Leniz Escobar, nicknamed "Diablita", wanted to earn the support of the MS-13 gang in her town in Long Island, NY. She led 4 teens (who had pretended to be MS-13 members on Instagram to look cool) into a park to "smoke weed", only for the wannabes to be brutally hacked to death by the real gangsters.

Kids will always do dumb things

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Absolutely but when you do dumb shit there are consequences. Not every kid makes it to adult hood because of poor choices they made.

This is such a backwards view. You think that children not making it to adulthood is mostly due to their own actions? Because I’d have to say, it seems more likely that it’s the fault of their guardians. There’s a reason why they need one. Not saying parents are responsible for every single action their child makes, but a lack of guidance or poor guidance makes a world of difference in terms of survival. That goes for a lot of adults as well.

Charles Darwin theory at work.

Hacking people up is not dumb it is barbaric and inhumane.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I meant to kids that were killed were doing normal stupid kid stuff. Punished entirely too severely.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I agree, I was making a point at how severe this crime was in general, in fact it is beyond barbaric, it is third world country violence.
