our society going back 25 years or more. Things like this didn't happen back when I was growing up. If you would get in a fight it would be one on one and it ended when you knocked your oponent down... then maybe a kick in the butt, and that was it. Now, it's like a pack of animals attacking an intruder. I know some here will see it completely different and blame everything else in society to excuse this behavior. Kids learn this pack behavior by what they see and hear around them. When kids see it enough it becomes a normal behavior to them. Maybe someone else can enlighten me and please don't blame the schools or the govenment because they certainly don't teach this behavior.
