KES boy murdered - WTF?

I went to an all boys school. I loved it, but one thing I know is that when it comes to house parties anything can happen. I mean anything, and that was proven with the murder of the King Edwards student at the weekend.What a shocking, shocking situation. The boys parents must be racked and stunned. And if the little shits that did this are found and found guilty, then I hope they go to jail for a long time.But there are always two sides to every story and I must say that I feel the media has only presented one side. KES has been heralded as a prestigious school with honour, upstanding pupils and any other flattering word you can imagine. But this in only a quarter of the picture.I know my fair share of all-boys-schools and I've mixed with them in JHB. Let me tell you that none, not a single one, not even (and especially not) my old school. We can and probably never will not ever know the truth of that evening.My point: This shit needs to stop. This school rivalry, revenging, avenging bullshit needs to end and now. Let this be a damn lesson to all those who are going after the murderers, you will come off second best. Let sleeping dogs lie and walk away.

Goldin And Bloom Murderers Sentenced

Last year Brett Goldin and Richard Bloom were murdered in cold blood. The murderers have just been handed a 28 year sentence each. It may have taken over a year but the sentence has finally been handed down.I am not sure what sort of a sentence that is, personally I think that if you are found guilty of murder then the deed has been done and the sentence should reflect that. What is 28 years? Why not just make it a life sentence? If these guys are guilty, they are guilty and they should be in prison forever.Nonetheless, the culprits have been found, charged and convicted. They are now behind bars where they belong. And good riddance too.
