The anguished brother of a teen who died trying to save two buddies from a tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo struggled Friday to understand why the survivors ran out on their mortally injured friend.
"If he stepped in for you, why did you leave him to die?" asked 17-year-old Carlos Sousa's brother, Leo, 21.
He said his family has been looking for answers since the 350-pound tiger got loose on Christmas and mauled Carlos.
By all accounts, the youth was killed trying to get the big cat away from brothers Kulbir Dhaliwal, 23, and Amritpal, 19.
But Leo Sousa said his family's calls to the Dhaliwal family have gone unanswered.
The brothers, who aren't saying much to investigators, could be released from San Francisco General Hospital today

Maybe they were and are cowards and maybe Carlos was not.

They should at least talk with the victim’s family and give them some answers. How low can you go?

Maybe they were and are cowards and maybe Carlos was not. I think that sums it up.
Now they have to live with themselves.
Watch this wretched popular culture make icons out of them. Are we that low, yet?

"By all acccounts..." Accounts from whom? If the brothers aren't talking, then who is? And what else did that person or persons witness?

Yes, I think we are at that point.
Victims are the new heroes. Cowards are the new victims.

It’s hard to be certain about the names, but is it possible they weren’t going to risk their lives for an infidel?

I think we can say with near certainty they’re cowards. The question in my mind is what they did to that tiger before it escaped, and to what extent the dead kid was involved.

"..Now they have to live with themselves..."
I doubt that would be a problem for them.

They might ALL be alive...IF they had been allowed to carry guns. But not in Cali - esp. not in San Fran.

By the look of their names...can we assume that they might be muzzie cowards? No we cannot. 'Dhaliwal' is an Indian name. Very likely Jat clan and very likely Sikh.

It is obvious that they aren't talking because they have something to hide. Everyone involved had criminal records prior to this attack. They drove 50+ miles on Christmas Eve to go to the zoo. I don't think it was because they were bored. Something really fishy was going on and these boys know it. The truth will come out.

I think you are right. There seem to be indications that the three were "messing" with the big kitty. Reminds me of a few years ago when a couple of geniuses decided to climb in and "play" with the polar bears at a zoo. Yummy.

I agree and they are probably lawyered up.

Kids drove 50 miles or more to see the zoo????
Well, there’s a red flag and what the devil were the parents doing at this point?

Having never been attacked by a 350 pound tiger I’m not gonna criticize anyone who ran away from such an attack.I’ll criticize actions that took place before the attack but not once the attack began.

Sounds like these three would have been weeded out as concealed carriers even in a state that allows it.
They are the type who would have been plinking at the tigers from the safety of the fence and laughing as they did it!
