Thanks, Denby.  A very sad commentary on a young man gone awry.  Life experiences have certainly contributed to this young man's actions against defenseless birds.

Schools and parents often hear the ire of many when kids do wacko things.  Perhaps we have become a community that pays more attention when something is sensational or heinous...rather than  providing the everyday guidance and correction when our collective kids are young.  Developing a moral compass is day-to-day attention to the little things.  Tecnhnology, and filled calendars are detrimental to noticing and tracking our internal lives.
