Why the saddness over Tweedy's death?


Like Viking he was a major a$$hole. He raped and killed kids. I actually smiled when they said the news.

Exactly.

I really hated Tweedy after he threw that young Black kid over the railing. I cheered when Mick beat the hell out of him with that bag of soda cans. 

They knew Tweety!

That's when the reality hit that that kid, killed in a liquor store holdup, could've been any one of them.

Well-summed. He was "one of them". They may not have liked him, nor cared about his punk-ass, but he was in the same situation as they were. And many of them hadn't really known anyone who died before their experiences in the Boys Prison.

Hate to see anyone die but he killed that boy in broad daylight and then gets out, that part of the movie irratated me seeing that scum set free

Agree with OP. Good riddens.

Or riddance.

He was a dirt bag but so are all of them and he was friends with some of them. And they probably also saw their own futures, not to mention Tweedy was recently released.
