if you were with your mates and they wanted to beat someone up you would join in it for "fun" because you don't want to be a party pooper.
so you are being a hypocrit.
death is too good for these scumbags.keep them alive and make them suffer and let others see them suffer.

Why did no one bring up the obvious reason?
The gun culture in America. The glorification of the gun..etc.
But the gun enthusiasts will say and do anything to avoid the obvious connection.

Cris Lane, a young Australian man who was in the US on a baseball scholarship is dead because three bored teenagers decided to kill somebody for fun. Police say a 17-year-old has confessed to the murder and two accomplices, ages 15 and 16, are also in custody.
The link goes on to say these murderers will be tried as adults but not face the death penalty.
WHY NOT! That's criminal. Absolutely criminal these pieces of waste will not face the needle. They should be eligible for the death penalty and that they‘re not - Chris Lane - brutally murdered did die in vain. Those murderers should by hung. Period.

The crime is terrible, but answering death with more death really does nothing but further a viscous cycle. Furthermore, it costs more taxpayer dollars to put someone on deathrow than it does to imprison someone for life.
The death penalty is much less of a penalty than life in prison.
James Alan Edwards, 15, is alleged to have been a passenger in the car and was also charged with first-degree murder. Mr Hicks said the youth had been cold and callous throughout the proceedings.
He said that as James stood before officers at the charging counter he danced, and has since treated the matter as a “joke”
James' older sister said she believed racism was a factor in the charges, with the two African-American boys receiving the tougher charges.
The oldest of the three accused is Michael Jones, 17. He has been charged with accessory after the fact of first degree murder and a vehicle and firearm offence. He also faces what Mr Hicks called “a long, long sentence” if convicted, but Mr Hicks told the court he had co-operated with police and the District Attorney. His bond was set at US$1 million.
