Will the House Judiciary "B" Committee help the Buddy's of Mississippi? Buddy is a sweet dog a 12-year old demon set on fire last year. The hellion could not be prosecuted because of his age. Senate bill #2261 aims to fix that problem but it may die in the committee today.
SB #2261 states:
(c) The youth court shall order that a child adjudicated delinquent receives a psychiatric evaluation and counseling or treatment for a length of time as prescribed by the youth court. The cost of any evaluation, counseling and treatment shall be paid by the offender's parent or guardian, or by the state if the offender is a ward of the state, upon order of the youth court, up to a maximum amount that is no more than the jurisdictional limit of the sentencing court. The youth court shall hold the offender's parent or guardian in contempt under Section 43-21-509 if the parent or guardian willfully does not follow the recommended treatment for the offender. Text of bill.
State Senator Angela Hill authored the bill.
Such
cruelty is all too often the gateway to more barbaric crimes. The bill
is a step in getting kids such as the one who burned Buddy for fun the
psychiatric help they obviously need. Luke Woodham is one such example. He tortured his dog to death, beating her, pouring lighter fluid down her throat, and setting her on fire to "harden" himself before he went on his murderous rampage at Pearl High School.
The bill overwhelmingly passed the Senate but now is withering on the vine in "Jud B". Today is the deadline for such bill's to make it out of committee. State Representative Nick Bain is the Chairman.
Kingfish note: Buddy doesn't know a thing about tax cuts. He doesn't know about the one-upmanship that goes on between the House and Senate. He doesn't understand killing bills to retaliate because so and so wouldn't pass my bill. He doesn't understand priming the pump or the crony capitalism that plagues Mississippi. He doesn't have lobbyists nor any PACs. He doesn't have a seat in the Locker Room at Tico's. All sweet Buddy knows is he was burned to a crisp last year by someone he trusted. A someone who later killed his own sibling. Well, Buddy is trusting us to do the right thing and protect the other Buddy's from the torch as well as future murder victims. Will Jud B kill the bill? Stay tuned.

Yeah, it'll die in session. No money to be made here.
I agree @9:49. No money and no connection to Critical Race Theory
What happens to 12 year olds under the current laws?
If Buddy had belonged to a legislator and the 12 year old was a neighbor, the bill would pass but since it doesn't affect them, they do not care. Also, they don't know what ALEC wants them to do.
Who fucking cares? We still send dogs into minefields and law enforcement puts them into other dangerous situations all the time! I see hamburger meat on I-20 every single day that used to be dogs, cats, raccoons, and armadillos.
I would rather they ban slaughterhouses that turn cows upside down and slit their throats so they writhe in agony and bleed out to satisfy some ridiculous bronze age religious requirements.
10:11'S comments should be looked at from the point of view that some folks are just thick and do not get simple things. This boy tortured this dog for only reasons he knows and there is no excuse. If they pass on this bill today, they are no better than this warped kid.
@10:11 AM
You cared enough to leave an incoherent comment.
The 12-year-old should have been castrated.
That way, at least we could reduce the gene pool from someone who might repeat such a horrid act.
@10:28
The legislature needs to focus on important issues. Not this.
Did Buddy ever get adopted?
10:54 is cool with mental 12 year old future serial killers getting away with setting dogs on fire. Idk man, feels kinda important. Y'all kin ?
Legislation seems sensible, but "The 12-year-old should have been castrated" commenter could use some of the psychiatric evaluation time prescribed in the bill.
@11:51
lol no.
IMO the real animal cruelty is not putting that miserable creature to sleep!
11:51 Yes! The wonderful vet who cared for him adopted him.
@12:37 lol at yourelf! Nothing to laugh about here, and no need to comment when you don't know WTH you're talking about.
@1:13 Another one who needs to not comment when they don't know what they're talking about! This is a precious, loving creature who deserved a chance and now has a wonderful new home.
Many of those who abuse animals will abuse/murder people
According to almost every point of view in psychiatry, those that torment animals as children become monsters as adults. If only to get them in to treatment where they can be evaluated and watched, something must be done. He will escalate, and it won't be animals he tortures eventually. Deliberately causing pain to any living being is abhorrent. I eat meat, I'm not a vegan, but I try to buy from places that don't abuse their product.
I’m a hunter and have killed my fair share of animals, but you don’t treat anything like that. Pure evil. Kid should be horse whipped.
@1:26PM
America slaughters animals on a daily basis. Grocers sell those slaughtered animals on a daily basis. And you, you and your pot belly continue to open your refrigerator door and place those slaughtered animals between two pieces of bread and mayonnaise.
FOH, basically.
If the starving 12 year old slaughtered the dog and ate it, would you as be fake outraged?
10:32 makes a valid point. And yes it can be done. I had a former employee whose parents had him chemically castrated so he could not bring more misery into the world. They knew their child at that time couldn’t be helped and It worked out for him well into adulthood. I see in many facets of society that need this. Many argue against it but many valid points are brought into this discussion that show the proof. 7:50 for one makes a very good point.
10:11,
That's not really how slaughterhouses do it. The animal is put down with a quick shot of a penetrating rod to the brain and then hoisted up and bled out before processing. In a small number of animals, they still are not completely dead and sometimes struggle. In general, it's pretty quick and efficient.
I know this because I worked in a Mississippi meat processing plant for several years as a college student paying my way through school. Have you worked in one and seen it first-hand? Sounds like the answer might be "no"...
@6:36 AM
You've actually taken the time to dispute murdering animals vs murdering animals? FOH.
I’m sorry but ANYONE who does something like this to an animal has some major mental issues!! This is a sad, sick, evil demon!
@6:36
10:11 was describing a type of bronze age religious slaughterhouse you find serving New York, not Mississippi.
@8:12….which is it? They have mental issues or they are a demon? Do you see how people like you are a part of the problem? Yes, what happened is a very bad thing. Yes, this child needs help. Mental health is an issue. But people with mental health issues are not demons, and when we “demonize” people with mental health issues, we keep them from asking for help. Do better. Use your brain.
Do animal abusers typically seek help for the mental illness they possess?
Or are they convicted of murder as adults typically?
Seems a stretch for 9:58 to imply that our shaming the revolting behavior will somehow lead to little Johnny's suicide because he did not ask for help due to stigma.
I'd wager shaming and castrating little Johnny before he murders a human is solid best practice.
Buddy also has more class than some of these useless losers hanging around the Koestler bar hitting on skanks.
9:58 : Or maybe the mental were seen as demons back in the day and that has carried over. Bi-polar folks sure do seem like demons when they have a spell. This boy willfully set a dog on fire...watched it burn and has shown no remorse. I would say it's both mental and demonic.
No, people that do things like this are sick. They need their families to get them to get them into facilities asap. They need intense, long-term intervention. They’re minds are broken. If we’d all adopt the mentality that people like this need help and that we need facilities and personnel that can take care of people like them, we and our pets would all be safer.
@8:20 AM
The majority of humans are nothing more than followers who gotta be told what to think. Only a few can think for themselves. Sheeple. This is the reason why they hardly understand when the argument is lateral.
Buddies Bill failed. What that tells you is the elected can be sued when this kid kills a human. And he will.
Kingfish got me curious and I had to do several different searches to find anything that might be the story about the kid who burned burned the dog. Does anyone else know if this is the same kid?

yes, same kid
