It's a shame to see bullying online, but when it's the beating of a disabled boy filmed and posted what level of disgust is this?
Apparently Aaron Hill, a mentally disable teen, was coaxed out of his house by a young girl then lured into a party. At some point he was no longer welcome and a skinny little thug known as Andrew Wheeler is appointed to remove him by beating the hell out of him. The phone "videographer" Blake Campbell has no problem posting this on facebook with pride. I am a product of the south and have seen some wild things in small towns but this video is sickening. Florida what are you teaching your youth?

The mob on the hundreds of responses are fueled with rage and asking for blood. Scattered through there are locals and internet sleuths posting pictures and addresses of the alleged. Arguments and racial epithets flying back and forth. Virtual pandemonium ensuing over the injustice this young boy suffered. Some say there are family ties to the local police by the man assaulting Aaron which in their eyes means a slap on the wrist if that. I think we all know that enough media can spark more action but does it in the end satisfy the hunger we all have for true justice: an eye for an eye right? Do we ever see that? Kids sentenced to wear a-frames on a busy corner so they can feel the same ridicule. Sorry, not the same. What appears to have happened to this poor child is pure abuse. How can that be replicated in our justice system? I hate to say this but Florida may have an awful lot of tourism in the weeks to come. Please feel free to peruse the comments. #JusticefForAaron
