A good indication of a messed-up society

Five Philadelphia teens have been arrested and will be charged with murder for a brutal and unprovoked assault on a Starbucks manager who committed no other sin other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time: http://www.philly.com/inquirer/home_top_stories/20080403_Four_more_Gratz_teens_charged_in_subway_death.html. The reason that these degenerates attacked him? There was none. They have already admitted that they did it on a lark.

If that isn't awful enough, there was one part of the article which just blew my mind:

A youth who would give his name only as Ty said he was walking into school when a teacher called out, "Turn around!" Ty stopped on stairs and stepped back as a procession of police went past. He could tell they had someone in custody, but he couldn't tell who.

"I've never seen no cop come into the school and take somebody out," he said yesterday, wondering which of his classmates had been arrested. "We probably know every last one of them."

Ty, 15, said he was interested to know whether the youth already in custody had identified the other alleged killers.

"Me personally, the way I was raised, I wouldn't snitch," he said.

I can't even begin to comprehend the mindset that would think this way. I don't know "Ty's" last name, but he is unquestionably a sociopath in the making.

In Georgia some third graders were planning an attack on their teacher.
