Oh, for fuck's sake, people.

1. Yes, the kids are assholes, pack mentality or not. I don't doubt it was... But they deserve to be punished and have the shit scared out of them. Kids who grow up thinking it's okay to hurt and maim another living being - human or other animal - become adults who feel the same way. And there's a lot of studies supporting the idea that sociopaths are often the culprits of this kind of shit as children.

2. guccilvr, I normally enjoy and like you. But there isn't anything funny about this.

3. alansmithee, this is not a political discussion. There is only one point: this sucks, the kids who did it suck, and it was wrong morally ethically etc as humans for them to do it. You might consider that it's getting strong reactions because it's not some depraved terrorist, it's a bunch of 7-8 yo kids. That makes it worse.

4. Elphaba, again, I normally like you. Re-read, please. Marv was making a valid point. Yin and yang, basic principles. Pleasure does not exist without pain as contrast.

How is there any question that this is wrong?
