[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not riding the metro again. This is ridiculous and DC needs to stop allowing criminals to run the city. [b]This kid murdered someone and he needs life in jail without parole.[/b] Unfortunately, he will probably get a short sentence and be out in a few years because he is a minor. [/quote]

Sentencing a minor to life in prison without parole is unconstitutional. You can thank Lee Malvo for that case law. [/quote]

[b]I know this, [/b]but I disagree with the logic of that SCOTUS decision. There are some rare circumstances where a minor is so violent and dangerous it's just not worth the risk to everyone else. Eg. the Browning case in MD where a kid killed both his parents and two brothers for inheritance money, may be eligible for parole starting in 2031 with "good behavior". A kid that does something like this does not deserve a second chance and it violates the rights (and safety) of the general public to give someone like this parole. [/quote]

Y’all need to stop analyzing Sct opinions you don’t understand.[/quote]

I do understand the decision, I just don't like it. Some minors deserve life in prison without parole. [/quote]
