I think my sympathy chip has died

Although I'm not sure that's a *bad* thing in this case. The whole 'but I didn't *know* that she was ill and that bullying her and attacking her would kill her' excuse is just...skin crawly.

I think it would be a good thing for them to be punished. I would hope that maybe they wouldn't do it again. If they win their appeal then it's a bit like saying that it's alright to go around tormenting other people and making their life living hells.

first off i notice spelling error, secondly, there are consequences to your actions, in this case a fairly improbable consequencew. Nonethless they made the decision to attack the group of girls and thus the result of their decision was the death of this girl. Punish them fully. Sucks to be them, but frankly, they are not the dead ones.

Not only do the girls deserve what they got, but the solicitors deserve a good Smiting. It's times like this I wish I dearly did have a flaming sword or was actually a Malakite. Smite them all and let God sort them out.

The attack was sever enough for older lads ON MOTERBIKES had to intervine and help the girls get away, which means it must have been terrifying for them. Regardless of weather or not the girl had a heart condition, that sort of behaviour is wrong.

They assalted someone, they have admitted to that, so they should do the time. Sorry, tough luck, if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

*mutters*

Of course you didn't, you loathsome brat. If you had, it would have probably been grounds for murder, rather than manslaughter...
