Good guy, I think many of us would've pressed charges instead. Hopefully kids learnt their lesson well and good.

Disgusting, I hope the attackers learn something from it & become better people as a result but I'm not holding my breath

Sounds like those kids could learn from his examples and compassion instead of torturing him.

Poor soul... He is a lot better human being than those nasty kids will ever become.

This poor man. As a mum of an autistic adult son with severe learning disabilities who is friendly, trusting and socially awkward this is my worse nightmare. It makes me want to shield him from the world but I have to let him live and be happy. I’m grateful he has 1:1 professional support but still worry at times for him. Gavin you are a far better man than those you’ve given a second chance to.

My son has Aspergers... I would not have been so gentle.

I am aspergers with ADHD. This story hurts me and makes me feel proud of this young man at the same time

This kind of behavior comes from parents not doing their job. Either they teach their kids that crappy behavior or they don't stop it! This Gavin Joseph is such a good guy and I wish more people would teach their kids to have patience and understanding for those that are different from the "norm" of society!

Kids who act this way learn it from their parents and other family members.

This poor man.........he deserves the world.

Poor man and what horrible little bast**ds.

Poor guy I hope his attackers get their karma 10X over.

Where I live kids have just been arrested for pushing an elderly man off a pier. Thank goodness others were around to save him because he couldn't swim.

Wow, what an amazing guy this Gavin Joseph!

Omg that’s horrible! I wonder if it was high school kids?

Very wise.

Honestly, they should have been signed up for a yearly educational course on Asperger's for their entire lifetime

Since they were kids, they got off scott free.

The things we do to fellow humans are truly horrific

It disgusts me that there’s still people out there who don’t see a problem with this.

He may be innocent of that since it was some odd thing in the trial, as one of the main whitnesses having a major financial interest in having the cause being vandalism and not natural. However, as he has commited several arsons and burglaries he does belong in jail.

Well that is terrifying

Rot. In. Hell.

Seeing this in the morning news had me shivering in tears 😭

This happened in April last year. A crocodile photographer & conservationist, Tom Chalmers Hayes, who went to the scene suggested it was a trophy hunter's killing. He posted a message on social media stating that there were "...very clear machete marks...on the body and around the neck area where the head has been removed."

I recall reading something about the photographer having mental health issues after taking this photo. I can't recall the precise context though.

This should be illegal in all countries.

What the actual f**k. This is taught to children in USA?

These atrocities are becoming the norm. That is not right.

Bro…reverse as quick as possible. What is in the woods?!?

Real life zombie 😳

don't do meth

Burn it to the ground

The trauma in his eyes

Sometimes it just leaves you speechless. Raid. Hard to fathom isn't it?

Gummed to death. Slow and painful....

Well. At least, with a faece like that, she's distinctive.

Oh. Well, there's a stroke of luck.

Hopefully someone shoves a burning stick in him up where the sun don't shine ! >:-(

This is why I love the NHS

I honestly can't imagine a worse fate.

Please tell me that's a camera trick; otherwise, that thing's gotta be close to thirty feet long.

Wow

Ought to be beaten to death the same way she beat those poor kids. >:-(

Yeah, take your meds people, and KEEP TAKING THEM, especially if you think you "don't need them anymore because I feel better".

We now know it was crushed long before that...

Pspsps

Eying dessert.

Rightly so.

I've had it, and it's not nice.
