As long as the police didn't force them off the road then the criminals are responsible for the consequences of their own actions.

However it should be reviewed to see if things could be done better in the future. Unless the death penalty exists for stealing vehicles then what happened to them is out of proportion to the crime. Note though it was the criminals who self adminstrated their punishment not the police.

It was their lives to choose. One of the issues is they are all young adults, who aren't considered mature enough to vote or do many other things in adult society. Their lack of maturity lead them to choose an action which consequence I doubt they were fully aware of. But is this societies fault for not prosecuting young offenders to the full extent of the law. They probably thought as juvs they would have got a slap on the wrist. Maybe the lack of discipline from society, family and self are ultimately responsible. I would rate the last two as key.
