Teen Violence

Two teens beat an 88-year old WW II veteran to death.  A teen shots a 13-month old child in the head.  Three teens shoot a student from Australia in the back killing him because they were bored.  All in one recent week.  These are just the ones we hear about.  Teens in Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston and any number of other places shoot each other every day.  Why?

All kinds of so-called experts come on TV every day to give some kind of psycho babble excuses that are more fairy tale than reality.  The reason is they are THUGS.  They listen endlessly to rap where women are degraded as bitches and ho's.  Law enforcement officers are portrayed as pigs.  Hatred for whites is prevalent in the lyrics.  Killing is glorified.  They endlessly play realistic video games of mass killings.   So what can be expected from teens with nothing to do but sit around all day and listen to this kind of trash and play these kinds of games?  There's something to be said for the old adage:  Idle hands are the devil's workshop.

I took the following from a Facebook post by my son.  I think it says it all.

"Still think video games don't precondition the mind toward the commission of violent acts?  Then, I suggest you give your 8-year old son a loaded 9mm, a new Xbox with Grand Theft Auto, and see how well you sleep the next few weeks."
