Do you really think it is funny though... I found it very sad someone would treat an animal in this way...

She is quoted today as saying she dosen't know what all the fuss is about

[oafc0000]

Haven't read the exact quote, but I'm inclined to agree with her a little. The story of a woman being cruel to a cat is being reported all around the world. bit OTT

[philipsteak]

I suppose it comes down to how much you think any life deserves not to be tortured... The cat was apparently in the bin for 16 hours, sitting in its own mess...

When does it become news worthy ?

[jump]

When it's eaten its own paw? I dunno, I don't think its at all news worthy. It was a shitty thing to do. She shouldn't have done it. But I just don't see it as news worthy. And certainly not being broadcast on the evening news in a country on the other side of the planet. Like I said. Bit ott.

[philipsteak]

I do think the over raction is more news worthy than the old bitch herself. I mean she has her own mini police force guarding her now but women like her do shit like this all the time without it being told on the otherside of the world.

[oafc0000]

Yeah it probably is a bit OTT to beam it across the world... Still upsets me..

[markeee]

It['s certainly an odd one, but she's a cat lover realllly!!!

These two really are disgusting, sure he might not mean it oir whatever, but it just says it all, that guy and his girlfriend just have no respect for anyone else, as long as they can sit at home watching jeremy kyle, smoking l&b and drinking special brew, while we all pay they don't give a f***

on a more cheery note though

Only

So the headline should be

Man's home security system works exactly like it should.

[philipsteak]

yea i agree, it did call 911 and do what it should..but still

that's pretty cool being able to view it live, and being alerted and able to phone 911 yourself,

All this talk of a mosque near ground zero was always going to cause tension and hostility, which may not be reversable imo .

Why not just build it somewhere else, and avoid alll the aggro!

And how close is too close?

[markeee]

Because under the american constitution and New York zoning laws they have every right too.

And how close is too close?

And why should they have to compromise because of other people's bigotry, as shown in the story you linked to and the one about the mob turning on a guy walking through (to get to the actual ground zero where he is working on rebuilding) whose main crime was being black and looking like a potential muslim
