O.T. Knife Attack

Just more symptoms in a society in decline. :(

Here's some of the other headlines from the same link...

Life is cheap on this earth... :grumpy:
 
Good ol' Valpo. If this HAD happened in Gary then it probably would have been with a 9mm and not knives. You take an emotionally troubled kid in a high pressure situation like highschool and ANYTHING will become a weapon. When i was a junior or senior in highschool some kid lost his mind in autoshop because another kid was teasing him and tried to run him through with one of those really long flathead screwdrivers. Luckily they stopped him before he even got close, but i think that would have been a lot more life threatening than a slash. Maybe we Hoosiers are just weird and violent;)

I know this might shock some of you, but this kind of violence and immorality is basically a constant in human history.
It is about the same for every culture and in every time period.
There never were any "good old days."
The only thing that has changed has been education, technology, population density and the ability to report crimes to a wider audience faster than before.

Mass murder is nothing new, at least we have a better system of justice to deal with it these days.
 
You are right on target, with never were "good old days".
(Although many Cherokee elders tell stories of the time of the great tree of peace.. ... guess there are exceptions for some pockets in time and locations)

It's an even more dangerous world than in the past, with the level of sophistication of weapons, and terrorists.

I am amazed at living in the suburbs sometimes. I'm glad there is less violence here, but it is strange to see so many people with no awareness of the dangers that are out there in our society.
