Well, it's nice to see that there's little debate here on the stupidity of the situation. But let's shift gears to another aspect of thise story.

They are sentenced to a juvenile facility, and will be released when they're 19. And as far as I know, that's it. They commit that kind of crime, and serve 5 and 3 years, then are released back into society.

Am I the only one who sees what's wrong with that? They're 14 and 16, and they fired shotguns at passing cars, killing someone. They should be old enough to be tried and sentenced as adults, given their sage and the severity of the crime. And unless I'm missing something, they're getting away with it.
