Shameless

Words can't express how angry and sorrowful this makes me.

You selfish, infantile, stupid pigs. And no, the irony that you probably consider the comparison to a pig to be a complement is not lost on me.

You have no idea what you've done. You think you have an idea, but you don't. You're far too stupid to appreciate the awful magnitude of what you've done.

I don't know who it is that you think you've harmed. It isn't The Architects of the Bunny Holocaust, the "Biped Sadists" or whatever sort of bogeyman personas you devise for people doing groundbreaking research of the sort that has made your pathetically confused lives longer and healthier than those of your imbecile forebears.

No, you didn't hurt the scientists, not ultimately. They can, and will buy more mice and better security systems to keep pathetic know-nothing vermin like you from getting in again. You set them back, you wasted some of their research dollars. But you won't stop them. Just delayed them.

And therein--the delay--is revealed whom you've really harmed through this pathetic tantrum: my son. My autistic twelve year old son, who might one day have benefited from some discovery or breakthrough, be it ever so small, that those scientists were on the road to uncovering. Take a victory lap, heroes.

Those scientists will still make discoveries, and my son might still benefit from them, but you've put years of daylight between my son and potential quality of life improvements.

You probably don't care. I don't think you operate on an emotional level at which empathy exists. I don't think you even care about the animals, ultimately. I think your actions were committed out of pure narcissism. YOU vandalized a research facility because YOUR sensibilities were offended, and YOU decided that YOUR feelings trump all else and so YOU decided to impose YOUR will over society and its laws. Sure, YOU like animals, because they haven't disappointed YOU the way people have. Also YOU are too developmentally stunted to recognize that people are of more inherent value than animals. But rest assured: if it wasn't the plight of animals, YOU would be doing something else to draw attention to YOU and to make YOURSELF feel important. Ultimately, there is only YOU.

And so, feel high minded if it helps YOU sleep at night. But at the end of the day, YOU are a selfish, petulant child, who decided that if YOU couldn't be happy, no one could. Not even kids with autism.

You'll excuse us if we don't erect a statue in your honor. I'm sure any monument that man could build would pale in comparison your opinion of yourself.
