And because the incident became a youtube sensation, the kids had no chance of receiving punishment commensurate with their behavior. Those cowardly officials had to appease the loudest of those in the mob.
And in other categories of bad behavior, or other categories of perpetrators, the same sort of cowardly officials would give far too lenient a punishment.
Those vile children deserve everything they have gotten. Either you never watched the video or, sadly, the things those kids were saying didn’t make you want vomit.
