(Video) Heavyweight match goes to B-B-E

Shown is footage from the heavyweight match in the Section 5A semifinals this past Friday night at the B-B-E high school:


It has been a long weekend. While researching childhood suicide, I stumbled across the story of a 12-year old girl who died on January 10 of this year after committing suicide. She had been tormented in vicious, unspeakable ways via the Internet by multiple similar-aged lowlifes whose parents clearly raised them wrong. It has made me ill. Here is her obituary: http://www.heritagefhllc.com/obituaries/Gabriella-Peyton-Green?obId=2874082#/obituaryInfo.

I have much more to say about this topic!
