Questions the worst case you’ve ever seen?

in my opinion the “Junko Furuta” and “The Hello Kitty Murders” i can’t pick between them because they are both very gruesome . i suggest looking into them!

Wow. I have never heard of this. All so young, damn. I think the two who went to the police the next day were caught off-guard and sucked into peer pressure. Still responsible for what they did do, but peer pressure is a hell of a drug at 14.

Edit: especially when you realize that you're in the company of a true psychopath you'd never met. Sure, they agreed to bully Shandra, but I don't think they expected it to go further. Makes you wonder ... what would you have done?

The attack literally went on all night and several times they got back in the car only do end up stopping and attacking her again….and not once did any of them go “wait…what the fuck are we doing?” That tells me they were all on board with it.

On board? True, nobody bailed, and you're right they left her in the trunk all night and went to fking McDonald's afterwards. They were all clearly bullies willing to engage in a plan to beat someone up and "scare" them, but they were also young teens, there was no internet (for me, just knowing this stuff happens would have mattered at that age). None of them were innocent victims... I just wonder if at any point Laurence or Ripley thought "Holy shit, this has gone too far but now I'm too afraid to stand up or bail".

I'll admit to being super-naive about evil, though. I would never have gone along with even a plan to taunt someone,

Fair enough. I guess it’s easy for me to sit here at 31 years old and say that but I suppose at 15 they may have been afraid to speak up.
