Whether “Mike’s” story is true or not, there is a great deal of immaturity displayed in the responses here. It seems that a lot of the really crass comments stem from the common, yet ignorant, perception that if someone does something stupid, then they deserve no sympathy. After all, they are “reaping the rewards” of their decisions. This smells like hypocritical BS to me.

To “Snoop”, etc – I don’t believe for a minute that you’ve never done anything really stupid in your life. And, I’m willing to bet your attitude would conveniently change if someone f***ed you up because of your stupid decisions… I think you’d be seeking justice, and finding lots of reasons why your stupidity didn’t make it OK for someone to abuse you.
