How stupid are kids these days?

magnum by magnum · Sep 18, 2003 · Article · 247 views

Two kids took shotguns and went down the local freeway to shoot cars. Their excuse? "The boys told police they did not mean to hit people, but the results were catastrophic"

Story here

Were they only 8 years old? Nope:

"But for two stepbrothers, 16-year-old William and 14-year-old Joshua Buckner, that escape turned deadly earlier this summer. They told police they were emulating Grand Theft Auto on the night of June 25 when they took shotguns to Interstate 40, near their Newport, Tenn. home."

Just dumb inbred hicks obviously. How can you be 16 years old and not think shooting at cars on the freeway is even a remotely bad idea? I assume blaming the game is a natural thing, but common sense should clear up stupid ideas like this. This lawsuit should be aimed at the stupid parents of these kids, instead of the game companys' ( they deserve other lawsuits). Heck might as well sue a few movie studios while your at it. Heck any pg-13 movie has more random stupid violence in it then a game that was rated mature and they shouldn't have had.

Society is so sad that if you do something stupid there is always a excuse to blame someone else, not I am a retard and shouldnt have done something stupid like this but its not my fault this (insert retarded reason here) is why i did it.

BLEH!

I agree, sad to say no one wants to take responsibility in this system. Recently there was a lawsuit filed against Mc Donalds by an overweight person. The reason ?I am FAT because I ate from Mc Donalds? Not as bad than those stepbrothers?but the reasoning is just the same?

I was just thinking...Who will I sue if I become a fatboy from eating rice??
by the way Ian..its my 2nd time to post..hehehe

I think the two kids should be cained!!! we need corpral punishment. that would keep these retards off the streets. The fear of getting there buts kicked by some huge guy with a black mask and a bag of rocks, that he beats repeatedly over there heads and then plays home-run derby with there buts with a soak and wet cane on national TV. that would be an awesome reality show.

What about the kids from Mepham High School who sodomized thier team mates? Everyone knew but no one wanted to come forward! Till one of the kids couldn't stop bleeding!
So they cancelled the whole year of football. I say GOOD! And all the kids are upset! Not for the hurt the 3 boys that suffered. The whole team knew about this eventually and they should have come forth. But no, fear of ostracism. U can read more about it at Newsday.com. Sick stupid kids.
