Derrion Albert, 16. Was beaten to death by 4 Teen gang members outside of his school during a gang fight that didn't involve Him. Derrion was said to be only a pedestrian watching the fight when He was beaten with a railroad track piece and stomped on the face by a 17 year old.
How did our youth become so violent? Are we to young to realize that killing is a sin? Do we realize that we are actually ending someones life. That is like stealing in a sense! Why are youth gangs so popular now? These are the questions I asked myself while reading this article.
My title "Gears of War > Real Life" is talking about this video game called "Gears of War" which is a very violent game where the main way to kill an enemy is to repeatedly stomp there head into the concrete. There is a video of this beating on Derrion on CNN and all over Youtube. I wouldnt advice watching it but its there if you want to. The only way police actually solved this crime was because someone did record this video and put it on Youtube.
School was closed on friday for this school and the 4 teens involved in this crime are going to prison on account of 1st degree murder and the students are 17 and under but there being tried as adults on this murder case.
I will never know why we kill. Even in these genocide's we all know as "War" because In my mind this is just another case of murder.

I agree, humans should not kill oneanother like this. this is why i support coorpral punishment, i think if you are the kind of thing that beats someone to death with a piece of railroad for satisfaction, then you deserve death you are beyond help you are no lonnger a human being and you will never be one again its harsh but if we just say oh you killed someone in horrible ways, have free room and board for life, no we need to discourage these people so that less crimes are commited not more
