A bad scene all around; I'm sure their families loved them and I personally don't think they deserved to die for their actions. But if street toughs hit some guy in a crowd of guys who are the size of NFL players over the head, you'd think they wouldn't be surprised by the consequences. Just sayin'
If I'm not mistaken, and to be fair the last time I read up on the case was 13 years ago, the two dead guys were breaking parole by being out of Cleveland. The media was trying to portray them as good guys who happened to get caught up in a bad situation, when the truth is they caused the situation in the first place.
