trivialized is an understatement.. guess they were overheard by prison guards laughing and talking about "will I make cheerleading practice tomorrow?"
beer.. iono. I got jumped too.. several times, in the past. sure, it happens. doesn't make it okay. and they didn't just run up on her, they called her to come over to their house, locked her in, had lookouts out front, and whooped her a$$. again, the clip we've all seen is but a small part of the actual beating from what I understand.
life imprisonment?? hayul no.. but some serious probation and a criminal record I got no problem with. make 'em think twice next time, and hopefully be "A LESSON" to anybody else who was thinking about this kind of violence.
It was wrong and yes they did it with the intent on hurting her. I am not saying it is right to do but it happens everyday, this one just happen to be caught on tape. I will tell you a story next time I see you, something similar that happened to me that I dont care to go into online. Of course they deserve to be punished but trying them as an adult and giving them felonies is pointless. They are not even at age to work but lets make sure most good companies dont give them a shot because of something they did when they were kids. Lets completely ruin all chances of them learning from this stupid act and throw the book at them so they just get worse.
If you see a bunch of adult people fighting what is the first thing you think of? Most people say "look how childish that is". But when children do it now we want to charge them as an adult for a childish act? Pot, this is kettle calling
