£1600 sounds like a very expensive bench. Is it silver plated?
It's tragic when anyone dies in this manner, and it is intolerable that this society breeds hate groups in this manner - all the individuals were under 17, and have clearly been raised so badly that they think this sort of behaviour is acceptable. It was probably rationalised as: "I hate those fucking goth types, let's go teach them a lesson for being different." I wouldn't be surprised if alcohol was involved too.
I think the money would be better going to charity rather than into building a bench, but it is really up to the parents what happens to it, and whether people wish to donate or not.
