There is no way those boys should have been executed. Their crime was such a terrible act and the last response to it should be murder. Governments should not stoop as low as the murderers they're condemning.

Anyway, we've discussed this before but the main point here is that those boys' suicides is so far from funny that it really doesn't do your case any good to present it as such.

It's a fact that one of them was completely dosed on Prozac.
