Juniors Tyler King and Jason Nelson were on their way to Roots Juice Bar on Saturday morning when they stopped dead in their tracks to gawk at the sight before them.

Apathy's toll

·

A woman bludgeons her pregnant friend, rips the fetus from the womb with scissors, kidnaps her other three children, drowns them and leaves their corpses to rot in the washer and dryer. A man uses MySpace to stalk six high school girls, takes them hostage in their school and proceeds to sexually assault each of them, before shooting one in the head and committing suicide. If these events in the past week haven't stopped you in your tracks and made you question your comfortable niche in the world, then you're either inhuman or numb.
