General Discussion

I saw it when I was young, and watched it again a couple of years ago. It seemed different the second time. We've had other teen groups involved in violence. One of the guys today brought up where teens beat a guy in his 30s to death in his hometown in 1995. I noted that an almost exact same thing took place in the exact same spot in 1895. (I was aware of that, as it was part of railroad history, and my family worked on that railroad for generations.)

Obviously, these kids were not capable of using the internet in planning crimes, as Dr. Brucato addresses older violent criminals doing these days. The kids went public, rather than being silent behind a screen. They made a terrible choice, followed by a really foolish choice.
