Where do they FIND these people?

So it's about 4:45AM, and of course I'm awake.

Earlier in the evening I watched an episode of To Catch a Predator, a special in which they go into detail about the various twitchy scumbags who get caught in the sting.

They walk into the living room, these asshats, to find an uncomfortable conversation and an arrest instead of a 14-year-old boy or girl. They're the lowest of the low - like the 61-year-old dude with COPD who gets his rocks off by diddling a pre-pubescent kid who has no idea what the real world is all about.

They walk in that door and their lives are ruined, and I couldn't be happier. Some people deserve everything they get.

Then I flip over to watch Cheaters. That's another show that gets its juice based based on watching society's lowest ebb collapsing, two people at a time. Black, white, asian, hispanic, pink or purple, the name for these people is GHETTO.

The one guy that caught my attention was a scrawny white dude with little zippers cut into his hair. Gets caught red-handed with his arm around another girl, this fuckin genius, and decides that HE's the one who's been wronged. He gets mad because "the other girl" decides she's had enough and gets in her car, so he...kicks in her window and tries to pull her out bodily.

Then, the original girl starts berating him about being a man (or not being a man). He contemplates his next move carefully, draws a deep breath...

...and punches her, hard, right in the face, breaking her nose and sending a spray of blood to the street. I have barely enough time to absorb that horrible sight when they jump-cut to the same dude as a talking head (this apparently happened a few episodes ago; they were doing a "where-are-they-now" segment). He says that he and his girl got back together for a few months but it "ended up not working out."

This 138-lb soaking wet asshole with ears cold-cocked her AS HARD AS HE COULD, right in the moosh, and broke bones. She then weighed all the alternatives and went back to him.

What kind of fucking scumbag hits a woman anyway? You just don't do it. If you're not married, and you can't stand the old lady, you just cut and run - just say goodbye. If you're married, you give her half of your shit and THEN say goodbye. It's expensive, but so is assault and battery. I can't believe there are people in the world that need to be told this.

And then I think, that dude got paid, twice, because of this; he signed a waiver to show his image in the original show, and got paid for his follow-up interview. That he could profit off of his boorish, thuggish, cowardly behavior makes me saddest of all.

I'll close the way I opened: Where do they FIND these people?
