This type of violence has been going on forever. It doesn’t surprise me at all. I’m only surprised that so many people here think it’s something new. The only difference today is that young people now whip out their phones and record everything and put it on the internet. So now everyone can see what happened.
Not at this level or frequency. The anger, mood and violence in the country is not good and it's increasing. And many of these are not isolated events. Don't believe me, ask any big city cop. The confrontational attitudes alone are hard to miss.
But that's an issue for another thread.
