The commenter also tried to justify it by saying kids have so much  violent
energy that is suppressed, all young boys are time bombs.  I think that was
also directed by the race of the children, which was black.  That's BS. 
Children may have a level of cruelty based on immaturity, but disregard for
life like that has to be observed or taught.  I have no idea if these kids
come from a violent home or were abused, or if domestic abuse was present. 
That is not behavior anyone I ever grew up with ever displayed.
