What! brutally murdering another human because you don't like them. Lock those boys up melt the key and weld the door shut. So sad that they can't get the death penalty.

My heart really breaks for Ambers parents. As for the boys they are just victums of what our society has become.Maybe they will serve as lesson for others who are so callused.

I stand by the saying "An eye for an eye". It is quite clear this was an intentional killing. He should be punished to the fullest extent of the law and some.
