Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

A&E documentary sours

I turned to an A&E documentary on a boy who had "anger control problems".  He threatened death to a teacher -- therefore, expelled from junior high school (8th grade).  So, he is at home, stewing.  During the interview the mother came across as, well ... non-too bright.  Hey!  He's got anger control problems and he proudly shows his marks of attack on walls and items.  What else does a angry youth need?  Yep, you guessed it ... guns.  He has a rifle on a mantle and his own shotgun.  That sure makes dealing with anger easy -- kill it.
 
Why did they air this?  Either it was all for show or he on the way to institutionation, aided by his mother.  Why not just have him arrested when he assaults her... nope, that would be smart and safe for society.  It makes for bad watching -- too happy of an ending.
