Oh, a police officer who isn't bent up on getting justice right away because he knows it's futile with all those powers on the background. Instead, he guilt-trip's the boys. Niiiiice

I like how the victims have been portrayed in such a positive light,even though they were criminals too basically.


Maybe it's about sympathy, being blinded by your own emotions from seeing a disaster happen, and instead of actually respecting the victims it's selfish act of coping with seeing the wrongs in the world.

I mean none of this can really be applied universally, but got me to think about how the victims are usually portrayed by the media, sure the thing that happened was bad but it's always this black and white split. Look at the BLM riots happening, a lot of people were busy using death of someone else as an excuse to release their anger and the victim was trancended to be some kind of saint. Even though he had history of drug abuse and other things, but if you bring that up you just get called a racist. It does not make what happened right, but i think not being level-headed led to more problem, the riots, which ultimately didnt really change much of anything, other than make the split between the extremeties even bigger.

Exactly. The people they killed are actual trash. They literally saved so many people. Like the kids from that school is actually gonna kill someone.

Interesting. I wonder if its a big IQ play for the Detective to make them fall more into the guilt trip and eventually to the point of making themselves want to arrest themselves or its some sadistic revenge play.

He guilt-tripped the boys for killing future criminals. Police scum.

They should have told back the police that if he really believes his justice he should have accepted being buried. In the end, the police is a murderer like the four of them. In fact, an accomplice for killing the 11th person.

If only criminal felt this amount of pressure from their wrong-doings, the world will turn into a more peaceful & suitable place.
That's the thing - they feel this much pressure, because they're kids. Dumb, but not bad overall. Somebody who's living that life and went through something before would not be nearly as vulnerable to this stuff.

Yes... but ALSO - people dying overall is always a point (and device sometimes) at which they're showered with all the postive emotions, all the regret that they're not here anymore and all the heart-warming stories about them. Some people are bad, some are super bad and it all goes away with death. Then it's always a tragedy.

Sure, one less life around IS a tragedy, but all lives are (IMO) only equal at birth. Then there's a lot of factors deciding that. I think that everytime somebody's dying, there's one person who's happy about it. Not because that person is a psycho, but all of us are a villain in somebody else's story.

I think you took one extreme take and transformed it into an opposite extreme take.

We should stay somewhere in the middle of your comment and that dude's comment, but I've been commenting so much today, that I can't focus on elaborating, sorry xD
