No sympathy from me in that regard. Yes, they're kids and kids sometimes do dumb sh!t but there are always consequences, and sometime you are lucky enough to say man when I was young I did xyz and it was dumb, other times you're dead.

IF more parents got involved in their kids lives and didn't view children as a right instead of a privilidge and responsibility, I think it would go a long way.

Whether you believe the bystanders "innocent" or not, the fact that they did nothing to prevent the premeditated attack makes them no less responisble for the crime.
