I never really thought about it. By that, I mean how many people are jumped or randomly attacked by "straight edgers". I've known quite a few people that have been jumped by them. Most people who oppose this random STUPID senseless violence call them "Hate Edge". I know TRUE straight edgers. You can ask them, Straight edge is about doing what you feel is right. They see it as a personal choice. True and honest straight edgers oppose VIOLENCE. These people that find out who does drugs or HAS done drugs or drinks or used to drink and then go and hit them in the face with rocks and jump them...They don't deserve the title of being straight edge. What they deserve, is a fair amount of time locked up. They don't attack alone. They always have their little posse with them. The people they attack, however, are almost always alone. If anything, they deserve the title of "gang". No one deserves to have their cheek broken and nose broken simply because they like Rolling or drinking or doing whatever. It's their choice and just because they've made that choice, doesn't mean they need to have their faces broken. It's just not right. What did these people that get jumped by these kids EVER do to them?
If you're wondering what spurred this, I'll tell you. My best friend had a rock thrown in his face just recently. He now needs surgery to fix his cheek and nose. He doesn't do anything to anyone. He's one of the most passive people I know. Just because he makes choices for himself doesn't mean he deserves to have his face bashed in with a rock. It's not fair, honestly. He never deserved to have this happen to him. Truthfully, if anyone has any idea of who did this, let me know. Because I really REALLY want to have him press charges. This is ridiculous.
