The Lambopower FEEL GOOD thread.

So this is a feel REALLY BAD & then feel a really great post.

The bad: There was a video posted online of kids on a bus harassing & picking on an elderly bus monitor relentlessly for 10 minutes where these viscous little cock suckers drove this woman to the point of tears by calling her fat & every name they could. Absolutely sickening.

 

The good news is a person on Reddit decided to take action and start a fundraiser for this woman to surprise her with a cash gift and make her feel a little better. He set the goal to raise $5,000 in 30 days. The fundraiser started TODAY and when I last checked people had donated over $90,000 in one day. There's 29 more days to go and they are currently tracking this woman down to give her access to the funds. Karen,the bus monitor is going to be able to retire somewhere nice and sunny for having to endure these little bastards tirade.

Here's the video and donation page and also the thread on reddit where it began:

It's gone from $90,000 to $92,500 in the 10 minutes since I've posted this.

And people criticized me when my kids were really young saying I was too strict and protective, and spent too much energy guiding them.

 

Yet my kids would never, ever disrespect someone like that. I won't even do one of those "if my kids ever...." speeches because they wouldn't, ever.

 

They have simply been taught what is right and what is wrong. Not when they had to go to juvenile detention, not when they got in trouble with the law, not when they got exposed on the internet as being scum.

They were taught from day 1 and it is still consistent and firm to this day.

 

 

These kids are disgusting.

You took the initiative to put effort into parenting. Kids like this have parents that if they were shown this video would find some way to blame it on someone else. For an early Christmas present could the LP community gather this bus full of assholes, deliver them to a 20 X 15 room that locks from the outside and all I need is one roll or quarters and a hard stick about two inches thick and 4 feet long. I'd be very happy.

It's at 100k now and the news has caught wind of the fundraiser

Those scumbag kids need a reality check of some kind, perhaps military boot camp. This is an awesome way to let this lady see that there are good people out there and that a few punks can't overshadow that fact. $140K as of right now. Awesome!

I donated to that this morning after I saw it on CNN. Its at $142k. Hope she gets enough to retire!!

By the way, at one point in the video, the kids tell her she's poor and her kids should kill themselves . And that she's so old she'll be dead soon. She points to her purse and says "I try to live by these words and it's hard"... The purse says "expect miracles". Well I think she just got one. The fundraiser is at $170k now. And the kids had no idea this womans son had committed suicide.

I just picture it happening to my grandma and its just sad. Just have to hope the kids learn their lesson. If one of these parents speaks out and complains about the money she's getting...shit is gonna hit the fan! I definitely noticed the 5k goal. Awesome to see people make this happen and chip in!

The power of the internet is blowing me away as of late. There was a story on the chive i believe recently where they collected money for a wounded soldier and in a matter of days had over 200G's donated so that the soldier and his wife could buy their own dream cabin by a lake. Stuff like this restores faith in a good portiion of humanity.

 

I also wonder when people are going to start making fake videos of something like this in an effort to cash in on peoples good will.....its only a matter of time with some of the scumbags who roam this earth.

Yeah you have to hope that CNN and other news outlets are doing their due diligence before releasing this stuff. I'm skeptical in general of what's on the internet so seeing it on all the big news sources made me not feel too worried.

Oh i think this story is completely legit. But this is also just the beginning of this kind of thing. You never used to see stories like this all over the news. But now that this story has gained so much publication, you know someone out there will try and pull a stunt off to raise the cash. And more then likely get caught.

Quarter of a million dollars now...

Could half the money go to her and then the other half go to hiring a elite hoard of tramps to go round to those rude children's houses at Christmas to set fire to their Christmas trees and have a huge crap on their dinners? Just a thought.

If she's the bus monitor, wasn't she put there to regulate these kids? I don't understand how these kids expected to get away with the shit they were saying. Back when I was in high school, we knew not to fcuk with bus monitors only because we'd get suspended.

A 14-year-old Phoenix boy shot an intruder who broke into his home while brandishing a gun as the teenager watched his three younger siblings, police said.

 

The teen and his brothers and sisters were at home alone at their residence at 55th Avenue and Baseline when a woman rang the doorbell Friday. The teen didn't open the door because he didn't recognize her, Police Officer James Holmes said Saturday.

 

Soon after, the teen heard a bang on the door, rushed his siblings upstairs and got a handgun from his parent's bedroom. When he got to the top of the stairs, he saw a man breaking through the front door and point a gun at him. The boy shot the 37-year-old man, who is in critical condition but expected to survive and be booked into jail.

 

Holmes said the suspect did not get a shot off. He declined to release his name until he is booked into jail.

 

The woman who rang the home's doorbell got away.

 

Holmes hailed the teen's actions and his parents for teaching the kids to never open the door to strangers.

 

"The police and indeed our community does not ever want to see a situation where a teenager of that age has to take a weapon to protect his family ... but this young man did exactly what he should have done," he said. "I'm not sure he gave full thought about what he had to do. He just acted."

 

Holmes said that the gun the teen grabbed was his father's, but did not know whether the boy had been trained to use it.

 

He said the family, whose names were not released, is declining to speak to reporters about the ordeal, saying that they "are all pretty traumatized." "The dad was pretty much out of his mind with distress, officers couldn't even talk to him," Holmes said. "It's going to take them a while to recover mentally."

 

He said police don't yet know what the suspect's intentions were and that will be one of the first questions they ask him when he is well enough to talk. "This was mid-block in a neighborhood, at 4:30 in the afternoon in summertime and children are there," he said. "They just took a heck of a gamble for this particular house, and we've got to try to figure out why." Holmes added that the family is lucky that the teen acted so swiftly and effectively.

 

"As ugly as this is, and as much as this family is going through, we don't have injured children on our hands," he said.

Roger Federer Wimbledon triumph wins Oxfam £100,000

 

A bet placed on Wimbledon champion Roger Federer nearly a decade ago has netted more than £100,000 for Oxfam.

 

In 2003 Nick Newlife, from Oxfordshire, made a wager of £1,520, at odds of 66/1, that the Swiss tennis star would win seven Wimbledon titles by 2019.

 

Mr Newlife died in 2009 but had left the betting slip to Oxfam in his will.

 

Federer's defeat of Britain's Andy Murray in Sunday's Wimbledon final means the charity will now collect a payout from William Hill of £101,840.

 

Andrew Barton, from Oxfam, told 5 live's Stephen Nolan that it had been a difficult match to watch because his loyalties were split.

 

"It's just so unfortunate that he nailed it against Andy Murray," he said.

 

"I was just sitting there watching the tennis and I kept finding myself calling for Murray, particularly in that long game in the third set.

 

"And then my head is telling me: Andrew, remember Oxfam gets the money if Federer wins."

 

Mr Newlife, from Tackley, who was 59 when he died, had written to William Hill requesting the bet in 2003.

 

Spokesman for the bookmaker Graham Sharpe has described the wager as "unique".

 

William Hill said it had already paid out £16,750 to Oxfam from another bet placed by Mr Newlife, of £250 at 66/1, that Federer would win 14 Grand Slam events.

 

The Swiss reached that mark at the 2009 French Open and is now a 17-time Grand Slam champion.

Wow!!! What a crazy ass bet to make. Crazier it paid off for them.

Too bad he didn't kill the worthless shitbags.

 

 

On a sad note, this police officer bought a random kid some food and then a few minutes later was randomly shot to death in his police car.
