Excellent, the little shit caught, tracked down and identified by people on the internet.
Normally I wouldn't feel happy about a 'lynch mob' mentality, but if no one had done anything how much further abuse would he have dealt out to that cat, or other animals for his warped sense of humor?
In this instance the cops are on the case, so society can deal with 'his issues,' by the book. Any potential long term devastation to him or his family is down to him I'm afraid, I don't think people were being nasty in naming and shaming him; simply don't post videos of yourself being a cunt on the internet. Being a child isn't really an excuse when there is an ongoing victim

"being a child isn't really an excuse"
Yes it is, that's why they're treated differently by the law. Something to do with not being a mature grown up yet.
I'm sure he'll still get a run-in in juvie with a teenage bad boy bubba though - I bet that makes everyone much happier.
I don't see anyone getting this worked up about sushi chefs working on live fish. There's plenty of that on youtube.
Fucking hypocrites, the lot of you.

Look down
Edit: Actually you aren't making much sense matey
"Yes it is, that's why they're treated differently by the law. Something to do with not being a mature grown up yet."
Unfortunately he posted his video on the internet, to the public. So now what? We all don't say anything or express our revulsion at his actions because he is a child? We aren't allowed to identify him to try and prevent him from further abuse of an animal? That's the problem with the internet, people think they are anonymous, when actually they aren't that much. To bad he was a child, but the target of his abuse is now safe because of a lynch mob mentality, and their problems can be assessed and addressed by a Doctor
You seem very worked up and angry about everyone being hypocrites; most of us don't find bashing our pets against walls entertaining or funny; so I don't understand where you are coming from.
Personally I don't approve of some cooking methods, but that's called food preparation, not perverted humor; if that's an excuse anybody could reply with.

Children are treated differently by the law because they haven't yet matured enough to be able to make adult decisions.
That's how it is, and rightly so.
It's fine to be upset by the video. I was too, from the few seconds I watched. To wish any sort of harm on the child is hypocrisy. You either want to see things get harmed or you don't. There's no picking and choosing.

But Jahled in particular...
...and many others here, have not expressed any desire to see the child suffer, merely be made aware of the consequences of his actions and taught that this is not an appropriate way to behave.
There's no hipocrisy in that.
but I'll grant you, it seems many people would like to see him beaten

because fish dont sense pain
and as humans we react more to things that react to pain like we do. i fully admit that watching cat abuse makes me feel worse than watching fish abuse, that's just being human.
and the kids in question were fully aware of the moral and ethical problems with what they were doing so in that respect they are as guilt as an adult in the same situation.

The live fish thing isn't what it seems.
Fish will make involuntary movements after they are dead because the nerves keep firing.

Fish that have been scaled, gutted and sliced into neat little fingers while still conscious.

I've seen the videos.
I know it looks like the fish are alive but they really aren't. If you've ever bought fish from a tank you'll know the nerves just keep on flipping for a good half an hour, even if the head is cut off.

Having said this though,
I don't remember there being this much fuss when those Ukrainian kids posted the video where they killed some guy with a hammer.

I'm not going to link to the video, I haven't even seen it, thankfully!
Here's some people who have seen it talking about it though: forum.ebaumsworld.com/showthread.php?t=287034
There's some really fucked up stuff out there.

You're probably right
but I love cats more than kids, I'm less upset at seeing a child hurt than a cat, and kids who abuse cats deserve punishment severe enough to make them understand the suffering they've dealt out, and hopefully discourage them from doing it again.
Tormenting live fish for food is bad, too, but fish are farther down on the food and cuteness chain than cats or kids. That's just reality.

I'm very pleased these two cunts have been apprehended
I'm equally pleased mob/lynch justice hasn't prevailed.
As much as I, and a million other people, would love to see them get a fucking good hiding it's better this way. I'm unsure of what sentences they'll receive - probably some community service, a fine and maybe jail time if we all wish hard enough.
But the shame and 'long term devastation' that will come from this will last far longer, and be more painful, than any beating they might suffer.
