Well,some of those killed were just young and stupid and in the wrong place at the wrong time.Not making excuses for them but does being stupid deserve death?
Yet I will agree,for those mobbing and terrorizing their fellow citizens,they got what their karma brought them,if I can be New Agey about the situation.
Well they are raised or should I say not raised and they are not taught to have a regard for human life. Their parents let them hang out all hours of the day and night and could care less. They dump their kids off at the library or community center while mom sits at home watching Oprah instead of talking to their kids and helping them with their homework so the kids are hanging out on the street. I hear so much on t.v. about stopping the violence and having more activities for the kids. These kids need to be home at a decent hour spending time with their family eating, talking and doing homework and chores around the house. The need parents to be parents. It is the parents fault. If the parents can't take care of these kids then the parents need to be educated on the use of birth-control so they don't end up with 5 or 8 kids that they can't feed and take care of.
I don't think being stupid deserves death because most of these kids are not totally responsible for being stupid and not knowing any better. When all you see and experience in your day to day life is death and drugs and no regard for life then what do you expect. I feel so bad for many of the young and I mean young kids I see riding around in cars not buckled up just standing in the seat or on the floorboard. These kids still have a chance at growing up and being decent human beings! If you Kill othes and it is intentional you don't deserve to be in society with the rest of us unless you really are truely sorry for your actions and you are a changed person. When I hear of some punks breaking into a house and getting shot and killed by the home owner I can only think...there's one less to worry about. On the other hand I do feel sorry for these people who have died because I worry about their soul and what will happen to them and the family they leave behind. "Can't we all just get along!!"
