I believe the kids have realized that their actions were unacceptable, and after their punishment and ordeals afterward have hopefully learned their lessons and have grown from them. As each of us in life have made mistakes we are neither proud of nor wish to relive, we should at least look at this as life long learning experiences, even for those not involved. Life doesn't come with an instruction book, so we learn from our own, and if wise, others experiences. Let us all hope that in the future if these young men and all who have had at least a passing interest in these events who face a confrontational event in work or in life, that they take the knowledge from this and apply, at least, what not to do.
