A Special Place In Hell: The Juvenile Sequel

I try to be pretty understanding when it comes to kids.  But then you read something like this, and the heart can't help but harden.  Kids or not, this is criminal beyond understanding.

Courtesy of the New York Post:

A wealthy Manhattan real-estate agent buying Halloween goodies for underprivileged kids at an East Harlem mall was nearly killed by two 12-year-old punks who dropped a shopping cart on her from four stories above — then laughed about it later, police sources said yesterday.

Marion Salmon Hedges was with her 13-year-old son, who watched in horror as his mom fell to the ground in the East Harlem mall on Sunday.

Kids do stupid things.  Nothing could excuse something like this, but if it had been an accident, it would be only one tragedy, not two.  The second tragedy is that we have juveniles laughing about nearly killing someone minutes after it happened.  A woman who was getting candy for underprivileged children on Halloween couldn't get a more sympathetic response.  This is a perfect example of when everything goes wrong and nothing whatsoever goes how it should.
