That was my first thought too. "What is wrong with our kids today?" I had to actively calm myself down and remind myself that I've been hearing about incidents like this since I was a teen (I'm 51 now). The social media aspect is new, yes. But the behavior, no. Even the people who jump in and defend indefensible behavior and the people who blame the victim have been around for as long as I can remember. It's puzzling but not new.
