I wondered if these ‘boys’ were racists, gang members who needed to ‘earn their stripes’, or simple sociopaths. From what the 17 yr old is reported to have said, the latter seems likely.I would no more apologize for their cold blooded decision than I would for Eric Rudolph, Tim McVeigh,the Aurora theater shooter, or any of the other ‘sociopaths’ out there.However,If you don’t recognize the influence that poverty, a lack of a family foundation, and/or education/opportunity has on the many shootings in our nation, then you are at least as naive as you imply that I am. These boys shot a harmless jogger for fun.How can ANYONE justify that? Even their parents don’t know what to say.non apologetically,C.
