What really baffles me is "WHY" would such young people with their lives ahead of them ever contemplate joining criminal scum and murderers to kill other human beings.
We were all young once and even though we may have been impressionable I think the majority could tell right from wrong, most of the young people I grew up with had some sort of conscience.
Really disturbing that the youth today can be brain washed so easily.
What really baffles me is why anyone would suggest this is not all bad news...
I think you hit the nail on the head, we, as a society have gotten so caught up with vendetta punishment (i.e. revenge) rather than educative consequence...
In short, we have failed en masse to teach these kids right from wrong.
Now, saying that, when someone suggests that the rape and murder of a seventeen year old girl is not somehow bad news is it really a big leap to understand how these "young and impressionable" teens make such appalling errors of judgement regarding right from wrong?
It is truly disgusting that an important topic like this is treated as nothing more than a troll vehicle...
