Stupid. I wonder how “hard” they think they are now.
That’s horrible. They showed how “hard A$$ they truly are by attacking in a group. How brave was that? Let them suffer the consequences to their actions! They might possibly learn from the experience. More than likely though, they won’t. Hope the courts have no mercy on them! ?

10 on 2. Hope they get everything they got coming their way.
