Dunno how national this story was:

This is where I was born and have lived most of my life. We just do things differently here in Upstate New York. We all know this kid and his fucking asshole dad. Here is the bottom line, this is a good good kid, his prick of a father had it coming and we all, in our community, just said said “Fuck that, he got what he deserved”. That is the story really, no matter what the actual facts are or what really happened..we rallied around this kid and I am fucking proud of him. We have our own ideas of justice here in the Roc. Really sad but a tribute to my neighbors nonetheless.
