If this or these individuals are caught and charged and convicted, what kind of punishment would they recieve? They are obviously sick and need counseling. Could I get alone in a room with one and "counsel" "it" for an hour or so?

I can understand the motives of some criminal activity where the criminal does something for there own gain. But crimes like this that have many inocent victums and no measurable gain for the "thug" are hard to fathom.
