Children Of The Corn
Friends of Ours ^ | 05/29/10 | Friends of Ours

In Brooklyn, NY 18-year-old Kendale Robinson has been arrested for the alleged execution-style murder of a 16-year-old girl as reported by Joe Jackson and Jonathan Lemire for the Daily News:

Kendale Robinson allegedly put a gun to the head of Al-Taya Coners, 16, and pulled the trigger even though the terrified teenager screamed "No! No! No!" and begged for her life, police said. * * * As Conyers tearfully asked to be spared, the do-rag wearing gunman shot her in the head, chest and stomach, witnesses told police. * * * Robinson has a lengthy rap sheet with 16 prior arrests, as well as convictions for assault, drug possession and drunk driving, according to records.

Meanwhile, "research presented at the conference of the Association for Psychological Science found that today's college students are far less empathic than their counterparts 30 years ago" as reported by Christie Nicholson for Scientific American:

[A] study of 14,000 college students found that today’s young people are 40 percent less empathetic than college kids from 30 years ago. * * * Researchers analyzed data from studies conducted between 1979 and 2009, and found the sharpest drop in empathy occurred in the last nine years. For instance, today's students are less likely to agree with statements like, "I sometimes try to understand my friends better by imagining how things look from their perspective" and "I often have tender, concerned feelings for people less fortunate than me."

Perhaps this is why the emotionless sound and nihilistic lyrics of Lady Gaga are so popular today.

The Dembecile Libtard Enablers will tell you that the craven meida (magazines, rap, TV shows, movies) are not causing or fostering this behavior among the impressionable young, it is merely art "imitating" life.

What a steaming pantload. We're raising and training up a generation of sex-drug-and-violence-addled sociopaths who are perfectly programmed for Buklkaki O'Bunga's Death Panels and totalitarian New World Disorder of tyranny.

Make me want to puke. I won't say what else it makes me want to do, lest it encourage scrutiny.

maybe if 1/2 my life wasn’t spent paying for those “do-rag” (i believe its supposed to be ‘dew’) wearing amish kids... maybe i’d care how they feel... when they pull the trigger on some helpless little girl.

but for now... i’d rather kick them into a wood chipper than discuss their feelings.

either stop stealing my money to support these morons... or stop expecting me to care about their sociopath existence due to a lifetime of nanny-state / the-man-is-holding-me-down victimization and lack of personal responsibility.

I believe that he is entitled to a fair trial.

First take him to the prison hospital on Rikers Island. Harvest his cornea, lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, intestines and skin.

Release him on his own recognisence off the Briiklyn Bridge where he can "sleep with the fishes"

If children are sent into atheistic, socialist, Marxist indoctrination centers ( where all morality is relative) this is what is produced!

Yuri Besmenov warned us. The above is due to planned Marxist "demoralization"! Next step: Destabilization!

Ok...Conservatives! What's the plan? What is the **rational** plan for RE-moralization!

Hint: Atheistic and socialist schools can not be reformed . They must be shut down.

Hint: Conservatives must work to get our nation's children into private conservative schools that thoroughly weave the family's Judeo Christian beliefs and our nation's founding principles into the very woof and warp of every minute of every day.

Well, at least he could be of some use to society your way.

Textbook death penalty crime, but that’s no longer available in NY.

The recipients are entitled to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Maybe this penance would be sufficient.

C.S. Lewis has a famous quote, “We laugh at honor and wonder at traitors in our midst”, years ago, as I watched the ever increasing non stop coursening of America I thought, “We laugh at cynicism and wonder at cruelty in our midst”. I’m no C.S.Lewis but I think that’s pretty good. We have become a horrid, cruel society, and it started w/Bart Simpson et al. Sounds extreme but “he who is unfaithful in little is unfaithful in much”; that’s the way it goes.

I say dispatch him in the same manner, just don’t let the head shot kill him outright, let him linger for a few hours.

sociopaths were executing other human beings long before Lady GaGa

This writer is caught in a bad romance - with his own intellect

I can’t remember the exact line, but remember in the movie Hud when the dad tells the son that a country needs to be careful because it will come to resemble the ideas of the men it admires, something like that. You cannot deny the influence ideas have on culture, for good or bad, and indeed, which ideas are admired or abhorred do hve amazing influence. A steady diet of this crap HAS had an influence on the compassion our children have learned to have or not have; we have destroyed ourselves.

indeed. I remember similar arguments about how the suggestive pelvis twisting of Elvis Presley and the shocking hair styles of the Beatles would add to our downfall as a society. And sure enough, here we are.

Taboo structures in a society are important to the survival of the society, unless you want to change the society into some other society, in which case it is useful to erode the taboo structures until the rudder is drastically diminished or gone. THEN you steer the society in the direction you want it to go. And that goes for any society, even primitive ones, all the way to highly ordered ones. Shucks, in Amerika even the term 'taboo structures' has been pc'ed to death by progressivism and liberalism. Seen any homosexual degenerate parades lately? San Francisco is a case in point, then the whole hole of California.
