You seem to be missing the part where the kid brought about his own demise with his actions. If he hadn't been committing a CRIME, his intended VICTIM wouldn't have chased him down and ended his worthless life. Sorry if you don't like that, but face up to the fact that the kid started this crap.
Would we decry the actions of a sleeping bear if this kid had egged the bear, woken it up, and then been eaten? Then why so here? Do something criminal, pay the consequences, serve as a lesson to others to not be a criminal...
He did not bring about his own demise. He was murdered! He was murdered to satisfy the blood lust of a murderer!
" If he hadn't been committing a CRIME, his intended VICTIM wouldn't have chased him down and ended his worthless life."
His life was not worthless! His life was taken in an unjustifiable murder. His crime was nothing in comparison. It was simply a negligent act perpetrated by a minor. The murderer had no justification whatsoever for the vicious killing. He's not entitled to revenge in any way, legally, or morally.
"Sorry if you don't like that, but face up to the fact that the kid started this crap."
I don't believe you're sorry in any way. You've been excusing murder and condoning it for the slighest infraction of the law.
"Would we decry the actions of a sleeping bear if this kid had egged the bear, woken it up, and then been eaten? Then why so here?"
An animal can't be a murderer. Are people animals to you?
"Do something criminal, pay the consequences, serve as a lesson to others to not be a criminal."
Since you have no respect for the letter of the law, or the spirit of it, your argument is vacuous and it appears you are simply speaking as an animal.
