That explains nothing. This could have happened anywhere. Try watching 48 Hours once in a while.

paganwitch, obviously you have difficulty in comprehension, I was criticizing the comment made by some posters which eluded to the victim as a perpetrator because he had se[x] at the age of 17 with a 14 year old.

Go back and read previous post, you''ll find the outrageous comment there..

"they should be regarded as heroes because they rid this earth of a sexual deviant, a predator"
----------------------
This "sexual deviant" was a 17 year old who had *** with a 14 year old. Would that make my husband a sexual deviant and predator since I was 14 and he was 17 when we first started having ***. Should he be murdered too?

The score so far?

Bush wins hands down!!

jerr, what''s the deal here? You only count the deaths of US troops? Bush and Cheney are responsible for the DEATHS of a Couple HUNDRED THOUSAND! They deliberately LIED us into this needless war of death and destruction, making them War Criminals. In this regard they are no better than the Nazis.

As for the horrific crimes of these two teens... Our nation should feel the same horror at Bush and Cheney with their "Shock and Awe" death and destruction rampage for power and profit.

Too bad these kids did not join Blackwater --- they could have roamed Iraq shooting up innocent civilians and gotten paid $1,200 per day doing it.

These sadistic criminals weren''t from "DETROIT", one was from Canton, while the other Westland, Michigan, not "DETROIT".

Interesting how the CBS News is trying to spin this article making the victim into a perpetrator and associating these sadistic criminals with Detroit, which, by the way, is predominately black...

Is this their way of distancing this type of perverted savagery from middle-class white America?

Hardly!

This "cloak and dagger" routine is so transparent, this type of criminal behavior is typical of white middle-class suburbanites, as the "chickens have come home to roast".

Racists whites have had their "hay day" slinging mud at blacks, illegal foreigners, Hispanics, and Muslims, but now the filth, detritus, putrid stench, etc. is in their backyards...

However, to the contrary, what I''m reading by some posters are excuses, "these boys need psychological help", "they should be regarded as heroes because they rid this earth of a sexual deviant, a predator.

How amusing, when the alleged perpetrators are white!

Now if the perpetrators had been black, Hispanic, or Muslim, I wouldn''t have read excuses or rationalizations only demoralizations coupled with character assassinations...

Bad parenting, is this the best you people can come up with, what about "bad socialization".

What about how masses of people are taught to devalue human life to nothing more than a "survival of the fittest" analogy.

If you people can see beyond your own self-aggrandizement or narcissism, then this type of barbarianism wouldn''t have become as such a surprise, considering..

I meant death certificate, and apparently it is listed as "homicide" at least in Arizona.

You do have a point Iceman, I wouldn''t want to live in a society that was so strictly controlled that nothing like this could possibly happen; it is a sacrifice we make for our freedom to live in the society we do. But I still think there is a lot we can do to curb this ugly trend.

I wonder, for someone killed by a state according to a death sentence, is the cause of death listed as "homicide" on the birth certificate? It should be. Does anyone know that?

"closethippy1, tell that to Singapore, where they have reduced crime because of the death penalty..."

...and many other reasons.

In Singapore people are afraid to litter and jaywalk.

Do Americans want to live in a sterile, obedient, Confucian, beehive society ?

The answer is no.

Looking at the murder rates for different countries, it saddens me to realize that we kind of have a sickness as a culture. Killing is kind of considered cool. The movie Natural Born Killers pretty much hits the nail on the head.

In Columbia about 1 in every 1618 people is murdered! What''s with them?

Yes, I absolutely blame the "Shrub" for this kind of behavior.(metaustin)

You have GOT to be kidding!! Who was to blame for bad behavior BEFORE Bush was in office??

Someone else said it wasn''t their fault, but the media''s fault. Part of the problem is the constant shifting of blame.

"It''s not my fault. I played violent video games, watched violent movies, my parents didn''t love me ..."

Millions of people watch those movies and play those games and yet they don''t go out and kill someone for the thrill of it.

We are each responsible for our own decisions and actions.

It explains nothing. We just had a kidnap/rape murder for the thrill of it here in the good ol'' bible belt. In fact, in most towns, small or large--you either have heinous murders galore, sexual predation, serial killing, school shoot ups or meth labs. It ain''t Detroit. It''s America, home of the only people on earth to publicly embrace, support and approve torturing others in a war of choice.

they may be. But with names like that, they may well be from war torn Serbia or Poland. The names indicate Eastern European for both the supposed killers and Swedish descent, for the dead guy.

Listen to this one. In California, my home state, they voted to make people considered "se*x predators" for having boom boom with prostitutes. You have to register if you do that. No more boom boom with crack ****** on skid row I guess.

I live in metro Detroit, and I wish Michigan had the death penalty. I don''t care the murderers are 17 and 18. When each of them turn the exact age of their victim Sorenson, they each need to be executed in the same way they murdered their victim! Why should they live in prison past the age of their victim?? A senseless violent crime commited "for thrills" by these sick teens.

closethippy1, tell that to Singapore, where they have reduced crime because of the death penalty and at least there will not be any more trouble from this scum, they can not get out and do the same to others as happens in so many times now..

bobgee_1999 good point, but are they not in protective custody when in Jail.. and are they not let out after a few short years???

scorp79, Sorenson being convicted when he was 17 of having *** with a 14-year-old girl, does not make him a sexual predator, if that were the case then many thousands of 17 year old school kids would be had up for being sexual predators. No one should have *** with anyone under 16, but it doesn''t make him a sexual predator..
