I really hope that the police find and charge the writer of this ignorant, hateful nonsense.

I'm not clicking because I find most of that site to be drivel, but if it's horrible, then don't broadcast it. I don't agree that minor publications need to be challenged when doing so just opens it up to more people who might be inclined to feel the same. Shit doesn't need attention.

Fair enough. I did debate as to whether there was any point in drawing more attention to the letter referred to in the article, but it made me so angry that I posted. I don't particularly find Huffpost to be drivel, but maybe I just haven't read enough of it to form that opinion. Confused

Oh, and it's not Huffpost I'm angry about, it's the fucking wanker who wrote an abusive, offensive and revolting anonymous letter to the family of an autistic teenager.

It is all over facebook. And All that Nonsense has verified at as being true (unusually for these virals).

It is disgusting that anyone would think it is ok to write a letter like that to a family that is already struggling.

I've seen a couple of threads over the last few days so you're not alone. Awful.

Hypocritical of Huffington Post to feature this when they published an OPED from 'Thrush' (KH so named because she is an irritating cunt) spouting hate targeted at disabled children and their families.

mignonette · 22/08/2013 15:45

Or rather, two faced to provide a platform for discrimination, hatred and scorn.

SoldAtAuction · 22/08/2013 15:47

that happened here in Canada, thankfully there has been overwhelming support for the family.

CrabbyBigBottom · 22/08/2013 16:51

Oh sorry didn't realise there'd been threads about it already. I was just so Angry.

mignon do you mean Katie Hopkins? If so they're as bad as the Daily Fail. Why anyone gives that woman airtime I will never understand. Hmm

Sold yes it said in the article that the community have rallied around them. Maybe some good can come of it then.
