Just shows that most young people are idiots, be they black, white, or whatever. I was young once. You draw the conclusion.

I have a question rather than a conclusion. Why do you find it necessary to equate most young idiot white kids who weren't involved at all in the offense with the one idiot black kid that actually did it? Are you trying to dilute his culpability because he's not white?

I was an idiot in HS, but I never did anything close to what this kid did. Maybe we need another word for him. Deluxe idiot?

Hopefully this kid gets the same punishment as a white kid would if he did the same thing.
