The beating of that girl in Bangor

[Orior]

I'm not making any comment on the wee girl rather reporting that the even more public jury of Facebook has decided has decided that she's a Cnut too and deserved what she got.

A bit like I said on the other thread I despair of people..

I'm fairly sure that retaliation will be on the menu too.

Maybe it's just me being ultra cynical and a misery guts but why is it now the done thing when someone gets a booting or some crisis happens the first thing that happens is setting up a Go Fund Me page??

I remember after the Manchester attack last year they were falling over themselves to set them up for some of the "homeless heroes" (one ended up getting jailed for theft), now what sense is there in just handing someone a wad of money, especially someone with obvious problems. Money isn't always the answer.

Gives some people a real kick to put up on social media that they have donated money. How many would donate if no one else knew they were donating?
Self gratifying bullshit

When you see something like that played back in front of you it presses the same emotional buttons as if you were seeing it first hand. Anyone that was beaten up in school reacts very strongly to seeing this sort of thing. Same as Michael Buerke's BBC news report of the Ethiopian famine, we all remember the wave of "we've got to do something-ism."

When we're physically remote from something we still feel the urge to help, but since we're not there on the ground, contributing money is the best we can do. I don't think it's the worst aspect of human nature and I couldn't describe it as "self gratifying bullshit." I just think we have to be a bit more careful about how we try to help, and the answer isn't always obvious. To this day it's controversial as to whether or not Live Aid's money made mattters better or worse for Ethiopia.

When someone sets up a go-fund-me page it usually makes a lot of money, although I'd be interested in knowing what the checks and balances are for making sure the money goes to the right people or does any good. I'm always sceptical about go fund me pages because I don't know if it's some scammer trying to make a quick buck.

Remember the Ulster Says No campaign and the big rally at city hall? Apparently some enterprising fenians put some "Ulster Says No" posters on buckets, walked around collecting money from the crowd, and pocketed the lot of it!

Aye that's ok though if you're stupid enough to donate to shit like that then they deserve to lose their money!!!

I won a free burger and drink on the Monopoly game at McDonalds the other week, gave it to a beggar on the street, raging i didnt video it and highlight it on my FB page or instagram it or tweeted it, could have went viral (i think they are the terms) no instead I've shared it on the board, possibly the smallest media outlet out there!

Though to be fair I did get a run of good luck, so, just maybe giving something can bring a bitta luck your way!

I saw some p***k at that in Belfast City Centre a few months ago, got his mate to video him giving a homeless man a sausage roll.

So you thought you'd go one better and save the story so you could tell everyone about how you didn't tell everyone about your good deed? 

But seriously the term used for this is Virtue Signaling its about letting everyone know how great a person you are, its generally people that don't really care about a cause or issue any deeper than its ability to inflate their own ego and others perception of them. Social Media and smart phones are the blame I think, its so obvious when you see it, it'd makes me cringe like f**k
