How does society get to the point where it's OK to hack a kid in the head with a machete?

Out of all those photos, the one you posted Durrasch had the biggest impact. I have gotten myself into trouble with people who do things like that.

Do you believe in miracles? Our college kids took on the best in the world, and we took the gold in one of the greatest moments in US history...I remember before it started, all the kids my brother played hockey with (no girl's hockey in California back then) knew the US couldn't stand up to the Soviet machine, my dad said we'd try our best, but we were really only hoping to get the bronze medal game, and wow oh wow...we took it all!
