This crime is so despicable. I am not a racist, but agree that if the victim was a black man, there would be outrage and national publicity. I just don't understand the mindset of people--no matter what your station in this life---right is right and wrong is wrong. How is it possible that 6 individuals have a total lack of human decency? Don't tell me it is their circumstances, lack of jobs, lack of education, lack of money. I am tired of hearing excuses. There are plenty of less privileged youth who choose to overcome their circumstances and become good people. These thugs had the free will to make a choice, they chose to end a life.
