I was bothered by this news article.
There is a mentality shown here that seems pretty common among the freshman college crowd. I want to call it idiocy, but there's more to it. Those kids likely had no idea that their actions were anything other than playful silliness. They might have had a hint that they were acting like bullies, but if they had any idea, they wouldn't have risked 5+ years in prison for this crap. They're going to learn a hard lesson in all of this. It's a lesson they could have learned as children or teens, but instead they are learning some very basic concepts as adults, and destroying everyone's lives in the process.
