So today myself and my mom went over to Eaton Canyon to take a few of the dogs on a hike. While there, we encountered this really angry person who acted as if he was just looking for someone to fight with his free time. All was well for the first hour and then we hit this break in the trail that led us down into a stream and falls area. Almost immediately this dude comes from out of nowhere and starts haranguing me from the top of the cliff. He must have saw our dogs coming and worked his way down the side of the hill, and with the sole intention of insulting us.
Guy: You must be a really big pussy to feel the need to bring 2 Pit Bulls out here with you.
Me: What you talking about, man?
Guy: Are you that big of a pussy to need to have 2 Pit Bulls?
Me: Nope, they’re just my dogs. Why you being a dick?
Guy: I’m not being a dick. You are. Why do you gotta bring your 2 aggressive Pit Bulls into this stream, there’s 2 more right over there. All these Pit Bulls shit everywhere and no one picks anything up. Did you bring your bags with you?
Me: Yeah.
Guy: Sure you did…
Me: You wanna see them? (Pulling the roll out of my pocket) Here they are.
Guy: Take your aggressive dogs and get the hell out of here.
Me: You don’t even know my dogs, why you calling them aggressive?
Guy: (Shouting now) They all are aggressive. It’s in their nature, you fucking idiot!
Me: The only one being aggressive here is you.
Guy: Yeah, you want some? I am aggressive. I’m a Pit Bull like that.
Keep in mind that while this is happening the 2 dogs that are with us (Falcor and Zeus) are happily swimming together and pouncing around splashing water everywhere. There’s a girl and a guy, both probably younger than me, with their 2 dogs (1 senior Pit Bull-type and 1 little English Bulldog) that are less than 10 feet away but up a level on some concrete. This dude refers to their dogs as Pit Bulls as well. They are looking at me like wtf, who is this guy and why is he so unhinged? My mom is standing there trying not to get her shoes wet and telling me to come on, let’s go.
Long story short, he ends up standing still on his perched area until he’s thoroughly alienated everyone and we all 4 leave this little falls section that the dogs were really happy with. It’s like he was praying to come across another loose cannon personality so that he could pick a fight with them. Either that, or he knew that no one could easily reach him from up on his elevated cliff and so desiring to spew hostile foolishness was his preferred outlet for his low self esteem. I mean, who goes out of their way to make their presence known in such a pretentious way and then break the ice by calling someone a pussy twice? For no reason. Other than the fact that he obviously hated my dogs, not because of anything that they actually did but simply because of the way that they looked and their perceived breed. Another thing, he made it seem as though only Pit Bulls were shitting in the canyon. First off, dogs have no ability to pick up their own shit, and secondly, he’s making the random pile of poop on the ground a Pit Bull issue and not a general dog and their owner issue. That’s rational.
I feel bad for this dude. He’s clearly not too bright, but then he’s taken his ignorance and slanted ways of looking at things and soaked them in aggression and anger and a desire to control and this mentality of needless posturing. And while calling my dogs aggressive. I mean, is that just simple hypocrisy or more like being so out of touch with what is actually happening that you become your own cartoon character? He’s literally out in the middle of a canyon trying to provoke other people by being as big of an asshole as he can be to them. Unloading his learned ignorance onto me and my dogs for no reason whatsoever other than that he’s got this quite obvious axe to grind against Pit Bulls. It kind of boggles my mind.
We encountered at least 100 people today. All nice, all smiling, all actively doing something and all minding their own business. This is kind of a nice metaphor for society as a whole in comparison to individual ideologues who have a visceral disdain and hate for entire groups of anything.

Karen Branson encourages stabbing pitbulls and stalks and attacks people on blogs

Luke & Babette's Big "Pitbull" Lobby You are clearly a very irresponsible pit bull owner. tick...tick...tick... And your beady-eyed mutant is obese! Gross! And it appears you haven't even managed to teach her to walk on a proper collar!

Luke & Babette's Big "Pitbull" Lobby What happens with someone else's dog doesn't concern me however if a pit bull were attacking a human, yes, I would do anything necessary to kill it. If one were attacking someone else's dog, I would hand them the knife. If it were attacking my dog, I would slit its throat as fast as I could do it. But unless it charges and catches me completely off guard, no pit bull will ever have the opportunity to get close enough to my dog to do harm. If those owners are stupid enough to let a pit bull interact with their dog and it gets killed, that's their problem - I could just consider it a shame their poor dog had to suffer for their stupidity.

Maryann Redfern getting some of her own back, how do you like it Maryann?

Mary Ann Redfern you are a psycho cunt! You post Ana’s mugshot on your facebook page every single day. You’re a CUNT with absolutely no life. Shouldn’t you be taking care of your kids? No you’re too worried about other people and what they’re doing. What you need to be worried about is why so many people have negative things to say about your daughter. You also need to take a good hard look in the mirror and ask yourself why you think you are so ABOVE all of this but you are constantly commenting, even attacking the creator of a website. THE CREATOR OF A WEBSITE. that’s probably more than you’ve ever accomplished in your whole life you swamp buzzard. Ask yourself, why am I so obsessed with a 24 year old that every day when I wake up the first thing I do is post her mugshot? Ask yourself, why do I keep going to thedirty.com to check the comments on a post about my daughter, write more and keep making it more popular? it’s probably the most popular post on here in a long time. you know why? Because your stupid ass keeps commenting on here. No one cares if you went to college. No one cares about your life at all. No one cares about your old ass. You felt the need to insert yourself into this drama, not to help your daughter, but to have some attention yourself, to get a rush from the drama. If you really wanted to help your daughter you would have been a real mother and told her to not worry about it and to keep going on with her life. If none of it’s true as you claim, why draw so much attention to it? you’re not a good mother at all. get a life. and like some other poster said go fix a sammich bitch

At least I don’t hide behind “anonymous. Go jerk yourself.

(1) I graduated high school in 1971with a high GPA and my education did not stop there by any means. I don’t owe you a resume. You’re so “smart” check it out for yourself. (IQ 128)
(2) Molly doesn’t make me do anything–no one can make me do anything I don’t want to do or stop me from doing things I DO want to do.
(3) I practice no religion and don’t even begin to understand what THOSE comments are about.
(4) This is it for me. This site is for losers. I’m not a loser.

daughter? Well we’ve already seen the psycho nutcase mrs. redfern’s comments..could this be bill redfern? a man who hasn’t paid his taxes for years? Hmmm and I believe I have the number to the IRS office here, somewhere. how have you been using that “disability check” since molly was in highschool? I remember you giving it to her back then, looks like your still cheating the system. haha.

  • Ana Cllaire Wiltse, aren’t you in enough trouble already? I will defend my daughter from ignorant people such as yourself . You/ve been in college for over six years and changed your major at least three times but you haven’t learned a single thing. You will never graduate because at age 25 you should be out of college and making a career for yourself.
    Also, I scarecely see how you or your friends can make fun of Molly’s appearance. She’s as skinny as a rail and her stomach is as flat as a board. The picture you chose was bad posture and a poor angle but of course you wouldn’t choose a flattering picture to go with your libel. You may want to take a long, hard look in the mirror. I know it’s wrong to point out another’s flaws, but here goes: your teeth are huge, horse teeth. When you smile it looks like one of those silly donkey postcards where the donkey is grinning crookedly. You’re short, short people got no body…your head is too big for your body. And, last, but certainly not least I can’t see how you would make fun of Molly’s forehead seeing as how your whole face is, shall we say, looooooooooooooooooooog. Oh, your nose, never mind, I’m sure you’ve had a lifetime of looking at that nose in the mirror so no need to point out to you the fact that it dominates the entire central portion of your face and points south like a witch’s nose.
    Your body, not enough space here to go into its shortcomings.
    My law degree? Figure it out.
Hooman, don’t kid your low IQ self. To say this site doesn’t intend to hurt anyone is like a steamroller operator running someone over and saying, “Oops, I didn’t mean to hurt you”. You money grubbing bastard, you make money off of other people’s misery, you misogynist sociopath. Maybe when your little girl grows up to be a woman you will understand the feeling of fury and flaming emotions these peoples’ loved ones experience when their childr/sister/mother/aunt/friend/girlfriend are hurt.But you don’t care. Sociopaths don’t have a conscience and obviously neither do the lowlifes who blog on this co-called site.

Since this will never make it to your comment section and will be trashed by your”blogmaster” (dumb) I don’t feel any particular need to measure my words carefully. It’s bad enough you run a site with the implicit design of hurting people, but, after doing considerable research on your sorry ass, I find that you are just a common criminal, Hooman (WhoDat?). No one seems to know where you are from but it’s written all over your dark, ugly face where you come from. You’re a sicko and proud of it. It doesn’t take a clairvoyant to figure out that you will eventually end up in jail or dead. No hope for you. You’re a lost soul. Pathetic. Ugly. Short. Ignorant. A total loser.

Nik Richie (Hooman Karamian) purveyor of verbal vomit.

  1. Too late Redfern! You’ve already posted enough slander on this website as well as you and your daughter’s public facebook to destroy any credibility you people might have had. Saved screenshots don’t lie when your name is attached to them! Next time think before you accuse others and let your mouth run away with you, or should I say incriminating text, because I know alot of authority figures who are very anxious to see every single screenshot of what the Redferns have been slinging all over the internet. No one empathizes with hypocritical kettles, calling others black.

All About Cyberbullies: Who They Are and What They Do

By  — Bullying Special Edition Contributor
Updated on Mar 22, 2011
Almost every adolescent has access to the internet nowadays and most of them have a mobile phone. Therefore it is not surprising that cyberbullying, or bullying through these new technologies, is increasing. To put cyberbullies to a stop it is necessary to know who they are, what they do, and why they bully. That was the reason for a study in which we interviewed adolescents on their experiences with cyberbullying.

Interviews through MSN-Messenger

Information about cyberbullies was obtained by interviewing 61 adolescents between 12 and 18 years old via MSN Messenger. Cyberbullies, cybervictims, adolescents who were both, and adolescents who had witnessed cyberbullying, all talked about a cyberbullying event.

The Cyberbullies

Digital communication has created a new way to bully. This may enable some adolescents to become bullies, who might not have been bullies otherwise. Are cyberbullies simply traditional bullies who use new methods to bully or are they a new group? Cyberbullying and traditional bullying are related.
  • Almost 70% of cyberbullies also bullied in real life (“allround bullies”). Of them, more than half bullied the same victim in both ways.
  • The remaining 30% of cyberbullies bullied only in the cyberworld (“pure bullies”). Cyberbullies do have experience with traditional bullying, however only as a bully; they had little experience with victimization.
What differentiated “pure cyberbullies” from “allround bullies”? Pure cyberbullies did not match the profile of a ‘typical’ traditional bully, who is often dominant, popular, but disliked. In addition, they were less dominant and deviant than allround bullies. These results support the idea that a different group of adolescents is able to bully in cyberspace. Pure cyberbullies do not have to be ‘tough’ to be able to bully. However, pure cyberbullies also shared characteristics with allround bullies. They did not differ in levels of empathy, social intelligence, relational aggression, or school achievement. Neither did they differ in the motives for their bullying behavior.
Even though cyberspace lends itself perfectly for bullying by unknowns, as in traditional bullying, many cyberbullies were peers close to the victim such as classmates, friends, and schoolmates. Cyberbullies were more often boys, while cybervictims were most often girls.

Why do Cyberbullies Bully?

Participants were asked why they thought the cyberbully engaged in his or her behavior. The perceived cyberbullying motives were divided in nine categories.
  • Peer acceptance and jealousy were common motives. For girls, jealousy was often related to cliques. A best friend would meet someone outside their clique; as a result the girl would cyberbully her together with the other girls of the group.
  • A revenge motive was also frequently mentioned, for example, to get back at someone who said something out of line at school to the cyberbully or a friend of the cyberbully. Friends or romantic couples took revenge after a rejection or break up of their relationship.
  • Entertainment and the need for resources were mentioned, but not often. Adolescents who were motivated by getting control over resources commanded their victim to make their homework.
  • Dominance, self-esteem, attention getting, and venting personal problems were mentioned very infrequently.

Delete Cyberbullying A Stop Online Harassment Project

WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU'RE A VICTIM?

Being cyberbullyied can make you feel helpless, but there are steps you can take to protect yourself and seek help. The most important thing to do is to talk to an adult you trust as soon as you realize there is a problem.
How to react to cyberbullying:
  • Ignore—Dr Sameer Hinduja and Dr. Justin W. Patchin of the Cyberbullying Research Center advise victims not to respond to “minor teasing or name calling” if they can avoid it. Sometimes bullies are encouraged by seeing a reaction.
  • Record—Keep a record of bullying messages you receive—in hard copy. If you can show an adult either the messages themselves or a diary of when you received them, it may be easier to verify what went on and who the bully was.
  • Reach out—Your parents, a favorite teacher, school administrators, counselors, and even police officers can help you deal with cyberbullying. Your state laws or your school’s policies may have rules against cyberbullying that these trusted adults can enlist to help you. It’s also helpful to talk to friends or a counselor so you can get their support when you are feeling upset by hurtful comments. There is no reason to suffer alone when you are the target of bullying.
  • Cut off the bully—The National Crime Prevention Council advises victims to stop all communication with the bully when possible. You may be able to block their phone number so you no longer receive their calls or texts. If that’s not possible, you might consider changing phone numbers. Facebook and instant messenger providers allow you to block other users so that they can no longer interact with you. If for some reason it’s not possible to block a cyberbully, you can always screen their calls and delete their messages without opening them.
  • Go high-tech—If you’re being bullied via a website, chances are that the bully is going against the website’s terms of use. Reporting bullies to the website administrator may get them kicked off the site. The National Crime Prevention Council highlights that on Facebook and Youtube, some of the most popular sites for cyberbullying activity, you can report cyberbullying incidents to the sites’ “safety centers.” The Cyberbullying Research Center also notes that your parents can help by getting in touch with your internet service provider, cell phone service provider, or content provider. In some cases, the providers can look into the bullying incident to uncover an anonymous bully and may also be able to take down offensive posts.

WHAT NOT TO DO

  • ­Sink to the bully’s level. Starting your own cyberbullying campaign against the bully will get you nowhere, especially if you end up breaking state laws or school rules.
  • Forward bullying content or messages. If someone sends you a bullying message, forwarding it to a friend only expands the problem. You never know how far an email chain can go.
  • Believe the bully. Don’t let bullies destroy your self-esteem. No one deserves to be harassed. Cyberbullies’ cowardly and destructive actions are often more about their own problems than they are about you. When bullying gets you down, talk about it with someone you trust who can build you back up.

Cyber Bullying Statistics

Cyber bullying statistics refers to Internet bullying. Cyber bullying is a form of teen violence that can do lasting harm to young people. Bullying statistics show that cyber bullying is a serious problem among teens. By being more aware of cyber bullying, teens and adults can help to fight it.
Cyber bullying affects many adolescents and teens on a daily basis. Cyber bullying involves using technology, like cell phones and the Internet, to bully or harass another person. Cyber bullying can take many forms:
  • Sending mean messages or threats to a person's email account or cell phone
  • Spreading rumors online or through texts
  • Posting hurtful or threatening messages on social networking sites or web pages
  • Stealing a person's account information to break into their account and send damaging messages
  • Pretending to be someone else online to hurt another person
  • Taking unflattering pictures of a person and spreading them through cell phones or the Internet
  • Sexting, or circulating sexually suggestive pictures or messages about a person
Cyber bullying can be very damaging to adolescents and teens. It can lead to anxiety, depression, and even suicide. Also, once things are circulated on the Internet, they may never disappear, resurfacing at later times to renew the pain of cyber bullying.
Many cyber bullies think that bullying others online is funny. Cyber bullies may not realize the consequences for themselves of cyberbullying. The things teens post online now may reflect badly on them later when they apply for college or a job. Cyber bullies can lose their cell phone or online accounts for cyber bullying. Also, cyber bullies and their parents may face legal charges for cyber bullying, and if the cyber bullying was sexual in nature or involved sexting, the results can include being registered as a sex offender. Teens may think that if they use a fake name they won't get caught, but there are many ways to track some one who is cyber bullying.
Despite the potential damage of cyber bullying, it is alarmingly common among adolescents and teens. According to Cyber bullying statistics from the i-SAFE foundation:
  • Over half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyber bullying.
  • More than 1 in 3 young people have experienced cyberthreats online.
  • Over 25 percent of adolescents and teens have been bullied repeatedly through their cell phones or the Internet.
  • Well over half of young people do not tell their parents when cyber bullying occurs.
The Harford County Examiner reported similarly concerning cyber bullying statistics:
  • Around half of teens have been the victims of cyber bullying
  • Only 1 in 10 teens tells a parent if they have been a cyber bully victim
  • Fewer than 1 in 5 cyber bullying incidents are reported to law enforcement
  • 1 in 10 adolescents or teens have had embarrassing or damaging pictures taken of themselves without their permission, often using cell phone cameras
  • About 1 in 5 teens have posted or sent sexually suggestive or nude pictures of themselves to others
  • Girls are somewhat more likely than boys to be involved in cyber bullying
The Cyberbullying Research Center also did a series of surveys that found these cyber bullying statistics:
  • Over 80 percent of teens use a cell phone regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for cyber bullying
  • About half of young people have experienced some form of cyber bullying, and 10 to 20 percent experience it regularly
  • Mean, hurtful comments and spreading rumors are the most common type of cyber bullying
  • Girls are at least as likely as boys to be cyber bullies or their victims
  • Boys are more likely to be threatened by cyber bullies than girls
  • Cyber bullying affects all races
  • Cyber bullying victims are more likely to have low self esteem and to consider suicide
Parents and teens can do some things that help reduce the cyber bullying statistics:
  • Talks to teens about cyber bullying, explaining that it is wrong and can have serious consequences. Make a rule that teens may not send mean or damaging messages, even if someone else started it, or suggestive pictures or messages or they will lose their cell phone and computer privileges for a time.
  • Encourage teens to tell an adult if cyber bullying is occurring. Tell them if they are the victims they will not be punished, and reassure them that being bullied is not their fault.
  • Teens should keep cyber bullying messages as proof that the cyber bullying is occurring. The teens' parents may want to talk to the parents of the cyber bully, to the bully's Internet or cell phone provider, and/or to the police about the messages, especially if they are threatening or sexual in nature.
  • Try blocking the person sending the messages. It may be necessary to get a new phone number or email address and to be more cautious about giving out the new number or address.
  • Teens should never tell their password to anyone except a parent, and should not write it down in a place where it could be found by others.
  • Teens should not share anything through text or instant messaging on their cell phone or the Internet that they would not want to be made public - remind teens that the person they are talking to in messages or online may not be who they think they are, and that things posted electronically may not be secure.
  • Encourage teens never to share personal information online or to meet someone they only know online.
  • Keep the computer in a shared space like the family room, and do not allow teens to have Internet access in their own rooms.
  • Encourage teens to have times when they turn off the technology, such as at family meals or after a certain time at night.
  • Parents may want to wait until high school to allow their teens to have their own email and cell phone accounts, and even then parents should still have access to the accounts.
If teens have been the victims or perpetuators of cyber bullying they may need to talk to a counselor or therapist to overcome depression or other harmful effects of cyber bullying.

Online Bullying

Gone are the days when a child’s home is a refuge from playground or neighborhood bullies. The Internet is the new playground, and there are no off-hours. Tech-savvy students are turning to cyberspace to harass their peers using a new method of bullying—cyberbullying.
The popularity of instant messaging, e-mail, web pages, text messaging, and blogging means that kids are potential targets—all day, every day. Victimization on the Internet through cyberbullying is increasing in frequency and scope. Electronic bullies can remain “virtually” anonymous. Temporary e-mail accounts and pseudonyms in chat rooms, instant messaging programs, and other Internet venues can make it very difficult for adolescents to determine the identity of aggressors. Individuals now have the ability to hide behind some measure of anonymity when using their personal computer or cellular phone to bully another individual.
What is cyberbullying?
 
Cyberbullying is willful and repeated harm (i.e., harassing, humiliating, or threatening text or images) inflicted through the Internet, interactive technologies, or mobile phones.
 
43% of teens aged 13 to 17 report that they have experienced some sort of cyberbullying in the past year. 
 
Cyberbullying tactics:
Gossip: Posting or sending cruel gossip to damage a person’s reputation and relationships with friends, family, and acquaintances 
Exclusion: Deliberately excluding someone from an online group
Impersonation: Breaking into someone’s e-mail or other online account and sending messages that will cause embarrassment or damage to the person’s reputation and affect his or her relationship with others 
Harassment: Repeatedly posting or sending offensive, rude, and insulting messages 
Cyberstalking: Posting or sending unwanted or intimidating messages, which may include threats 
Flaming: Online fights where scornful and offensive messages are posted on websites, forums, or blogs
Outing and Trickery: Tricking someone into revealing secrets or embarrassing information, which is then shared online
Cyberthreats: Remarks on the Internet threatening or implying violent behavior, displaying suicidal tendencies
