[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thing is seriously sad. A 13 or 15yo is so Immature. They do not think!!!  They had the short sighted goal of having fun with  bragging rights of stealing a car, and a man was MURDERED for their foolishness!

They definitely should be punished! Problem is, even as a felony Manslaughter they will not get more than 30 years. And after those 30 years they will still have half a life left and still be of child bearing age, and because of their circumstances be  associated with other felons.... as friends, family, etc. Having been incarcerated over the previous 30 years, including their formative early adult years, they would likely not be prepared (or able) to be good  parents to their likely delinquent offspring. And the cycle continues!

But , if we let them “off” with lighter sentence, the result won’t be much better.

But they DID think. They thought to get a taser weapon.  They heard an older gentleman and saw him hanging onto the car. That's not the same as a true accident or a teen being impulsive or over correcting when driving on the hwy. I've worked with a lot of kids from impoverished backgrounds and drug or alcohol addicted parents. [/b]I do not think the behavior of these teens represents just "not thinking." [b][/quote]

So what do you think the behavior represents?  Please say the quiet part out loud. [/quote]
