jeez... i know that there's some ritual "coming of age" that high schoolers must do as they progress (i was on both sides of the bar back in the day, but it was all innocent enough), but this is beyond some silly prank... it seems like sections of society and groups of people have de-evolved into mobs of unthinking unfeeling degenerates. it makes me ill to know that these ways of thinking have passed down into people so young. it'd be one thing if this was a real fight between people, but for one group to balntantly brutalize another "in good fun" is maddening. i don't even know how situations like these can be prevented, but to encourage people to teach their children (and themselves) to think. truly think about themselves, others, and the world around them. it's the only way to fight madness.
