Wow.
Didn't really provide much in the way of comedy, but it is definitely an insight into current norms of behavior in some urban behavior being more than a little warped. If someone outright attacks you or your family, by all means - go to war.
But a solitary scrawny kid nervously using words should be met with disbelief and ridicule, not fists or a knife. I guess I could see that reaction if it was at night, with no throngs of people in attendance, but regardless those two are pushing their look for the sake of attention. That one about the kid getting shot for the dye is horrible!
I hope that story stays in the news for as long as possible. Call it wishful thinking, but maybe these bored teens who think they're funny would consider alternate attention whore tactics, ones that don't carry as much potential for injury and murder.
