The European Union & It's Problems.

[Wallfire]

The sad thing is that death by police is the best any of these young people can hope for. If they die by police they get there names into the paper, have a big funeral, and become a "hero". 
The other chose is to die in a gang fight by knife or gun, or perhaps by drugs and no one will care. 
So is it any surprise they chose death by police, so they have some meaning if only in death. He knew that by hitting a police man with his car he would be shot, he chose that death.
