[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are their fathers? LOL.[/quote]

You shouldn't LOL to this.  Quite possibly locked up, in large part because we over incarcerate in this country, particular African-Americans.  That's one of the reason that the instinct to simply lock these two away forever is so misguided.[/quote]

Jailing a person for killing a man is not an example of “over incarcerating”.

Signed, an EPA Scientist that managed to get where I am today despite being raised by a single mom with a HS degree. Father was killed in Vietnam and my mother waited tables to raise me and my two siblings.

Somehow, I managed to not carjack and murder a man along the way.[/quote]

Despite the challenges you faced, you almost certainly were raised in a far more stable (economically and otherwise) environment than the two girls here.[/quote]
How do you know what kind of life those two girls have?

So, the difference is that PP had a caring parent, but maybe those two girls didn't?  This is insulting to every person who grew up with a "not caring parent" but who managed to not kill anyone.[/quote]

Ha! I came to post the same sentiment. My father was an abusive (like beat me and my brother regularly) alcoholic that was in and out of our lives my entire childhood. My mother was probably clinically depressed and essentially left us to raise ourselves in a house that would be condemned these days. We had no electricity for huge time periods. I used to steal food at 10. Think about that.

And yet, I never killed anyone or stole a car. What is it with all the apologists?[/quote]

This is so true!  The bar is set so low - don’t kill or hurt people. I keep thinking about the victim (the driver, not the kids as some would think). He came from Pakistan-not exactly a land of opportunity, or social programs. He was trying to better his life for his family...and lost his life doing it, by two teenage girls who clearly have no respect for people or property. These children, and parents, have access to social programs, welfare programs, charity, free education, etc.  and yet, what do they choose-an afternoon of joy riding and murder. [/quote]
