Just a sign of the times, the chickens have come home to roost.

An alleged fight over a girl involving over 50 teenagers has left a 16-year-old student dead after being stabbed in the chest and an 18-year-old student charged in his death while many of the other teens took videos of the victim dying rather than helping to save his life.

Young people should not be left uncontrolled. Their brains are not fully developed, yet, especially the part responsible for morals, judgement etc. Young people, especially men, are ticking time bombs up to the age of 25 or so.

I read the victim was sent to a different school to help him “turn his life around.” That’s usually not a good sign. Not saying he deserved to die while others watched, but there’s probably more to this story.

Its sad that all these people chose to video to be the first on World Star instead of helping. Parents not establishing a moral compass for their kids

Really? I have sons who attended a high school with more than 4,000 students. None of them ever did anything remotely close to this kind of thing.

Probably because those students had parents and teachers that deserve those titles.
When I attended HS, there were two guys who I am pretty sure turned into criminals later on. Luckily I was able to switch to another school after one year. And that was long before the Internet and cell phones. Today it is even worse because there is a certain disconnect between physical reality and the sterile virtual world.

Even as a kid I knew not to stab folks or shoot up schools.. I just cared about drawing and videogames.

Another sign of the times; did some teenager compose that mess of a lead? Maybe it was just another impatient ghoul desperate to publish another "if it bleeds it leads" item before anyone else.

So I guess boys aren't ticking time bombs after all.

So sad. Too many children today have serious anger issues and zero self-control.

Eh...it seems like the victim was bullied. His sister said he was finally able to be himself at the new school.

From another student:

Quote:
“An innocent life to the hands of a nobdy (sic) over nothing,” wrote one man on Twitter. “Tyler Flach was in my bus 112 class in my first semester…he was the exact type of person you would think he is. His existence has only tormented others and now he has [allegedly] taken the life of a 16 year old who did not.”
