Yea. When you approach random strangers with kitchen knives you can expect trouble. You might even be shot dead.

Tennessee man shot, killed after YouTube video 'prank' goes wrong

Timothy Wilks, 20, was killed after he approached a group of people with butcher knives as part of a "prank" robbery, police said.

www.nbcnews.com

"When officers got to Urban Air in the city's Hermitage neighborhood about 9:20 p.m., they learned Timothy Wilks, 20, and a friend approached a group of people, including David Starnes Jr., with butcher knives as part of the prank."

When I was 12 I would have thought this amusing.

Long before I was 20 I would have learned thats incredibly fuckin stupid and dangerous.

I dont think parents today are raising kids to be very smart.

Normally I would say something Anti-Gun, but I am drinking Merlot and kinda feeling like saying, "Good Shoot".

I'd say parenting these days is a lot more safety conscious than it ever used to be. I can't say whether this event reflects a difference in general behavior, but if it does and relates to parenting, I'd say the deficit lies somewhere other than attention to making safe decisions.

I agree. Kids are way too sheltered on everything. I know there are several kids who live in my neighborhood which is on a cul-de-sac and I'm at the entrance. I rarely see any kids. You could not keep me in the house when I was a kid. I went to a park with a creek in it without parental supervision when I was 4 (got my picture in the NoVa Sun, defunct). I guess my parents were horribly irresponsible.

I know my brother and I were at most 5 and 7 when we were going out in the woods behind our house to the creek unsupervised. My Dad said when he was young, it was normal for parents to leave a baby in a shopping cart outside when they went in to grocery shop.

Kids now a day are way smarter than I was but today's kid is missing the "street smart" that anyone pre 1980 learned the hard way.
