Indeed.

[Codeflier]

Correct. Instant world wide news has caused this perception.

[ExpatCanuck]

Why does every last one of them involved in this look inbred? Time for some more lifeguards at the gene pool?

[gundog]

Your journalistic standards are dated.

[Round Earther]

The murder rate was much higher in the 1980’s than it is today.

Back then I knew a couple people that were murdered and my roommate at baseball camp hacked a random kid up with an axe a couple weeks after camp concluded.

[ealgeone]

I’d speculate we had that back in the 80s but just heard about the cases due to lack of information.

And weapons were clearly visible in student parking lots. Every truck had rifles or shotguns stowed on racks in the back window.

Nobody was shot. Plinking after school. Hunting on weekends.

[BradyLS]

Maybe the victim crossed class lines and the prep school kids did not like that.

Maybe. Those Academy kids had no class then, I’d say.

From Copilot:

“The surname “Raper” is of English origin, derived from the occupational name for a rope maker, and has historical roots in Yorkshire and Durham.”

White punks on dope.

Meth.

[BradyLS]

LOL!

Here's a video from Law&Crime Network which provides some additional information/insights on this case.

9 Teens Charged in South Carolina Love Triangle Murder

You can speculate all ya want. This isn’t even the same country as it was in the 80s. Time to reboot!

[TangoLimaSierra]

I can't imagine what kind of girl would even bother dating a guy with that last name.

I went to high school with a girl whose last name was Rape.

“I was a rural teenager in the 70’s and we ALL had access to guns, knives, etc. for hunting after school and before evening chores and supper.

Never in our wildest DREAMS would it of occurred to ANY of us to turn those weapons on one another!

Got a beef with someone? Boyfriend cheating on you with the Head Cheerleader? You duke it out, bare-handed, behind the dumpsters or under the bleachers. ;)”

Ditto for the 50’s too.

We all had access to guns, and even took them to school if going to spend the night with a friend, and were going to go hunting after school.

We are now living in a post Christian era. Back in the 50’s most every kid went to Sunday School/church, or at the very least knew what a Bible was. Not so much now. And, it’s only going to get worse.

It's just the rural America being urbanized, thanks obama....

South Carolina teenager Trey Dean Wright

Cheese and rice......

“It seems the victim was a public school football player...”

Once you go Public, you never go back.

[PLMerite]

Who in The Absolute Frack thinks they’re going to get away with something like this?

[Vaduz]

One would be hard pressed to get a three digit IQ out of that entire group.
