Karen Huff Klein: A Victim of Student Bullying on School Bus | The Best and the Worst of Humanity 29

Karen’s Facebook Photo

This video tears me apart to the point it makes me nearly ill to my stomach and my heart truly aches. The atrocious things the students say and do to this woman are completely and entirely vile and inexcusable. Each and every one of these monsters need to be dealt with and given a harsh enough punishment so that they are able to actually feel the pain and torture that they put this poor woman through.

A widower of 17 years, the 68-year-old woman’s name is Karen Huff Klein, and she is a bus monitor at the Greece Central School District in Rochester, NY. While she sits there, several students attack verbally to the point where Karen cries in despair. The bullying includes, but not limited to, physical threats, threats to ransack her place of residence, and cruel comments about her weight and dead mother.

Among the taunts: “Dumb-ass, fat-ass.” “Maybe she is an elephant.” “She’s gonna pick out which kid she’s gonna rape next.” “Karen wants herpes.” “F**king hearing aid.” “I’ll egg your house.” “What’s your address so I can p*ss all over your door.” “I’ll f**king take a cr*p in your mouth.” “You touched her arm flap. It’s all stinky and smelly.” “She probably eats deodorant because she can’t afford real food.” “What size bra are you? Triple sag?”

London Riots: Beware of donation site for Ashraf Haziq – looks like an internet mugging to me 4

The Malaysian student, Ashraf Haziq, who was mugged and robbed on video, is now recovering in a hospital with a broken jaw.  One of the robbers has possibly been identified, according to Channel 4 News out of the UK.

Out of this internet viral video is possibly another form of robbery.  A site called “Something Nice for Ashraf” has been created asking for donations and provides a direct link to PayPal.  No other information provided.

Smells fishy to me.  According to a comment I received from a Malaysian citizen, the Malaysian government will fully compensate him for his full expenses.  I clicked on the donation link simply to check it out, which does go into PayPal, but no where does it show who is receiving these donations.  Could be anybody.  And where is the proof that even one penny goes to Ashraf?  I checked out the twitter name on the site, @jamiecowen, and there is little to no information there, either.  An avatar with a “Save the Children” emblem in it… but anyone can create and upload that for their avatar.  A few tweets… nothing more.  An legitimate organization asking for donations for a cause always provides a LOT more information and proof than this donation site does.

If Malaysia is going to reimburse, then why is this person accepting donations for Ashraf?

Do not get me wrong… I feel horrible about what happened to Ashraf.  But that does not automatically make this site legit only because I – or we – want it to be.  This whole donation setup sounds like a scam to me.  If so, this is just as bad as those people are who robbed him out of his rucksack as he stood their bleeding.
