These kids were not acting in self-defense. They brutally beat and killed a man in an act of revenge (not self defense), and they should be punished to the full extent of the law. Self-defense cannot be used, if the boy who was hit retaliates with a whole group of kids, with weapons. I would have understood more, if the ONE kid hit the guy with their fists a few times. It wouldn't have made the situation right, but then, I would say, "okay, maybe he needs some counseling". The kid who got hit would have then, had a strong case of self-defense. However, those kids MURDERED a man, and that's the bottom line.

I agree, and stated that in my previous post.

These children are a product of their environment; violence, poverty, neglect and chaos are an everday thing.

So am I. These children are'nt the only ones who've endured these conditions. The word of the day is
CHOICE. They chose to do this horrendous act, so they have to pay the price.

No. They are'nt beyond jail either; which is where they will be!
