The two boys used thier own judgment, and they chose to act in a way that led to one of them being struck by a car, while the other escaped with only a beating. I think the occupants of the car that got out and administered the beating were merely agents of karma, and should be let go. Bernard |

I can't see the chaser being charged with manslaughter. Perhaps threatening bodily harm but... As for the surviving kid. Charge with attempted murder. Harry K |

I sure would hope he will get off of the improper manslauhter charge, and I think no one but the jackass kids parents will be upset by it. Bernard |

Yes, the kids acted in a criminal manner and should be punished for that. When the occupants beat and chased the kids they crossed the line and commited another crime. When you seek justice outside of the law you are a vigilante. That is the very definition of the word. The occupants of the car are (at least as far as the facts reported here) guilty of assult. They can plead to extenuating circumstances, such as anger. The kids can only plead stuipity and that dones't get you anywhere. All parties are in the wrong in this one. Doug |

To me it seems like self defense. Someone launches bottle rockets at another person, should not be surprised if that person fights back. Your post indicates to me that you believe that nobody should fight back but always flee. The same mentality that has laws in the UK that have sent homeowners to prison for defending themselves and their property against criminals who illegally entered the home. Your theory of always fleeing, running away, never fighting back only puts the power in the hands of those who do wrong. Because they can do wrong without fear. The cops are never everywhere. And they'll get there later, after the fact. Nothing keeps crime lower than the fear the victim will hurt the criminal. |
