Dinner and a Movie and a Beatdown

Like a scene out of Never Been Kissed, three teenagers in New Jersey were arrested for setting a classmate up on a date only to have him humiliated and attacked. A 16-year-old girl in Morristown agreed to go on the date last week with a classmate who had been wooing her unsuccessfully for quite some time. But when the two arrived in the garage of the movie theaters at Headquarters Plaza, she stepped away so that her two male friends could jump him inside his car. When the victim ran for help, the two attackers drove off with his car. The boys have been charged with assault and carjacking, while the girl was booked for conspiracy to commit assault and permanently eradicating her admirer's self-confidence.

The sweetest revenge would be for the guy to have a long, successful career. It's a good bet that this girl will never get anywhere in life. Then at the reunion, he could show up as a CEO in his own limo while she has six bratty kids, an ex and no prospects for bettering herself.

kids from the ghetto are dying to get out of it, and rich kids are dying to get in.

Well put.

Bring back the stocks for little bastards who pull stunts like this. Set 'em straight.

Who wants to bet the poor kid's "revenge" comes in the form of an emo band?

I wish they would just hurry up and die already

Actually Morristown, and the surrounding areas are extremely wealthy and the schools are generally fantastic. I imagine this is a case of spoiled brat kids, crappy inattentive parents and a bit too much fake gangsterism. It's ad, kids from the ghetto are dying to get out of it, and rich kids are dying to get in.

Yikes, can't wait till teh 20 year reunion. She'll be setting up hits for the mob by then.

Most High School kids are total douche bags. Unfortunately, they don't change much later on in life.

Who the F#CK would find that funny? Sounds like a scene from a bad CW show (okay that was redundant).

And we often wonder why students who get picked on and beat up turn to violent revenge.
