Youth gone awry-murder at a track meet

[HayesGreener]

Multiple lives destroyed by this senseless act of violence. How does a 17 year old arrive at such depravity? Athletics in my youth taught respect for rules and sportsmanship, but instead we have this. What happens when children of this ilk leave school and go out into the world as adults? Stay heeled when you can, my friends.

Saw this on the news, very tragic.
I’ve been watching videos about traffic stops and it’s disgusting how the youth nowadays act. Then the young person’s parents get involved and it becomes very clear why their kids act the way they do.

I never got a “Time Out”. I did get the “Stand in the Corner” for minor infractions and “The Razor Strop” for Major FU’s plus groundings and No TV. No Friends. No Bike plus extra chores.

I didn't have to stand in the corner butt stand I did cause I couldn't sit down!

that's right, back in my day (our day?) we got a whipping we'd never forget...Marshal Law ruled in my (our houses?)...i'll go one step further, my gran dad would give me a whipping as well, back in those days, my relatives would wallop us, as they had permission to do so.

Yep. Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child! or in my case a belt, or Razor Strop, or whatever was readily available

Before belts, strops, rods, etc can be administered, there has to be a dad in the house.
