It's a "horrific crime"? Really. It sounds like some drunk, dumb-ass kids were acting like drunk, dumbass kids to me.

I do think it is a crime and that the drunk, dumbass kids should be held responsible. Sometimes drunken dumbassery rises to the level of criminality.

But you are right about media hyperbole. A "horrific crime" is Richard Speck killing all those nurses. I remember listening to some sports talk bozos here in Houston. They were discussing golfer Fuzzy Zoeller's remark that he hoped Tiger Woods wouldn't choose fried chicken as his Master's commemorative dinner. One of the local bozos was "appalled" by the remarks. Sure, Zoeller should have thought it through a little better, but "appalled"? "Appalled" is the reaction for the guys who liberated the death camps in Poland.
