AXJules - Thanks for the info.
However, I don't care how many ways you slice it (and by you I don't mean AXJules, I mean in general), there is no excuse for this kind of behavior at all. End of story.
And I think it should be on the National News - in hopes of preventing anything like this from happening anywhere else. Our society needs to realize that you cannot treat other people like garbage under the guise of "Hey, it's not like we killed someone!". Obviously these kids' parents aren't teaching them that, so maybe the news will.
