Those people should be charged with assault and locked away for a long, long time.

When I was in middle there was an epileptic girl. The winners that made up my peers used to drop heavy things in trash cans and knock stuff over around her. Don't believe it ever actually worked, probably just convinced her that she went to school with a lot of clutzes.

Yeah! In fact, I'm kinda annoyed that, with all of the massive idiocy we have on the Internet, that this is the topic we use this thread title for. :)

We could use this thread as kind of a compendium. Post other examples.
