Re: Do we really need another "Megan's Law"?
by Rockstar

The woman is a horrible person, but should being an asshole be illegal? She never threatened Megan. She just pretended to be her friend, and then ended the "friendship", called her names, and said she wished Megan were dead. It's heartless and mean, but it's not a crime. Where does it stop? Are they going to create the "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" law next?

This girl obviously had emtional problems before the whole thing happened. Most people, even children, understand that not everyone is nice and that you have to ignore mean insults from mean people. I'm really uncomfortable with the idea of creating laws for everyone because one really screwed-up kid had an extreme reaction to something as minor as being called a name.
