Yah, reminds me of the waterhole scene in Kubrick’s 2001.
I saw some post on HuffPo that blamed society as whole for this murder and broke it down into a list. Of course it started with Republican cutting “social programs”—because gang bangers are too tired to kill after Midnight Basketball—and continued to include everybody except the guy who actually swung the bat. I was surprised they didn’t blame “Big Timber” for giving them the means to commit murder with scrap lumber.
