Teen Murder in Wake County

Maybe this was already a forum, and I missed it???

Today's headlines are too sad, too infuriating, to even contemplate.  Four teens murder their friend for no real reason.   Is this a wake-up call of outrage?  or just another cold-blooded murder that we dismiss with a shrug.   So sad.  Is this the world we want to live in?  Of courrse not.  Then what can we do?  The violence doesn't seem to be a rare aberration, but closer to an unsurprising event.   We are no longer in the projects -- those easily ignored poverty zones of violence that the majority of the middle class can ignore.  Violence is in uppermiddle class suburbia now.     Remember when smoking grass used to be scandalous!  We are talking group execution here.   By children.   The event seems too awful to even contemplate, still,  I think this is a good forum for discussion.  People should talk about community events like this.

We had a sort of running discussion on teens acting badly here: http://www.trianglemom2mom.com/content/whats-teens-these-days

But this case is certainly a great one to talk about. We don't know all the facts, but regardless, it's shocking.
