[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry. They tazed him. He could have died of a heart attack! This was freaking weapon!![/quote]

That would be very unlikely to occur and that wasn't remotely their intent.  When we decide whether to toss away the lives of two young teens, we should look at what they intended to do much more than the end result.[/quote]
Intent? What was the intent of carrying a taser around while intending to carjack?[/quote]

The intent was to commit a carjacking.  They had no intent to kill someone.  They likely hoped to not even use the taser and the goal was to scare him into compliance.[/quote]
And how do you know that? Do you know them personally?  When my kid does something wrong, you know what they say to me?  "But I didn't 'intend' to <do the thing that got me in trouble>... I just wanted to <insert something a bit more innocuous>".   I don't let that excuse them. Do you let your kids off the hook that easily?  No wonder we are producing a generation of troubled brats.[/quote]

What makes you think they intended to kill the guy?

The way it happened suggested it wasn't intended.  They didn't benefit from killing.  In fact, they are in much more serious trouble because he died.

If you can provide even a circumstantial rationale to support the notion that they intended to kill him, I'd love to hear it.[/quote]
They brought a weapon.  How do you know that their only intent was to scare him?  Neither of us know, but here's what we do know: they are being charged with felony murder charges because they brought a weapon, and a man died while they were committing a crime.

You say they didn't understand the ramifications of their actions, but they knew enough that if he died that they'd be in more serious trouble, per you.  That tells me that they knew what they were doing. [/quote]

Oh don't be ludicrous. The 'weapon' that killed him was the car which accelerated and he was thrown through the windshield. Maybe he took off his seatbelt to fight back or escape?

Either way the taser wasn't the murder weapon.

Still its absurd that this happened and I'm sorry this man died. Funny they can easily charge these girls with manslaughter for his death by vehicle on the same day but we're still waiting on murder charges from the riot on federal property 3 months ago.
