I think it is absolutely appalling that kids so young think that violence is an acceptable reponse.

I mean really, how insecure do you have to be to look at someone and demand an apology from them, and when you dont get it, resort to violence.  Ridiculous!

Edited: BC I am not trying to be inflammatory.

I am appalled and horrified at how the four girls behaved.

Yes, the woman could have said "excuse me" or something after bumping into one of them - but they went lightyears beyond what might have been a reasonable reaction...........

Dollars to donuts, those girls would say she had it coming for bumping into them  .

We had a shootout in a fast food place because someone spilled a soda.  The "recipient" took out a gun and shot the spiller, which made other customers  take out their guns and start shooting.

One person was killed, several were injured.

The police chief refused to call anyone involved ( ALL gang members) a "victim".

I'm not sure if it was absolutely necessary but when I first saw that article online (not on this forum), i immediately thought of your post and how these girls would probably say the same thing about the woman they attacked. It was a very natural connection, though I'm not sure it was appropriate to post.

I don't think so. 
I guess Gui is just trying to make a point, because the other thread is of such concern.

No it was NOT necessary and you two "adults" should be ashamed of yourselves.  Ko-ko is a teenager and you two are adults.  Such behavior, in my opinion, is juvenile.  Also, Ko-ko NEVER justified violence and she certainly never justified physically attacking someone. 

While reading both of these replies, I envision sanctimonious piety dripping on the screen in ugly black.

And as far as etiquette and adult behavior, you two sure are giving Ko-ko a lovely example of how NOT to act.

Koko, e-mail me if you wish.
