Oh, yea they can't even aford guns! They have to mug people with sharpened
screwdrivers! The poor lads, lets all chip in and buy them some guns and
chains so they can do the job right and not get hurt! :-)

James are you for real? You seem to be saying It's all right for them to
mug so that they can have luxurys! They *do* have a means of getting
that, it's called *work*! Granted jobs aren't easy to find, but if they
made an effort to make themselves presentable I'm sure they could at 
least get a job in a convience store or doing assembly work or something.
Don't make excuses for them, what they did was WRONG!
