Poll: When it goes to far... way to far

http://news.aol.com/article/5-teens-charged-with-setting-15-year-old/715499

personally, having read this no less than ten minutes ago, I can say I'm beyond any words that can describe what I've just found. For the youth in our country to reduce themselves to psychotic, ill-tempered barbarians is nothing more than the lowest form of trash I've ever known. I thought youth violence after columbine was bad, but this is just blow it all out the window and takes king turd on shit island. Having said my own opinion of this, I want your muses on it, has our youth gone to far with emulation of their environment? Or is this a desperate plea for us to pay more attention? Could it be both? Comment as you please, and keep this discussion civil.

... God alone help you if you ever come over to the UK. Your fragile mind wouldn't be able of cope with most of it.

When i'm older i'm definetly moving from my country to somewhere safer like Norway(I heard it was voted best place to live). The things that has happend in the UK has disgusted me and we are not civilized when it comes to our youth.

Well its not like I haven't seen horrible horrible things, its just that im still very sensitive to these happenings. I don't ever want to, how do i put this, not bat an eye lash at something like this and move on.

And ive heard whats happened in the UK, god forbid it gets any worse.

Look them both. Their faces shows absolutely no remorse at all. Throw them in the slammer, because they aren't going to change.

Damn straight. The future of Britain raised on the dole and will probably die on the dole as well.

I'm confused about this article, they are being charged for murder yet he isn't dead.....????

That aside what a couple of dickwads, jail them now.

Age has no meaning if you set someone on fire over 40 dollars.

Also the photographer really captured a good image, just looking at that kids face on the right made me want to punch him.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Wow, just wow, I don't know what's worse this or the guys who through that kid of the top of a parking lot.

Also 21 days? Thats their punishment godamit they deserve way more than that.

 

[GHMonkey]

15 is old enough to know what you are doing. especially with a crime like setting someone on fire. these guys should be damned to the deepest ring of hell from something like this.

 

[MelziGurl]

One is being charged with attempted murder, not murder itself.

It doesn't matter how bad it is everywhere else, it's still bad enough. Some good jail time would suffice, age is irrelevant, they deliberately and knowingly lit that kid and deserve proper punishment.

Damn straight. The future of Britain raised on the dole and will probably die on the dole as well.

Most people on the dole don't want to be there, despite what you may see in the tabloids.

In any event, op from the UK:-

Same kind of story. A bunch of kids beat a guy up and put him on a bonfire. The main difference is these kids were doing for a laugh (and recording it on their mobiles) and the guy burned to death.

What influenced them to do this? I skimmed the article and saw nothing...
Also, it's not like this is the first time something like this has happened. If you think this is worse then columbine then... I'm sorry but no... Columbine was much worse....
Also, how many people laughed while reading that? Am I just really fucked up for laughing?

I blame the American school system. Of course, I blame them for EVERYTHING.

Wasn't this in Europe? Though you probably knew that and were kidding...

I read that article and the line: "Two boys, aged 13 and 17, and a man, 19, remain in custody." made me chuckle.

It's okay if he's under 18 when he burns him alive, but if it's his 18th birthday that bastard is going to jail!

I don't care what it is, it's their fault!

Yes. Yes you are.

Kids need limits. These two obviously haven't had anyone to tell them what to do and what not to do. Also, the two look like they could use a bit of dicipline. They seem to have no respect for anyone.

I only laughed because it reminds me of the time i accidently burnt some of my friends skin off with an airhorn...
