[Reposted with edits to protect the individual's identity] Some pretty fucked up stuff someone from an area I'm familiar with for being filled with extremely cruel individuals posted. Please read my comment here below, as it gives some detail about the mentality of people in this area.

Okay, so here's some background on this. I don't known the guy in the photo but he is from a small community I know. It is important to add that I went to school for 6 years in this community. For the whole 6 years I went to school there, I was bullied relentlessly and excluded every single day and treated unbelievably cruelly by the students for having a disability. Many of the students were unbelievably devoid of any empathy for other humans, or animals. Just some examples: Students bragged about shooting and killing animals, including pheasants and foxes, laughed about torturing hamsters, one of them also dehorned calves and didn't see an issue with it, one shot a calf and found it hilarious, they said that disabled people should be euthanized/shot, said it was acceptable and hilarious to burn down homeless people's tents and said that indigenous tribes were "essentially just animals". They relentlessly bullied a physically disabled student who had a few other problems, they'd throw things at the autistic students and scream at them, along with many other terrible things. From what I've concluded, a large portion of people in the people in that community share a horrible disgusting cruel attitude towards any living thing other than themselves. My dad, who grew up there was able to say that it had been the same when he was little too. The individual in this image is a prime example of the cruelty and lack of any kindness the people in this area display. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
