Regarding the bird killer Gutierrez, it's too bad his jail time wasn't longer.  I have kids and they did crazy stuff but they never "killed" defenseless living creatures for fun.  His TV apology was not sincere, he and his buddies knew exactly what they were going to do with the weapons they brought that night, and it's too bad they won't be publicly punished as well.  As a parent of an NYU alumni, they don't need a student like him, who doesn't have a strong moral compass.  He's just a follower.
