  1. I hope they make an example of these kids. If they are properly punished maybe it will end their Criminal future but if they get off with nothing like most of them do then these two are going to be dangerous when they get older. Whatever judge is on this, do your community a favor and teach these kids the error of their ways. Otherwise they're going to be in your courtroom for the rest of their lives
