[Husker] Oklahoma Recruit Murdered

[gzimmerman at everestkc.net]

I hate to sound like a geezer but..............

Back when I was that age, if you had a "disagreement" a fist fight would ensue. When one person had the upper hand the other would give up and that was the end of it. 

Now you punish the other guy. You bounce his head off the the concrete pavement, you try to really hurt him.

It's a sad reflection on where society is heading.
