The thing that amazes me the most about that story is the number of people who knew these guys were beating up the homeless and thought that one day they would go too far. Like the beatings weren’t too far in the first place!!

Even beyond the ones mentioned in the story, all kinds of people knew. These kids didn't have to reject conventional morality - they'd never had any moral universe constructed for them at all.

If only the little shits were literate of books that told a story, rather than dictated a set of actions.

FORCE YOUR KIDS TO READ BIG books when they are young? and they might learn something more than their own pissant co-cliquish values. Or if they don't? they will be successful in carrying out their misguided deeds.

Better a successful villain, than a pathetic loser.

well they won't have 'steakie wedges' where they're headed..eh right ?

Eggie-weggies and steakie-wakies. ;) I can see little Alex getting fed his breakfast in my mind's eye. Hard to imagine it's possible to chew one's food in an arrogant fashion, but Malcolm McDowell showed it can be done.
