There's a difference between being at fault and knowingly putting yourself at risk. These kids are obviously doing the latter. This isn't claiming the slutty dressed girl got what was coming to her... this is two rival groups fighting each other and not acting surprised that someone got beat up when they put on their uniform.</p> @Raul23: I’m well aware this thread is long since ignored, but I am gonna respond anyways… There’s a difference between being at fault and knowingly putting yourself at risk.

Even in the saddest of circumstances it is ok to take a step back and realize that every single person involved in this conflict is totally retarded; be it the emos who can totally avoid beatings by opting to not wear eyeliner on a particular night but choose not to, to the metal heads who are so bored they need to beat up the emos, to the TV personalities who have taken the time to take a serious in-depth stance on the entire ridiculous scene.
