Four Chicago teenagers charged with murder Monday afternoon for the vicious beating death of the 16-year-old Fenger High School honors student. Police said they were searching for at least three more suspects.

Whats really disturbing is the video, the people just watching, some cheering the beatings on. The poor kid whom got killed was not a gang member and had evidently stepped in to help.

I'ts the Chicago way... Yea that will be a great site for the olympics.

Yes sir, Chicago is such a proud city. However, a lot of cities suffer the same issues.

Tsá... nothing you can't see anywhere else. Actually, the current generations of teenagers (all around the world) are so much full of crap, that the meaner they get, the less it surprises me.

I think the description for the video at NothingToxic said it the best:
"If you watch this, and then watch the first 10 minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey, you'll realize we haven't evolved very much at all."

That some of you are alive to post here shows the past wasn't as bad as now.

Be cause of the permissivenes of parenting today '"ye reap what ye sow"

Just go shopping and watch how the parents let their kids run wild screaming and yelling and running into other customers.

These parents are oblivious to it and could care less.

So you're saying that the teenagers of the present are all going to be dead by the time they get to our age? That's a bit of an exaggeration I think.

This kind of **** has happened as much in the past as it does today, the difference is that news travels faster and further nowadays.

I'd say you're both wrong. Conquerors from Cyrus to Darius to Alexander to Caesar to William didn't get their backing just through force of personality. Those armies were full of young men who were in it simply for the chance to loot, pillage, rape and murder with some official sanctioning.

There have always been and will always be some who don't see others as human beings, but as objects for anything from derision to attack. And they're not so far from you and I.
