A 14 year old is a child, and children should always be given 2nd chances.
His actions as a child are gross and criminal and the doubt that he's changed any in the following 4 years are understandable.
In my experience things like racism or tolerance are learned from our care givers and peers as children. Hopefully this young man - no longer a child - has become or will soon become a better person.
Any action he makes now towards restitution now will sound hollow but he should still do so. Even this late is better than never.
I'm also glad we didn't draft him.
