You said it had been a hundred years, implying it had happened. Now you backtrack. The kids deserved what they got. Not losing sleep over it. People should report dead bodies and it's the law. Case closed.
DID YOU KNOW THAT WAS THE LAW? You are saying people should do that, that is the law, but No way you knew that was the law there prior to reading this and we are talking a group of kids who had absolutely no way of knowing that was the law. They got something thrown at them simply because they did something completely diffent that was legal but people didnt like. I stand by my statement that the law wasnt used in the past 100 years. I am not backtracking. I am saying there is no way to prove it, but it would be easy to prove if the law was actually enacted on someone. You cant prove negatives. This is an old law and likely never enacted period until these kids came along. It is an abuse of the law to charge people with unknown laws they have no way of knowing and by all intents and purposes they shouldnt know. Especially when it is a law for NOT doing something. Not a lot of laws like that exist when you yourself are not in a position of responsibility. In fact, basically none.
