I would say that a kid who has the background described in the article and various posts above should perhaps be given a little more leniency than being hung or stood up against a wall and shot.
He was a teenager, fifteen if I'm not mistaken, at the time of the incident, and it seems people are in general agreement that he had been subjected to hateful indoctrination on the part of his parents and others for, it would appear, his entire childhood.
What chance, I wonder, did this kid ever have to become something other than what he now is?
