When Nanaimo high school student Aaron Mishkin showed up to class on Thursday, he heard people talking about "kick a ginger day."

It was the first the 13-year-old redhead had heard about the online phenomenon, and initially he thought nothing of it.

"But then I left the class, and we have seven minutes to get to the next class, and I was amazed by the amount of people that kicked me along the way," Aaron said. Over the course of the day, Aaron figures he was kicked or hit about 80 times ....

Even in the small town I like in...

'Kick A Ginger Day'

Now this is just flat out right disgusting! Hell, it could have been give a hug to a "ginger" day, but
no, KICK ! ! ! ! , damn those that started this! And, double damn to those that raised children to
behave in such a way towards others. These kind of parents and children would not be my idea of
"Good Neighbors". These kinds of people aren't even worth using for crab bait, be they bad
ET's, or human. Besides, if a bad ET was "possessing" ones to do this kind of thing, both knee
caps should be smashed of the bad ET IMHO.

Indignantly despicable.
