This is what our highschools are coming to?

Ok so for some of you guys who haven't seen this, its sad!!! I pasted an article from CNN about the 6 girls who beat up the cheerleader. When I was in highschool, heck junior high, we fought...yes, but we didn't plan it and we didn't put it on youtube!!!

The rules were simple:
1. You fight and be done with it
2. Or you fight everytime you see that person until someone accepts defeat
3. Or you walk away

Yeah kind of crude, but we didn't try and kill people, we didn't jump people and we for darn sure didn't put it on youtube!

Suspects in video beating could get life in prison - CNN.com

if i was the prosecutor, i would add attempted murder to the charges. when someone is unconscious and still gets a constant beating to the face by kicking them...... that is no longer a simple fight...... those people are trying to kill him/her.

This comes straight back to one of my previous posts regarding the high level of delinquency among American youth and some other Western countries which include Australia. If it was a group of Chinese or Indian girls doing this, it would completely shock me, the fact that it was a group of girls from the US, no surprise. Even Australian girls don't stoop to this low a level of behavior.

well, naturally in china nothing like this would happen. if it did.... with all this publicity...... china would hang (literally put to death) each of these girls involved.

Is it soon going to be land of the free or land of anarchy?? These girls deserve some serious punishment. There is little respect for authority among the younger generations, especially the Y generation. At my old high school, a student was cut down for his Ipod, this is getting insane.

Like I said I paint a negative picture of youth in the entire West, not just pointing fingers at the USA. I recall watching a few Australian teens reenacting Wrestlemania on the train to my rotation last month.

Maybe China/Singapore style law enforcement is needed.

its no different from the past. kids the world over are cruel. the only difference is now the media puts it out there more.
