Federal and state authorities have not commented on a possible motive, beyond evidence that an apparent prank spun out of control. Defense attorneys have not commented either, but say the fires were not crimes of hate.

What is going on with teenage boys in this country? Church fires (in "Bombingham")as a alcohol fuled prank? Homeless men beat to death as a "joke"? How can people so young be so violent and destructive?

Theyve cut too much violence and destruction out of tv and video games. Kids need something to do with that kind of boredom

I should re-word- its shocking that anyone, of any age, would consider these actions jokes. I would be less shocked if they were motivated by something- anything!
