This reminds me of a case in IL where I am from. A teenage girl kills another in her car while in a Taco Bell parking lot. The girl had been lured by the other girl and a teenage boy to go to lunch and then beat her to death with a wooden broom handle, then dismembered her body and buried it in 2 seperate locations. The case has not yet gone to trial. Evidently the one girl was jealous over the others popularity, as she was a new student, just recently arrived from Texas.
The brutality that young people today are capable of is just astounding. I think that they have become desensitized by the media and even in some cases, their own families. They don't see people as people anymore. Just objects. How else can one explain being able to slaughter others in this manner?
Sobering thought. We all identify ourselves as "conservative," and I often despair in wondering whether there is anything left in our culture and society worth conserving.
I confess to being older than dirt, but in my high school days, I recall a girl being banned from school grounds for pulling another girl's hair--a serious yank. At the time, it seemed brutal. Compared to what goes on now, it almost seems like nothing at all.
