Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Tortoise set on fire and stomped to death
There was video out but most have been removed. If you find it I recommend not watching. I lived in OrangePark in late 70's to early 80's. It turns my stomach that they could do that to a baby tortoise. I hope they get maximum plus.
The graphic video shows two Orange Park girls burning a small gopher tortoise, then laughing and cursing as they throw it down the street.
Then as they scream in laughter and mock horror, a second video shows the tortoise crushed to death.
“His heart came out with a bunch of grass,” the girl with the camera says as she laughs, then kicks the corpse. “He’s dead. That’s funny.”...

If Connie were to see that video, I sure wouldn't want to be either of those girls if they came face to face with my wife. I would have to intervene after a half hour or so, I suppose, to bandage Connie's raw knuckles.....

WHAT.......????????????
No, all things considered I'm very glad not to see the video (there was a VIDEO....?????)
I'm just appalled - and this is not doing any good for my generally low opinion of the human race....

That is just so sick and depraved. I can't even grasp the mentality of such an insensitive act. Nor can I imagine what I might do to my own son if I knew he were even remotely involved, other than to report those girls.
And there again is just another (unfortunately horrific) example of stupid is as stupid does ... and the further dumbing down of the human species addicted to their moronic social media websites and their desire for attention, even if negative or shocking.

My god that was horrible :/. Those girls need mental help big time; I swear if I ever caught anyone doing that; they would be paying big time for the cruelty that was displayed here.
On that link..there is still a video..don't suggest watching it; if you do: Turn down the volume or you just might have your ear drums busted.

Disgusting
I'm glad that I couldn't see the video, reading about it was heatwrenching enough and you can't unsee something like what was described.
The flagrant disregard for the poor tortoise's life is absolutely disgusting. This goes way beyond typical bad teenage judgement. How anyone can do that to another living creature is completely beyond me. They need to locked the up and the key thrown away.

I watched about 5 seconds of it before I realized what was going on. I wouldn't have posted even if it were still around. Absolutely horrible.

Humans are the worst. No other animal has the capacity for such cruelty, just humans.
Those girls deserve everything horrible that happens to them, I hope they are punished severely.
