This is definitely sad,i was in a similar situation numerous times in high school,i was often offered guns and i contemplating weather or hot i should buy one, with my conscience bothering me luckily i didn't. Many of my class mates pissed me of to the point that i wanted to retaliate with a weapon,but i never got provoked with a beating of school grounds. These guys say that its sad that society is becoming violent, and often in schools. The reality is that since i was in school nothing changed but the numbers or these situations are rising,i don't condone what these brothers did but i understand and i cant really blame them,they will have to chock this up to experience like i did.20 people witnessed the beating and recorded it on their phones,nobody broke it up,so pathetic.I'm not going to say the brothers are hot headed and react before thinking,remember they went home and came back. Consequences will definitely put these brothers in check but wont necessarily change them for the better. If i got a beating do you think i would respond with love? Lets be realistic,we have to respect each other.
