So, if you were a Florida State Legislator, would you write a "good Samaritan" law to fill this gap?

Also, are these teens a*****s or what?

I would not write a Good Samaritan Law, because I am skeptical of the unintended consequences of such a law.

That being said, these kids are a sad commentary on what our society has become.

You shouldn't be legally obligated to help, but they should have at least contacted the authorities. I hope they have a hard time finding a job in the future.

I am not sure they should be looking forward to getting out of prison, considering how many people are ready and willing to visit vigilante justice on them.

Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done legal to remedy such situations. You can bet that at least one of them will end up back in court on actual criminal charges. Anyone who would watch a person drown probably has the capacity to do much worse, IMO.

At least one? These teenage sociopaths are almost certainly headed to a lifetime of repeated intermittent to long-term incarceration, probably without exception.

They were white, weren't they? Florida earns yet another demerit. They must have set a record by now.

does it matter?  Why?  I'm pretty sure everybody involved was black.  Sorry if that blows up any racist theories you or Harry had.
