Jesus Christ dude what is it with this childish, immature, and broken sense of justice? Why does there need to be some fucking bogeyman to blame. You ever consider that maybe that most shitty things in the world are the result of a large collection of factors. Some accident, some by mistake, others deliberately with malicious intent.

The only way to ever see justice, actual honest to god justice, not your fun house mirror interpretation, is to actually sit down and so the work. I mean honest to god, transparent, consider all the fucking facts equally, look at everyone as an individual, justice. The sort of shit the courts should be, but probably never will.

Did you and me do shit like that as teenagers? No but you and I most likely had adults looking out for us, if not most of your friends did. The fact you have this many kids doing this shit says that there’s enough without guidance for mob mentality to take over like that. That, as far as I’m concerned, says something about the state of that community. Which in and of itself says something of the society of which it exists in.

If you’ve got a giant mob of people who aren’t old enough to legally consider adults going around doing shit like that, yeah there’s some fucking societal ills. That sort of shit doesn’t happen in a vacuum because some kids felt like being assholes, or better yet it does because no one was there to teach them better.

That’s what happens when you have a bunch of young people full of piss, vinegar, and hormones and no one to help, and no promise of a future.

Does that justify what they did or make it not wrong? No, its just that trying to police people harder isn’t going to prevent this from happening, shooting into the crowd wouldnt have prevented that mob from forming either. Giving those kids the resources they need and a shot at a future before they became an angry mob? That might’ve actually prevented it.
