the other night the lights went out and i thought instantly, "am i being creepycrawled by crazed hippies?" luckily i am a sensible sort, but the thought DID cross my mind.

A friend of my younger brothers killed his foster parents. My cousin's daughter was killed and they never found the killer to my knowledge.

During freshman year in high school a few male classmates were hanging out at one of their houses with no parents at home. The father of the household was the chief detective with the local police. The kids got their hands on his 22 and decided to play russian roulette. The nicest boy in the entire class was there and when his turn came to play the "game" he shot himself point blank in the head. He died instantly. The official story released said the detective thought the gun was unloaded... how can a police officer who is used to handling weapons miss a slug in the chamber? Why was the gun not locked up in the first place? Smell a coverup?

During my junior year there was a very creepy and rather malicious guy in art class. He never participated (the teacher was also frightened of him). He just sat on the windowsill during the entire class and sneered at everyone. One day a male student disappeared. His body was found in a wooded area by his home. He had been shot point blank in the head and sodomized. The following day the creepy kid in my art class showed up as usual but I could feel something was really wrong with him. He showed no emotion at all. The next day he was out of class as the police pulled him in for questioning and he confessed to the murder. Since he was underage at the time he spent a minimal time in jail and is now alive and well living down south somewhere.

The nice boy who sat in front of me in homeroom and other classes for four years was stabbed to death the summer after graduation over a pot deal gone bad.

A teenage nephew of a friend of mine was shot to death.

A sister of another friend was shot in the head by her husband and died. He spent less than ten years in jail was released and he immediately filed for custody of the kids. Needless to say he didn't get custody.

All of this happened in "safe suburbs" (at the time) in NJ. America is a very violent country. Just turn on the TV. I agree with the poster regarding the media promoting violence and how it effects people especially teenagers.

A co-worker's uncle was murdered by his girlfriend. And another co-worker at the same job lost her son to a drunk driver, which is at least negligent homicide.

Nope, luckily enough I don't. Murder is very rare here though, we get like maybe 1 murder in 20 years where I live.

Mom was killed by vehicular homicide. I have to go to court in a couple months and look at that guy. He is getting a jury trial. I don't know if that is standard or not.

Yes. My friends uncle, who was also my brothers childhood friend, is currently in prison for murdering a girl. However, it's rumored it was more his now ex-wife, who happens to be my brothers ex-fiance's sister, than him who did the killing. But she turned states evidence & got off with a slap on the wrist while he went to prison.

I also have a cousin who mysterously drown in a local lake before I was born. And I worked with a lady who's son was murdered during the time I worked with her.
