I wonder what is going to happen to the other kid (the one who survived)? Probation? Some other slap on the wrist? The current judicial system fosters such crimes by not forcing the people who commit such to be responsible for their acts. And then when a law-abiding citizen defends his home, *he* becomes the "villain", or the gun is blamed. When a drunk driver kills someone, we (rightfully) blame the drunk, not the car.
