Actually, I think the object lesson here is to not hang around with bi-polar punk weirdos. But yeah, yikes! ---

It was a nine-day wonder 'round here (inland NW) when it happened. None of the people involved is much of a prize from what I can tell. ---

I’m too taken aback and to even muster anger. Unfuckingbelievable. That poor kid. ---

Women… always wanting to do each other’s hair. I kid. Pretty fucking harsh, that. Talk about your convincing arguements to take your meds. ---

Really, I think “don’t lie about having been raped” is pretty good advice, with or without the scalping. ---

Wow. Some crazies out there… Kinda reminds me of the punishment given to women in WWII who slept with NAZIs-- a shaved head. I don’t know if any were scapled, but I think the idea is the same. ---

Sombody should have told her that getting scalped is punker than getting a mohawk. Smash the state! ---

I’m not sure I’d grace it with the word “arguments”, though. ---
