How (not) to make friends and influence people
6 11 2007Ever been tempted to murder someone?
Not your usual post opener, I know, but I mean really, have you?
I’m sure most of us have gotten annoyed with somebody and promised them, in a moment of pure idiocy, that you’ll be reaching for the kitchen knives any moment now.
This is different though.
A 16 year old boy from Maryland was caught plotting to murder his parents. It gets better. He was caught “in the act” by an undercover police officer masquerading as a hit-man. The boy was reportedly taken to the meet by one of his friends parents, apparently that person wasn’t too keen on the parents either!
There will undoubtedly be the usual crap associated with these cases, you know what I mean don’t you. People scrambling to place blame squarely on video games, movies or TV. Maybe, just maybe he’s a screwed up kid, an article on the Times online gives the full story so I’ll let you make up your own mind. It does state however that this kid had been in trouble with the law before, surprise, surprise.
