https://www.thedailybeast.com/philadelphia-12-year-old-charged-with-murder-in-brutal-beating-death-of-70-year-old-asian-american-manA 12-year-old Philadelphia boy is accused of fatally beating a 70-year-old Asian American man during a brutal carjacking attack. The boy, who has not been named because he is a minor, allegedly joined two others in carrying out the deadly assault. A 16-year-old and 18-year-old also face murder charges in connection with the Dec. 2 carjacking, according to Philadelphia police.
The victim, Chung Yan Chin, was left clinging to life in a hospital after prosecutors say the three youths threw him to the ground and pummeled him before making off with his vehicle. He suffered a brain injury and died on Dec. 21. The 12-year-old faces a court hearing next week, while 18-year-old John Nusslein faces a court hearing for murder charges in April. The 16-year-old, identified by police as Qiyam Muhammad, has an arrest warrant out for him but is not yet in custody, authorities said.

could mean specifically current American Society.
What parts do you think are wrong?
BlackSkimmer

Got it?

That's a lot of parts, but most of them are male.

Fairly safe assumption that they didn't mean to kill Chin. I hope they are now filled with regret and remorse.
Maybe Morales, the 12 year old, can find some redemption after he becomes an adult. because he's a minor, he will be released at some point.
The 16 year old may be convicted as an adult.
Nusslein is unlikely to see parole for decades, if ever.
Stupid stupid children. What a waste.
