The video of the kid getting punched is sooo hard to watch.
If this were my child, I would sue the school, the parents of the kid that hit him, AND the kids that cheered.

You can. I have two boys that are amazing. They are kind, compassionate, honest, loving, and know the value of family, respect and hard work. We limited TV, have always been active in their classrooms and always eat dinner together as a family. The oldest is off at school but calls every night to tell us about his day.
It can be done.
TV and movies was always violent. Maybe more so years back. Saturday morning cartoons were filled with violent content when I was a kid. We laughed and then went outside and playing baseball or something. It's a bullshit excuse for TV, movies, music, etc... to take the blame.
Exactly how many ways did Wile E Coyote try to kill the Roadrunner? And you can found tons of examples. the truth is the problem is parents not being parents.
While I agree that parents are no longer parenting, cartoons are just that ... cartoons. Children see movies, television, and celebrities in a way that they do not see cartoons.

the A-Team never killed nobody...Barney Fife only shot his own toe...the Walton's ate together and all went to bed around the same reasonable hour...
Everything is always someone else's fault and they always expect someone else to come in and clean up their messes and save them from the consequences of their own laziness and apathy. The self esteem generation of kids is going to be the downfall of this country because they don't have even the most rudimentary tools to survive in the real world and yet someday they are going to be running things. God help us when that day comes.
and then they come to DH's world for jobs..... last night's conversation:
DH- employee came to me to borrow a calculator, I asked why. employee stated he was preparing a package for shipment and was trying to multiply 8 by 7.
and in my workplace, many of the younger entry level employees do not know how to speak to customers, are disrespectful to the elderly, and talk like they are in the street. So we have to train them (notice I did not use the word educate) so they can interact appropriately and respectfully.
And the crime? It's off the charts. And the worse it is, the more humor they seem to find in it. We saw a fight in the parking lot of Walgreens a couple of years ago and the guys standing around were hooping, hollering and filming it. One older black lady starting yelling at them to stop that nonsense and they told her to mind her own business. Kids today talk to their elders like they are stray dogs. When I was a kid, the elder would have beaten my ass and then my parents would have beat my ass.
This ^^^^
Now you have to have your kid stand on the corner with a sign looking like a moron. Go back to smacking them on the ass and see how fast they turn around. ( and no, I don't mean beating your kids, big difference. I know some people are very touchy about this subject. )

Example, do not address an elderly person as "dude"

the TV, movie, and video game argument is a cop-out.
There are a whole host of other factors that play into it. My personal opinion is that genetics is finally catching up with us. We pass our crazy genes onto our children. Have children with other people who have crazy genes? Your kids are twice as likely to be farked up. For example, if you have any relation to this guy [wikipedia.org]you shouldn't have kids, IMO. I honestly don't think it all gets worked out over decades or centuries.
