This Friday, they are going to sentence Baby K in PG over an incident on a school bus. It happened when he was only 16. But they want to sentence him as an adult.
https://www.fox5dc.com/news/baby-k-sentenced-attempted-murder Do you agree with this situation? Or should Baby get a second chance? |
| If not for the gun jamming he would have shot (quite possibly murdered) a child. This is not teenage shenanigans. This is an adult level crime. He can get out when he is 41. Hopefully he will have his brain screwed on tight by then and make better choices. |
| Baby should be put in a corner and left there. Will be a drain & danger to society. We will never be better off with him in it. |
Prior weapons charges, failed to follow through on probation, and has been the aggressor in 3 fights *since his arrest* - I don't think there are a lot of options for this guy. I want to believe in the concept of rehabilitation but it requires an active participant and this is just a person who tried very sincerely to kill a child on a school bus and has shown zero remorse or concern about behaving differently going forward. |
| Lock him up! |
Because his brain isn't fully developed. Now you are going to send him to prison and create a lifelong criminal. It takes a village! |
He's already a lifelong criminal. Brain development isn't a switch that suddenly turns on at 25. At 16 one is old enough, developmentally, to understand that killing other people is wrong. Impulse control and understanding right and wrong are not the same thing. |
| Hopefully he’ll be out in 12 with good behavior |
It will be an impressive rehabilitation if he has 12 years of good behavior. The kid seems to have excessively violent tendencies. |
This might be as developed as it gets. |
Good point. Do you have an extra bed for him at your home in the village? |
| He should get life in jail without possibility parole. No sympathy for this evil teen. |
| He also later murdered the sister of one of the other people involved in the bus attack. He can’t be charged as an adult in that case because he was 15 at the time and 15 year olds can’t be charged as adults in DC, even for murder. So yeah, 25 years is actually too light. |
| What this kid’s story and background? Where are his parents and why did they fail him this badly? |
+1 Of course he should be sentenced as an adult. Though, if Democrats are in charge, I highly doubt he will be. He'll be out in plenty of time to actually kill someone next time. |
