Escalation leads to fire

http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/11/02/teen.burned.recovery/index.html

In Florida a young boy is fighting for his life after a group of teens purposefully set him on fire after a miscommunication about a video game sale spiraled out of control. Reading this story I was shocked by the sudden escalation from a minor argument to such a violent act. This sort of retaliation for a $40 video game raises questions about youth and they're desensitization towards violence.
