Yeah, my heart bleeds for criminals. I'm sure those "kids" didn't do anything to decent law abiding citizens to deserve getting sent to that lovely summer camp.
He didn't say they didn't deserve to be sent to that lovely summer camp, ...just that he didn't deserve to die there.
Bad things happen to bad people and I'll save my anger for authorities that abuse their power against decent people that play by the rules and actually contribute to society.
You don't think criminals contribute to society? Guess what my friend... crime is an institution; an industry.
Without them, companies like Wackenhut (the largest builders of prisons in the US) would be out of business,
...and all those cops, lawyers, judges, ...and those useless Republicans in Washington would all be on the dole.
If crime disappeared tomorrow, ...dirty cops & politicians would be running so scared, they'd have to create it.
Just look at the cold calculated self-interest shown by cops in South Central in response to the gang truce.
One would have thought they would be happy for such a thing, ...but when the reality sunk in, they felt otherwise.
ps: Criminals play by the rules... They do the crime... the cops catch them, ...they go to jail. Those are the rules.
(unless your last name happens to be Bush or Cheney) 
So the only "piece of shit" in this discussion is you, dude, for trying to stir up sympathy for these thugs.
Hope this helps. 
He wasn't stirring up sympathy for
"these thugs", ...only for
"a kid" (singular) who didn't deserve to die
