They Thought It Was Cool
Some students broke into a local elderly reverend’s home to rob him, thinking he was away. He sadly wasn’t, and they proceeded to bludgeon him and his wife, while they were sleeping, with baseball bats and bottles.
They were caught pretty quickly, and although their names legally couldn’t be published because they were minors, everyone knew who committed the act.
The media caused a circus at our school for weeks by continuously harassing any student for comment, which many students gave because they thought it was “cool.”
Although these three kids, who were 13, 14, and 15 years old, were known to cause trouble, no one ever suspected they would be capable of doing what they did. Story credit: Reddit / honeybee0102
