Life? C'mon! Although the piece doesn't specify the extent of the injuries suffered one can assume,I think,that the victims were never at death's doorstep or close to it.
IMO...if you're talking bloody noses...each perp should get a year's probation.Broken bones.....3 months in the slammer.Long hospital stay...at least a couple of years in the slammer.More serious injuries....5,10 or more years.If either victim dies....fry them.
You’re missing the point here. some people alawys hit these threads with “execute ‘em all” attitudes and it doesn’t matter what for. “Just execute all the convicts” is pretty common too. Of course when someone with that attitude is arrested they magically morph into civil libertarians.
