Even though it was stupid, it was still a poor 9 year old child that was killed. The thing that sickens me the most is the knowledge that if this had been an American kid, every single one of you would say something about this being tragic.

I'd say "another dumb american kid got eaten by a crocodile after deliberately climbing over the fence into its compound and then maltreating them? Good!". I'm sickened that people can't seem to have any personal accountability any more. If anyone other than the idiot kid was to blame it would be his parents. Where were they when their son was hitting crocodiles with sticks? Frankly if you're this stupid you have no-one to blame but yourself. It may be different if it was a 5-year old that wandered in if the gate was left open but a 9-year old is (at least in the UK) assumed to be aware of their own actions, and surely, surely aware that crocodiles eat meat?

The other kids probably got away from trespassing and animal abuse with the boys will be boys routine.

Hey, how come I did bomb my school when I was in 8th grade? I really hated my teachers and principle and would probably gotten away with that routine. I guess as a minor, you can get away with anything.

I see no problem here. Idiot kids willingly provoke dangerous wild animals with catapults and wooden sticks. One of them lost...at life. Tough ******.

It's the Chinese Government secret population control mechanism at work. It's working as intended.

That is the definition of owned. Beat and hit the crocs with a catapult. Croc drags your dumbass into the pool where him and his friends proceed to rip you apart and eat your alive.

btw I think Jack Handey from SNL fame wrote something along similar lines.

When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.

dude, how many more students have to be killed before we stop the madness.. just like the VT killings, if the students were armed with guns they could have protected themselves... but since none of them were armed.. an innocent kid has to be murdered.

The children shot the animals with catapults and beat them with wooden sticks," the agency said. "One of the irritated crocodiles bit Liu's clothes and dragged him into water, where he was eaten by a swarm of crocodiles."

It's no wonder the croc attacked.

Local residents said the park's owner had hired a keeper for the crocodiles, but it was not clear why the man was not at the site when the students broke in, the report said.

The manager and the keeper were being held by police.

Why is the keeper being held when it was the kids who broke in? :confused:
