    I agree. We shouldn't meet this with violence, we should meet it with the law and jail time for the offenders. If it was in my power to ensure that happens I will use it.

    I'm glad you guys are coming down off the rage. Violence doesn't solve violence.

    Indeed, two wrongs do not make a right. But sometimes it is hard to remember that, especially when something happens that justifies and angry response. The ones who attacked Sweetie Belle are scum, it's one thing to disagree with someone but it's another to take it that far to the point of attacking someone... over a show... about a toy brand. Hopefully the ones responsible will face the metaphorical hammer of justice soon enough. Putting aside my anger, I can only hope that Sweetie Belle will be okay after an incident like this.

    I think the "rage" was more spur of the moment. Ah well, at least it's all calm now.

    Found out about this yesterday. Haven't been on the forums much lately, thought I should stop by and comment.

    This is seriously messed up. I don't know how old those two guys were--it doesn't seem to say anywhere--but violence like this over something so insignificant reminds me of bullies on a playground beating up kids for lunch money. I hope there is some retribution of some kind, but violence against the two guys wouldn't solve anything.

    The guys are somewhere between 18-23. I'm guessing based off what I know.

    I have a very rough guess.

    I knew it was in a Walmart, but unsure of the state. I could have sworn someone said where, but now I can't find it. Maybe I'm just seeing things. :derpe:

    I'm surprised this hasn't made it to the local news. Although, it could have made it to the local news, but I haven't been watching TV much.

    Better off not being on the news. Let the cops punish them and everyone can move on.

    True. I was just thinking that this would be a gold mine by the news station.

    Ehh. I'm not sure about a gold mine. It'd be another pointless assault that should have never taken place, but with an even more pointless motive; beating someone up...over a pony toy.

    Besides, think if it were you. I wouldn't want to be on the news, that could target even more haters.
