I hate to sound like I'm defending these kids (because what they did was very wrong) but, the internet is singularly to blame for the desensitization of these kids and many others like them. With things like world star YouTube fight videos and such, reality has become distorted to these kids and their goal here was to make a viral video instead of helping this man.
These boys will one day realize the error they made and this situation will haunt them forever. The torment they will inflict on themselves will be greater than any legal action or punishment their parents can give.
These boys will need help before it's too late. 4951
