Sorry, but this particular news item was too disturbing to pass up:
via Switched:
One hardcore gamer in Fort Pierce, Florida, who couldn't wait the 30 days for the [xbox 360] repair. He demanded his mother order him a new one and, when she refused, threatened her with a knife. The man, 19-year-old Roman White, had just been released from jail the previous Sunday, and is already back behind bars on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
So, this kid goes to jail, gets out and tries to assault his mother for not buying him a new toy, then one hour later I learn of assaults on two campuses here in town, and to round off the trinity of disgusting violence I hear some analyst of something on CNN mention hat violent up two years in a row. I know this has nothing to do with music per se, but why is everyone so angry all the sudden?

Well to be honest Caleb don't be too scared. The chart only shows the perceived age of offenders. What people think they see in stressful situations such as an assault and what they actually see are completely different things. There has been massive research into it and its strongly affected by trends in the media and peoples prejudices. So don't worry.
