There is criminal behavior in every community committed by people of all ages, colors, races, education level, and economic classes. I think that this particular case has been so newsworthy because there is a videotape. If it bleeds, it leads. It is visual and vicious. Additionally, there is the upper class component. These are rich kids who go to a good highschool, so they ought to know better. That is what a lot of people think, and it bother me. No particular class or race has a monopoly on morality and decency and character. If you induldge children and don't correct them when they behave poorly, criminal behavior can be the result. It doesn't matter the race or class.
