"I will be interested to see what their dads do for a living...just curious."

I would bet their dads have not been a big part of their lives.

The 18 year old will probably be looking at the death penalty and possibly the 17 year old. Florida is not hesitant about going for it. I personally feel they should, these two were cold and calculated and knew what they were doing.

Has the NYT complained yet about the illegal video taping of these two innocent teens ?
We can't let GWB get away with this sort of privacy infringement!

All that could be true...or these two could just be psychopaths. Either way, they'll be locked up for life, if they don't get the death penalty.

it's in them from birth

I agree with you

But I also believe that just because you are born with a propensity for violence that you will be violent.

I believe that a nurturing family that disciplines a child that displays violence and cruelty and rewards kindness can prevent that propensity for violence from being developed.

The violent video games, death metal music and gangster rap I believe simply reinforce the violent behavior by normalizing the feelings they have for anger, hatred and cruelty.

They should be punished like an Iranian woman who kills a man who rapes her.

Funny, the national murder rate has dropped pretty steadily for the entire avaliablilty of (realistic) violent video games

The prison population has also increased for that period.

How long before Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the NAACP show up and blames Jeb Bush, George Bush and Republicans in general for this.

It is true, and was written something to the effect that -- one never knows what lurks in the heart(s)of man / men.

This whole act is sick - but not the first time I've heard of teen boys doing similar things.

These boys are probably lucky that they were caught.

like i said,the video games,music,etc. has nothing to do with it. but i will agree on the nurturing.good point.if a parent sees something wrong,they should take action and try to curb it as best as they can.but ,you can't be with them 24/7.right?

You're right, that was tasteless. What I meant to say was they should be punished like Tibetan Christians distributing Bibles.

If you have a problem child you better know where he is and what he is doing 24/7.

I had a classmate in High School whose parents had him arrested as an unruly child because they could not control him and worried what he might do.

Maybe the parents of these young thugs should have done likewise.
