I do agree that they are responsible for their actions and wish I could pinch their little asshattish heads off one by one but I guess the believer in me hopes that they a few of them will be embarrassed by what they have done (in the public spotlight no less!) and maybe evolve a little...even become an advocate or ally.

I make this point not to check you or devalue your point, because I think my hope is as fervent as is yours that they learn from this.
I just feel that if we keep excusing this behavior as "oh they're just kids, they don't know any better" then we devalue them as adults and valuable members of the community. How can we expect them to be meaningful members of the community if they're always too young to know better?
And it's a hot-button of mine *s
