Its great that the Taylor family can put Sean's body to rest knowing that some boys have confessed to the crime, however, this is a lose- lose situation. Firstly we have lost a man who was sincerely turning his life around and who died honorably: protecting his family. We also have a situation where four young boys, and I do mean boys, have committed their first felony over some money. I realize that people are angry, and hope to see these young men thoroughly punished for their actions, but at the same time we must look at the devastating fact that we will also possibly be losing 4 more lives. 4 lives that were full of potential. 4 boys who were idolizing the wrong things, but had they been steered in the right direction, could have changed, much like Sean, and made a difference in their own community.

I'm happy that justice should prevail, I'm just deeply saddened that at the end of the day, 5 people's lives would be lost over some green pieces of paper.
