I think it's important to keep this in perspective also. I'm not making excuses I hope these kids get what they deserve and then some. But I don't think they were all zombie killers like a lot of the people freaking out over this are saying. I was at Winter Blast with my family [[including 2 teenage daughters) Satuday night between about 7 and 9. I noticed right away there were a lot of young teenagers hanging out doing the boy meets girl thing. Now with cell phones and texting I guess that someone says "lets go to Winter Blast" or "let's go to the Riverwalk" and next thing you know you have a few hundred kids in the same place. I've been around long enough to know trouble brewing when I see it so we left. It's not a new story, you get a bunch of teenagers in one spot, most are innocent but a few looking for trouble. Somebody looks at a girl the wrong way and fights break out. That's what happenned at the Riverwalk this summer, after Belle Isle became an unwelcome place for these teenagers. They put a curfew in place at the Riverwalk, plus some undercover cops, and pretty much squashed it.
