I remember when I was about 15 at school, there was a couple of kids who were really well know and notorious in the city. One night they were out on a stolen rat bike and got taken out by a bus, one of them was dragged under the bus and obviously killed. I remember the next morning all the lads standing around in silence and girls crying, so I just made a joke to break the ice. Just about got away with it.

It's weird what goes on in the minds of people, decisions that they make.

It is strange. My boyfriend's best friend was pushed under a bus by a bully in front of his own eyes when he was about 15. Obviously the boy was killed, and my boyfriend beat the bully within an inch of his life later.

How old was the bully? Did he have to go on trial for murder? In Norway the age of criminal responsibility is 15.

That's pretty fucked up.
It is.

I don't know, I've never actually asked as it's something he is very sensitive about and only came up on one of those drunken nights where you talk things out. I doubt anything proper happened, though, as it seems his beating the dude up was the end of story.

Here, your boyfriend, being 15 yrs. old at the time, would face two criminal charges from what you described. One for not reporting the murder, and one for bodily harm.

Damn. Well, it was in Warwickshire in the late 80s, early 90s, so I don't know.
