My take on the beating.

[razorjak]

Most of the netgoth fringe on my flist has heard of this incident happening friday night in NOLA. So I've no need to press the case for anyone knowing the whereabouts of this worm to report anything they can to the proper authorities.

What happened to her is terrible. There's no doubt about that.

However, those who are freaking out and screaming about how the bastard ruined her modelling career are doing NOTHING but a disservice to the girl right now. She does not need to hear such things during the course of her surgeries and recuperation.

Her career is not ruined. It's DEFINATELY put on hold while she recovers. But it is not ruined. Saying such over and over will kill her confidence in trying to get back to the beautiful girl she was before the coward curbstomped her.

Heather, if you are reading these words. Take them to heart. The body is as resilient as you let it be. You'll heal. Iman did it. You can as well.

...

One thing that still sticks in my mind though.

How far away was the other guy, Paul, when this went on?

...

But again, anyone knowing the whereabouts of William Hamlet Hunt should contact the authorities and help bring him to justice. I'm not calling for a lynching as so many seem to be doing. Because, frankly, most of those calling for one wouldn't be able to actually go through with it if the situation arose. And that may allow the scum to escape. Those of us who COULD go through with it would be depriving some prisoners the satisfaction of making this boy their bitch.

Amen brother, she needs support and encouragement and he needs a serious lesson in manners.

I agree completely. To Heather's credit, her postings in recent days have sounded sad and worried, but also calm and determined. She seems to be holding up well.

I'm just waiting for the 'William Hamlet Hunt is prison shower love' colourbars to start appearing.

You have a great point there...he put her modelling career on hold, but she is a beautiful gal with quite a strong spirit. THe emotional recovery will definitely take longer than the physical, no doubt about that.

On a scene level, I hope that the asshole guy is banned from all future convergences. We don't need him there.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who had the thought of "where was the other guy during this?" flicker through their minds.

she says it was only a couple of kicks - you know how fast those can happen. people freeze for a second, and i suspect that's all the time it took.

Do you know the whole story? I'm curious as to what happened.
