Question
Hi,
Is it true to assume that the death of those people could have been avoided if there was an easy way to report Youtube videos to the police?

Yep, the shooting in the other country. Isn't it sad that we can't report those cases faster?

Talk later,
Dan


Question public to get people talking

Answer
Dan, it seems to be the sorry case that many young people don't see the danger in what they consider "games" that other young people play.  When someone posts something like, "...their day will come...I will take my toll!", they pass it off as someone mouthing off...and when the person makes a move, it's as if there was nothing to suggest it was going to happen.  To give you an example of what I'm talking about when it comes to young people not doing what is right, I remember a case in northern California years ago where a high school student killed a girl and threw her body down a ravine.  He told other students about it and they drove out and saw her body as did about a dozen students.  No one dropped a dime and called the police.  It was as if there were devoid of any emotion whatsoever.  Not a nice story, but as they say, "sad but true."
