Don't give me that liberal bleeding heart story about how you do not know right from wrong until a certain age.
Agreed. Unless he's criminally insane, he should be tried and convicted as an adult. I don't care what your age is: if you do an adult crime, you do adult time. I knew right from wrong a lot earlier than 15, and I'm pretty sure so did everyone else here.
See, I think this is a big problem in the world today: justice takes a backseat...a lot of people seem more concerned with the criminal's feelings, emotions, and finding out why did such a thing (then saying it wasn't actually their fault for whatever sob reason) rather than seeing justice served. It's bull-- well, you know. What about the victims and the loved ones they left behind?
I have no sympathy for this lad; he sure didn't about anyone else. Is this a tad harsh? Maybe...yet, it sure seems to be working. I'd wager that if he got out, he wouldn't do it again after this. But I don't believe he deserves to be let out for a long, long time. It sounds like justice to me!
