How horribly, horribly sad. He will never recover completely. I don't know who to blame here - the alcoholic, the boys or the wicked parents that must have raised these boys without a sense of right and wrong. I say, let the punishment fit the crime. I wonder if they'd want to drink the same cocktail? I'd hate to run into these boys in a dark alley - they just don't have a sense of respect for human life. Even if the alcholic was a drag on society - we just don't kill people slowly so we can watch them die - maybe these two need to go to Iraq for a while. Maybe then they'd learn to respect human life.
