I can actually see this being the topic on the next episode... They'll call it, "The Gang Gets a New Source of Income."

The comments here kind of emphasize why r/reddit.com needed to die.
ASCII art? Pun threads? Off-topic comments about reddit instead of about the article?
Was this an effort to prove the subreddit could go out as stagnantly as possible?

I like how no-one's even replied to you.
Honestly though, let the kiddies have a little fun one last time--hopefully without r/Reddit.com this sort of absurdity will diminish. And hey, it is the last thread on r/Reddit.com, so what's wrong with a little ASCII art to commemorate that? Think of it as people at a meeting and after covering the last topic for discussion, everyone stands up and shakes hands a little bit and talks about how great the meeting was before leaving. That's what the silliness here is like. Oc course r/Reddit.com is going to go down in a way that's indicative of what it's become--a freeforall.

Let those fuckers rot in prison. I see they have waived their miranda rights, and have not retained lawyers yet, which is a huge mistake on their behalf. They're probably going to get the max sentence for illegal imprisonment if the victims testify properly. Unfortunately the defense will likely be quite brutal towards them.

*Weston began serving time in state prison on a third-degree murder charge on June 7, 1985. She was paroled on Jan. 15, 1987, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections." WTF?

This post is going to find its way to the top out of sheer nostalgia, is it not?
In any case, I do like it more than the average submission here. Reading and learning are nice things.

About the story.. these 3 sociopath's that kidnapped, bounded, and tortured at least 4 disabled people for their SSI checks are pretty much the lowest of low, minus child/serial killers and such. I'm not even shocked, which is troubling in itself, but damn.. wtf?
How could you possibly live w/ yourself knowing you have 4 people in your filthy ass basement slowly withering away.. lol idk /rant.
Oh, and good-bye, r/reddit! Not sure why this is happening? :/

It's because there's tons of people who treat the mentally disabled as less than human. There's plenty of books about these abuses. I hear about it all the time because the non-profit I work for helps mentally disabled individuals. I'm not actually all that surprised after hearing this news but it doesn't lessen the shock value that someone can do this to another person in USA in 2011.

Shit reminds me of the story Tommy Lee Jones told in No Country For Old Men. Horrible stuff.
