Yet another example of how violence has permeated the American psyche through media. "Friends"? Sad.

2-year-old Wisconsin girl stabbed 19 times; friends arrested
They thought they had something to prove to someone they found on a ghoulish website, police say. So, two girls allegedly lured a third girl into a wooded area in Waukesha, Wisconsin, over the weekend and stabbed her 19 times, according to authorities.
The suspects allegedly left the victim to crawl to her own rescue. The three girls, all 12 years old, were friends, according to a criminal complaint.
A bicyclist found the wounded girl alive Saturday, lying on a sidewalk in Waukesha, Police Chief Russell Jack said. She was in stable condition at a hospital Monday.
The girls were trying to impress a certain "Slenderman," the complaint read. One of the girls encountered the name on a website known as Creepypasta Wiki.

Rampant killing and violence in media
Proliferation of guns with social acceptance.
Kids are simply a byproduct of their environment.
and i'm not sure what guns have to do with this girl getting stabbed.
Nineteen fucking times. My god.
Also not sure how righteously fingers can be pointed (just) at media.
No parents in the picture? No guidelines for simple decency?
This version of what happened gives me the chills:

It's not limited to America nor just to human beings.
Now...needlessly violent? Another story.
And if guns are a part of that violence, so are knives, fists, ballbearings, and on.
I hope this thread doesn't sidetrack into yet another discussion about guns (we've got enough!) but maybe one of how some young souls have been raised - or not - to become this fucked up.
here's a cool article from the early 80's. gonna try and dig up some older stuff for ya too.

I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."

She was stabbed with a gun?
It is the lacking of moral fibers.
Especially considering that 2013 saw 39 executions in the USA. Capital punishment is hardly an overwhelming force or causal factor motivating these two misguided youths to go stab a peer trying to please the 'slender man'.
Argument aside... it would be much more accurate at this point to say this is a case of two immature and slightly stupid kids void of love, void of good parenting, void of social acceptance and left to their own devices which led them to formulate and execute a really bad plan... instead of suggesting the Death Penalty or Obama made them do it.
Oh BTW Think killers are scum and when I hear of kids getting killed by some sick fk like to dip them in sugar and hang upside down on fire ants but realize not healthy and wrong.
However, when you offered your examples to validate your point, the first one you listed was the DP. I sought to point out to you that 39 executions in one year is hardly an epidemic nor a causal factor behind these two girls thinking they were doing something supernatural.
Your other examples were fair- although I'm not quite ready to suggest the MMA leads to deranging minds.
Every human being has strong and innate violent tendencies. This is why effective parenting is required. Kids will not develop into compassionate people capable of empathy on their own. Left unloved and to their own devices, the potential is there to develop into what we have read about here. Strong parenting and education has kids reconcile the violence in the world and the decent way to behave.
