@Nixe1007 if any goths, emo's and punks are aggressive at any time, it is usually because they are fed up to the back teeth of the abuse. You never hear of Goth's killing people. What you are doing now, what you said, makes you prejudice, everything that S.O.P.H.I.E is trying to stop. Don't think that you have the right to say that we 'are not saints' yes, we may have a few bad points, but none of them lead to murder! Stop being Prejudice!

the only thing that mom can do is waiting until these walking unworhty human meatbag lower life-forms get out free from jail in a couple of years,is buying a gun and wait to face them and blowing their heads off!! thats the only thing that works. she shoud shoot and kill them wen these boys get. fukk the law and the so called ''jutice system''. I would kill tose guys if its my daughter they killed. The last and only option is taking law in to your own hands. no life,no mercy,excute them all.

@TheBronx1313 I just couldn't agree more mate.My thoughts exactly!Just immagine being a parent and having you child killed like that!Or even your brother!Personally,I think that here there's only ONE kind of justice:

Eye for an eye.Kill them.Those who take others' lives without having the right to do so,don't have the right to live.THAT'S justice.
