I'm so sorry for these young men and their families. There must be some justice in this country. I'm totally against this government and the police not doing its job...

Get real, you can kill people in BG. and not go to jail. You can do most anything here. It's a good thing.

What a tragedy, so young and there whole lives ahead of them, over what, a stupid fight or perhaps some Muntri going a little to far? Bulgarians, you need to get mad as hell and not take it anymore. My heart goes out to the family's and friends of these young men. I also hope that justice is served on the person that did this horrible crime and justice should be swif and bring back the death penalty. This is a perfect case for it.
