What a tragic and preventable case. Kids don’t need the internet.

These events likely would not occurred entirely as they did in earlier times. Daynes, if he had been alive then, would have more likely sought to kill someone he was more closely acquainted to, rather than a distant associate.

With the Internet, you can be in contact with people over geographical distances who share your interests. Whereas before the Internet, that kind of contact could only be done through letters (which took time to write, send and deliver) and those who committed murder typically did not travel long distances away from home to commit it.
