Thursday Crime Blotter 1

The media are stupid.

Regarding the murders in Medicine Hat this week. A 23-year-old man hooks up with a 12-year-old girl and the media decide the problem is …. The Internet. ?? This the angle they decide to play?

Whose agenda is being served here? The problem isn’t the Internet. The problem is the 23-YEAR-OLD MAN who’s dating a 12-year-old girl.

The National’s focus last night was all on goths, white supremacists and neo-Nazis and all the other evils of the Internet. Not a word about the 23-YEAR-OLD MAN in a relationship with a 12-year-old girl.

If only computers didn’t exist, the world would be safe.

yeah forget the goth thing
I agree that it's the 23 yr old w/the little girl
also: still not clear to me (the news reports seem conflicting) as to whether or not this is her own family she and the boyfriend killed

What, this sort of thing never happened before the internet? Sure.......older men never hooked up with underage girls before the internet.....hasn't the internet become a handy excuse for all the evils of the world.

Oh, I didn't know they weren't sure it was her family. That's new.
This reminds me of the movie Badlands.
