Football is more important than Crime apparantly

I keep reading things like......"it's just kids being kids. They fight and they knock each other out. It's sad but that's the way it is".
Perhaps it's attitudes like these that caused things to get so far out of hand.
I'm 50 years old and when I was in high school there were plenty of fights. There were blackened eyes and bloody noses but we sure as hell didn't try to knock each other out.
How far do we let kids just being kids go? When a fight turns into manslaughter?
It seems to me the attitudes here are nothing but enabling.
Perhaps if it was your son that was knocked out, or your son facing the court system for knocking someone out, you may feel differently.
Stepping off my soapbox now.

It's nice to see some common sense in this topic.

Both kids and parents need to be held responsible for their actions. And this isn't an "age" thing; I agree with you David T., but my "outside" was Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox. :lol:

so you really wouldn't know anything about kids knocking other kids out

Out when he hit the road? These things happen. It is in today's society, this is a damn shame in part of growing up, but it is how to do. Is there a way to stop it.
