In my opinion, this is clearly a combination of the parents failure and mob mentality run amock. Fortunately, most kids both in my day and today are better than this. Hopefully, the parents of these hellions step up and dish out the appropriate discipline and make it a lesson they will never forget (doesn't necessarily mean physical discipline).

Thats cause this doesn't happen all the time now. It happens sometimes now, just like it happens sometimes back in your generation. It is exactly what you said it is, its mob mentality added to the fact that kids are stupid.
The issue here isn't how kids treat adults these days, its bullying and how people treat people. Old or young, the stuff said in that video is dumb to say to anyone. Death threats are nothing to laugh at and these kids do not deserve it - in fact, that kind of dumb ass behavior is probably why they think this stuff is appropriate. They deserve a normal discipline (i.e. CaptainCrunch, apologize to the women in person and do her yard work), but the over exaggeration (i.e. CaptainCrunch, have kids follow around and beat them up every day for 5 years) is dumb - and proof that even as adults, some of us are guilty of bullying and mob mentality.
NOTE: I am NOT defending what these dumb kids did - I'm saying the issue isn't something that is only happening to kids these days, or that its some evidence that kids these days are entitled blah blah blah. Bullying has ALWAYS happened - if it didn't happen to you or your school, lucky you.
