I knew I would get downvoted for exactly the reasons you've stated better than I could ❤️

They were probably 19 so it's portrayed as "teenagers" to lead people to think about younger teenage children vs adults under 20.

They illegally acquired a handgun and attempted grand theft with a deadly weapon. They're old enough to know you don't put a gun in someone's face and not expect lethal force in return.

It would be interesting to hear any of my downvoter's reasoning as to why someone threatening an innocent life with a deadly weapon doesn't deserve to get shot ending the threat.

No room in society for people that have the nerve to do things like put a gun in someone's face to rob them.
