I guess that you could say, they have been “fired” from their job as robbers.
Time to find a new job now, if they survive that is…
I wish people would realize that violence is the result of one person (or group) thinking they have a power advantage over another (and then not having the morality to stop from doing it). This is a perfect example of that. Two stupid kids think they have an ability to do whatever they want just because they have a weapon. Good thing this guy was able to even the score.
That’s why gun control doesn’t work. If guns are removed from the equation, then the next item down becomes the instrument of power, be it a knife, bat or whatever. It doesn’t stop crime and it doesn’t stop innocent people from getting hurt (or killed).
Serious and critical condition. Good shooting. If they live they probably will not be repeat offenders. You pick a grown up career you deal with grown up consequences.
Maybe if these boys had been disciplined when they were younger, they would have understood the possible consequences of their actions. This is tragic.
I hope you’re referring to the idea of these children having so little hope or so much arrogance/desperation that they went to these lengths being tragic.
As far as my thought process goes, a criminal being shot during the commission of a crime is not tragic, simply an equal and opposite reaction.
