These two were crazy. Maybe drunk or on drugs. "Goth culture," if anything, "drives" kids to spend all their money on art supplies or musical instruments. Scapegoating broad swaths of the population serves no purpose, and just scares people needlessly.

Love, Columbine
With that, I agree. I would fall under the "Goth" category - not Emo, Big difference! - but I've never taken drugs in life, never killed anyone, work for human rights, and my favorite video game is Kingdom Hearts! - It's hard to feel violent imagining a world where Mickey Mouse is the king. ( Anyone else play? I'm a total KH-junkie.)

What I'm trying to say is just because someone is goth, it doesn't mean they are a bad person. You can't tell what a person is going to be like because of the way they look.

Before I close, I want to mention something the article said - it said her parents "didn't approve of their relationship." Huh? If they didn't approve, why didn't they stop it? I don't know the exact laws of Canada but I do know they have laws against a 23-year-old dating a 12-year old child.
