Salami---Come on, do you really believe that minors should be held just as accountable for their crimes as adults.......Many minors don't have the adequate mental state to hold them accountable as you would adults....

Do you think a 10 year old should receive the same punishment as a 30 year old?

 

[TheSalami]

as long as it was an intentional act then age means nothing. there is still a dead victim and so there needs to be a dead criminal.

He's Not Getting Out

He'll die of AIDS in there. He'll get his just desserts in the end. The RearEnd.

Quote from the Chicago Tribune:
During the hearing, Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies testified that out of sight of the jury during the trial, Brazill was not the silent and solemn young man he appeared to be in court. They testified that, in his holding cell between court appearances, he joked about shooting jurors and was generally unruly.

Sure this little thug can be reformed

he would have gotten life if the deputies testified in court.

RyanH,

If the murderer were white, would you desire "reform" over punishment?

What if the murderer were white and the TEACHER were black? Would this fall under your beloved "hate crime" category, and thus fetch the perpetrator a more "punishing" than "reforming" sentence?

Race means nothing to me in a case like this. I heard of this case months ago on the news.

"So-and-so allegedly shot his teacher in the face."

me: "I hope they put him away for life or cook him."

Then they show the boy's picture - he's black. So what? I hope they put him away for life or cook him anyway.

You must look at it objectively. Don't look at it as "black boy killed white teacher." Look at it as "human killed human."

Leave race out of this discussion. It is not about race. It is about the crime and the punishment. Race is not a factor. The punishment should be the same for anyone who would do such a senseless act of violence. This kid is a waste of a human life. Let him die the way he killed that teacher. Let him taste his own violence!!!!!

 

[bstone]

The African-American reference was included so that one may consider race in assessing whether the child received the appropriate punishment-----Since juries are typically biased against African-Americans. If it had been a caucasion child, race would not have been relevant since very likely the jury and judge would not have been biased.

Here, it looks like race was likely not a controlling factor since the punishment, although still more than I would have given, is reasonable in light of the alternative punishment.

You are one of those people who as a bleeding heart until something bad is done to you aren't you? If not, please correct me. Not that anyone is likely to admit it.
We have by far the most phucked up society on this Earth when it comes to crime. The law should be plain and simple, "If you do something on purpose that breaks the law, you should be punished." PLain and simple.
Everyone is always crying about, "Oh but he was so young or he didn't know any better." I am calling BS! This kid knew what he was doing enough to get a gun. He knew what he was doing enough to bring it to school and he knew it enoughto shoot his teacher! He is obviously a menace to our society and should be treated accordingly. WHITE OR BLACK. If you can't get along without hurting or killing other people, you shouldn't be allowed to be around other people.
Yes, people make mistakes but, aiming any weapon at someone and killing them is NO MISTAKE! The kid made his decision and it was a poor one. Let him be an example to all of the other would be 13-year-old killers of the world. We will not give you a second chance. God knows he wouldn't be given one in any other country...unless he was a soldier for Sadaam and then he would be given a medal.
