This is sickening and heartbreaking. The girl who incited this should also be held accountable.

Prayers for this boy and his family and friends.

In your persistant attack on BykrBayb's simple and logical statement that the perps had been shaped by their childhood experiences. Violent video games do train for violent lives.

There is nothing "simple and logical" about BykrBayb's statement. There is zero evidence that the perps learned how to commit deadly assault from a video game. That's simply ignorance on parade.

If you believe that a video game is responsible for this assault, you might as well believe that John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan because he watched a movie ahead of time.

But hey, when you figure out the title of this supposed video game that teaches people how to perform a group beating on a school kid, let me know.

You are making an unconnected and unreasonable demand and you know it.

If the assertion is that video games are responsible for teaching the assaulters that it is okay to be violent, then it should be relatively simple to name this mystery game. That is not unreasonable. In fact, it's a key supporting detail of the entire argument. If it exists, it has a name. What is that name?

What's your connection to this issue that's leaving you so hypersensitive to it all?

I would argue that you are the one demonstrating hypersensitivity, inasmuch as you weren't even originally part of this subdiscussion to begin with. But to answer your question, it is bad when people are wrong, and it is worse to allow them to remain wrong. BykrBayb would be just as wrong if she had claimed mind control rays from UFOs had influenced the behavior of the thugs who attacked this kid.

There was no mysterious work of fiction that taught these kids how to be violent. Certainly, BykrBayb cannot name this dastardly video game, because it doesn't exist. You want to know why middle and high school kids are increasingly violent? Google for "thug culture," not "Xbox 360."

There is zero evidence that the perps learned how to commit deadly assault from a video game.

And there is zero evidence that I made such a claim, and plenty of evidence that I didn't. But like you said, the facts don't matter. It's the seriousness of the charge that counts.

That's simply ignorance on parade.

Is that the best excuse you can offer?

Why are you hypersensitive about violent video games? If you hope to convince anyone that there's no such thing as violent video games, maybe you shouldn't act like you're addicted to them.

What video game are you talking about?

It appears the school has enabled a hostile environment contributing to black on white racial violence. Criminally, the taxpayers will pay for this rather than the government occupation establishment.

What video game are you talking about?

This is the question you've been asked to answer for the last couple of hours.

And there is zero evidence that I made such a claim, and plenty of evidence that I didn't.

One more time: you replied to my reply of post 35. By stepping in to defend said post 35, you were assenting to the views contained within: if you didn't assent, you wouldn't have bothered to launch a defense in the first place. So, once again: which video game did the assaulters play that taught them that it was right to attack a middle school kid?

If you hope to convince anyone that there's no such thing as violent video games, maybe you shouldn't act like you're addicted to them.

I hope to find out exactly what game it is you believe set the stage for this assault. There are indeed violent video games that comprise a small percentage of the total amount of video games available for play. None of those games involve severely assaulting middle school kids, which is the glaring fact that renders your assertion in post 66 baseless.

I read all of the posts prior to posting...

Based on your replies over the last couple of hours, I highly doubt this. You seem to have a distorted view of exactly who posted what and why.

you don't have to grow up in the inner city to sense fear when certain people are in the vicinity...

we learn from an early age....no one has to tell us....that there are evil,animalistic people on this earth...

this crap must stop....parents must defend their children even if it means going to jail themselves...because the govt don't care..

I lived in that area. The attackers were black and the reason for the attack was the girl who was accidentally hit by a basketball told her “tough” friends she was “dissed” by the a white boy. That’s all it takes to rile up the animals.

My guess is that every attacker was black and it was completely racially motivated. It’s happening all across the country, and it’s gotten much worse since zero took office.

This wasn’t a fight. It was a beat-down.

HUGE difference. Words mean things.

Notice the media posts a photo of the victim but none of the perps. Notice that when it’s a boy victim getting beaten, they list his name but not the perps’ names. If this was a girl who was raped and beaten, they’d list the perps’ names and photos but not the victim’s.

Disgusting media swine are protecting the scumbag blacks who did this just like they always do. People, myself included, have had just about enough of these racist attacks and the media silence. We outnumber them 8:1, probably 4:1 when you take away all the white guilt candyasses, and we’ve got the guns and the ammo. If blacks want to keep this up and bring a race war down on themselves, they will lose hard and I am ready any time.

...two of them required to wear ankle bracelets.

They should be wearing a ball and chain instead.

The family of that white kid should sue the school district to provide their kid with a whites-only bus because it was a racial attack. That kid has a right to ride the bus in safety. Make the damn school pay for it. Then things will change, especially when the 5th or 10th parent does it across the country.
