Why is it that every time something like this happens there is a crowd that's just waiting to point the finger at the internet and videogames? It's ridiculous to think that stopping the evolution in our technology will somehow bring about peace and love across the world.

we should stay away from computer & read the bible instead otherwise we are going to hell

when were they arrested because some of them were online on the 8th, unless their friends had their paswords and decided to log on..


well, if they EVER get out of jail, then they will be having TONS of friends requests lol

Call them?
Kick their stupid asses.

****ing losers, really. Poor girl.

Well we are unable to "kick their stupid asses" from over here. We we leave that to the people in jail to do that.

OMG, idiot!

Dr.Phil has bailed out one of the girls involved in the beating just to get her on his show. Ridiculous.

Full story here: http://www.local6.com/news/15867838/detail.html

She wasn't kidnapped, they invited her over and she went ...

^And then wouldn't let her leave. It's called luring and kidnapping.

Zero-offense to the poster, but the title of this thread is absolutely pathetic/FOXNews-like.
This isn't Myspace's fault. (Did you see any of the 3 characters in the logo and Tom in that video?)


And Dr. Phil, who is more of an entertainer than an actual doctor, should stay out, this won't help anyone but his ratings in this situation.


However being charged as adults is the justified first step.

^Don't you know people love to point fingers? I saw an interview where one of the attacker's parents said "I hate the internet, I hate it" as if she's putting blame on the net before her own daughter and possible bad parenting.

I do think DR.Phil will likely get a boost in ratings for this even though it was a stupid thing to do. Then again, if he wasn't the one to do it I bet there would a line of other TV shows that would do the same thing.

Doesn't make it right.

This whole situation makes me sad..

Lets just blame the internet for our problems...

Kidnapping and beating up someone- Myspace made me do it.
Robbing a store- "I saw a guy do it on youtube and wanted to be just like him"
Killing someone- "My friend on ATRL sent me a PM telling me to do it."

Yeah blame the internet...I mean since we don't have free will and can't make our own decisions. We obviously need the internet to tell us what to do [/sarchasm]

Internet and "heavy metal music".

Korn made me beat up a girl.
Marilyn Manson made me shoot at a police car.
Limp Bizkit made me break stuff.

so does anyone... knwo the sentencing to this :-/
