Some of those charged are minors, and this incident occured at 5am. Two questions: Are the parents of these minors also to be charged for being irresponsible in allowing their kids to be in a pub at 5am, and are the pub management/owners to be prosecuted for allowing minors there, let alone being open at 5am?

So many young lives wasted just to show some 'bravado'. A tragedy all around.

Get a grip, condolences to all families.
Condolences to the families of the victims. Shouldn't the parents of the gang chasing not have shown a bit more responsibility in teaching right from wrong. Bang them up for a long time.
Judging by cars they were driving doesn't seem to be a lot of money to help save them
