9 y/o dies of Huntingtons

9 y/o girl in the USA dies of Huntington's Disease and bullied relentlessly by neightbours

I was also horrified to learn that the couple that gave that girl and her family (as well as the other neighbours) grief, also looked like Metalheads.

It is bad enough that they were making fun of someone with a disability, but they also give many metalheads/goths a bad name, because they had made fun of someone's misfortunes.  And that they are using Halloween as an excuse.  I am cringing with embarrassment for that very reason.

And worse still, the mother cracks the shits all because her own daughter wasn't invited to her birthday party (or the parents/grandparents didn't reply straight away). 

Also, I recommend you watch the You Tube video made by a young man by the name of Ace.  He also has that Metalhead/Goth image, but he says, 'Unless you are perfect, or don't have some disease....  You shouldn't make fun of this person'.  He also asserts that what may be a joke to you, may not be a joke to others, and I couldn't agree more with what he says.

It also shows that not all Metalheads or Goths approve of the bullying or taunting of others, whether they are disabled or not; because anything can happen to us (Metal Fans) as it could to someone else.

Anyway, show your support by clicking on this link and checking out Ace's video and the like, because you never know what you could learn from it.

cheers,
