Is it still wrong if another culture says it is right?

I would rather the young offender have to see the inside of a cell for this- or take a bat to his knee and end his basketball hopes.

I think this really hits the nail on the head.
I don't necessarily feel that the students in the story are truly apathetic to what happened. Many may feel inside that it is quite wrong, but they have been taught to withhold any judgement by an overwhelmingly bland and PC society that's deepest fear is to offend someone's sentiments instead of take a stand for what is right. This ultra-tolerance just breeds a culture of acceptance of what some would consider true evil.

IMO the best payback would be to first sue the family for a truckload of money. Take some of said money and then buy a baseball bat to demolish the perpetrator’s kneecaps thereby ending his hopes of a basketball scholarship/career then use the remainder on legal fees to keep your nephew out of jail. ;)

Well stated and righteous perceptions gentlemen! :)

Truly! Evil must not be tolerated, no matter how many times one gets called the bad guy by the perpetrators!
