughter's suicide, Drew explained she wanted to "just tell them" what she did to contribute to the Meier's daughter's suicide. She instigated and monitored a "my space" account which was created for the sole purpose of communicating with Meier's daughter. Drew said she, with the help of temporary employee named "Ashley", constructed a profile of "good looking" male on "my space" in order to "find out what Megan (Meier's daughter) was saying on-line" about her daughter. Drew explained the communication between the fake male profile was aimed at gaining Megan's confidence and finding out what Megan felt about her daughter and other people. Drew stated she, her daughter, and Ashley all typed, read, and monitored the communication between the fake male profile and Megan. Drew went on to say, the communication became "sexual for a thirteen year old." Drew stated she continued the fake male profile despite this development.
Right there. See that? Right there. An adult created a fake identity, the communication with a thirteen-year-old became sexual, and she continued. That's a motherfucking crime. Or if not...if SOMEHOW, this isn't, it fuckin' should be.
The parents are named in this report. Lori and Curt Drew. Well, congratulations, Lori and Curt Drew. You've just been named the winners of the First Annual "Ravyn's Douchebags of the Year" Award. I'd make a statue, but unfortunately, the Ebola virus can't be made into a plaque.
Since then, according to reports, the Drews have been constantly harrassed. They've been targeted with vandalism, prank phone calls, paintball attacks and a "prank" call to the local police which led to "as many as 15 deputies [drawing] weapons and [charging] the home." GOOD. You drove a thirteen-year-old to suicide, you sick fucks. You deserve a little harassment.
I could post their contact information, but frankly, that's beneath me...and if you wanna find it, just look for "Megan Meier" on the internet, it's been published ALL over. I won't harass them, but I would hardly blame anyone who did.
Meanwhile, there's legislation being considered to fit this into a crime. Apparently, it doesn't fit the 2006 federal statute against internet harassment because most of the harassing messages were MySpace bulletins, not direct messages. Yeah...THAT'S a huge distinction.
Again. People fucking suck.
