If they're incapable of understanding that their actions are wrong, and if its not a curable condition, which I understand FAS is, and on top of it they don't have a obvious support structure (Their dad and one of their girlfriends were present and did nothing.
Then the question of punishment and rehabilitation go out the window and you have to look at public safety and yes deterrence by removing them from society and situations that would test their abilities to understand if their actions are right or wrong.
Situations like this are really why a dangerous offender should exist. Similar to people with psychopathic conditions who are inclined to violence.
The question is what the incarceration and programs should be like then. Since they're incapable of understanding right from wrong the concept of punishment is irrelevant.
Lock them away in a mental facility, give them some kind of job or responsibility like making furniture, or some other self esteem building job and leave them there, because they can't be trusted in society.
