Ha! I was wondering how long it would take for somebody to blame this on video games.

I am not blaming this on video games. I very clearly said that most kids don't kill others. I don't even know if either one of these kids played video games.

My intended point to another poster was only that when you think it through, our kids are being desensitized to violent death. My point is only that in general, this can NOT improve people's lives and interaction with and empathy for others.

We all have free will, even at 14. This girl made many bad choices before this one.

However, if you are honest with yourself, you can see how sometimes we little by little set ourselves, and sometimes our children, up for making very, very horrible decisions.
