Welcome to Thunderdome

Kid kills her friend for the promise of $9M among other crimes.

"For all of the good the internet can do, it can be a dark place and parents would be wise to monitor the activity of their children online," he said.

He's right, but this isn't "the web's fault". This kid was fucking broken. End of story. Offer me $100M to kill an innocent and I'm going to say no. Especially to a stranger with no proven resources to pay me. (Make the person someone evil and the answer changes.)

There's only so far "But the internets!" is going to take you when trying to place blame with something like this.

No internet, no these people getting in touch with each other. But yeah, they were fucked up to begin with
