1 AM isn't unusual for a college kid unless you are a MSU Engineering student.

shit. God help him, his family and all of us. When do we wake up as a nation? When do we bring God Back?

More so than religion, parents not raising their kids correctly. WWII era parents were hard asses. Baby boomers worked against that hard ass attitude and sucked as parents and leaders. Baby boomer's kids sucked even more as parents on average. Hell baby boomers started participation trophy crap because they couldn't stand to see their kid not "win".

People need to learn early on that some people win and some people lose in everything including life. Too many soft parents out there.

My mom, who is 60, definitely let me know that participation trophies were bullshit and that sometimes you lose. I learned to deal with it by age 6.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hate it for this kids friends, teammates, and family. Hate to hear of this type of thing.

This is all well and good...but what on earth does it have to do with this story?

God never left.

Bully13 mentioned, "When do we bring God back?"
God has less to do with it than parents not raising their kids correctly, which includes church.

Kids are not trained to deal with issues and challenges in their life. They have no idea what and how adults should approach an issue. Which is one of the factors that leads to weak ass individuals that decide to go out and shoot people.

The homicide rate in the US is lower than it's been since the early 60's.

And I’d say if you were a MSU engineering student you’d be up to 1-3 am routinely if had to finish Dr. H’s homework.

My guess is he was getting a sandwich, which isn?t uncommon for a college student at 1AM.

Amen. +1

Which is why I ended up graduating in Management and Finance. I can't remember the teacher but he said if you needed to use a calculator then you wouldn't be able to finish the test. He was correct that I never finished any of this tests and that Engineering for me was Pre Business.

Read Freakonomics if you want to know why.

[VandelayIndustries]

There is video of it, very sad and sickening

[Tbonewannabe]

Care to give the cliff notes? I am guessing that the population increase is outpacing the homicide rate. So same number of murders but just more population to lower the rate.

That it's related to abortion. I don't buy that theory, and it also wouldn't matter anyway, in context of this discussion.

So he is attacking a guy and the guy shoots him?

Formerly posted on the poly board, but applicable in this situation:

"I won't weigh in on "who deserves what" because there's some "gray area" in this shooting imo, and I don't know the backgrounds on the participants...

But, I think some valuable lessons could be gleaned from this:

1) Don't be an asshole to people, because it's not nice and you may get your ass whipped.
2) If someone is being an asshole to you, try to be nice and not escalate things.
3) If someone is being an asshole to a family member, try to be nice and not escalate things.
4) If being nice doesn't work, and you insist on making it physical, be prepared to get a cap in your ass.
5) If you put a cap in someone's ass, be prepared to go to jail.

Follow these simple rules, and you, too, can live a peaceful existence.... well, at least live..."

Nailed it!

Quick video, with about 4 or 5 guys. Tough to see, but looks like Sims is going to swing on a guy and someone pulls a gun and shoots him.

Not to mention Dr. R?s homework. Also known as the H & R block, as in block you from graduating.

Nah, they just redefined what is homicide.

Funny how no one teaches this anymore.

True. Giod is here. But our society has tried its best to kick him out. Only a few stand up for Him. Familiar with England?
