Liberal White Guilt..........

Ryan didn't you want revenge when your friend got mugged? Sounds like you're all about reforming people unless they hurt you or someone you are close to.


I think Warik said it before "Every liberal is a conservative who hasn't been mugged yet."

I don't know what the right answer is, but how productive does anyone think this kid will be after spending all this time is the slammer? Unfortunately, he will probably kill again when released b/c he will know no other way after being raised by the prison system. Killling him also pretty much sucks, too. I am certainly not against capital punishment (but let's make sure we are absolutely certain they commited the crime - DNA test, etc..), but the guy is pretty young.. Not to mention a very productive member of society was taken. The whole thing really sucks, there's not an easy answer... I really dislike how the race card gets thrown into everything these days...

Interestingly they said only yesterday did he actually apologize for the shooting for the first time. And also the victim was supposed to have been the kid's favorite teacher. The family of the teacher indicated that they were still confused by his lack of remorse up until now.

What the hell is going through kids' minds these days that would even result in this???

He is obviously a thug and a criminal low life. Productive to society YEA RIGHT! He also told authorities that he sold some crack. Is that productive. He will be released when he's 40. I bet the first thing he does is rob someone.

He should get LIFE

Ryan, you mention making this child a productive member of society, what about the victim's family. What do we do to help them deal with their loss. The answer: nothing after all the press leaves and moves on to the next big story this family has to deal with the loss of a father, a husband, and a son. This mans wife has to figure out how to raise her family by herself. You are right it is a loss, but is is a bigger one for the victim.

28 years? What a brilliant legal system we have. This kid is gonna go through puberty getting ass rammed and cohorting with jailed up thugs. He'll be turned loose when he is 41 and will surely berehabilitated right?

Then we will have a really pissed off 41 year old psychopath in our society.

I don't have a good solution, but this one is definately not the right answer.

Ol' sparky will reform the little bastard. Maybe we should put an electric chair in every school. Those junior FUBUs would behave then.

African American child

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.

The judge in this case was white, thus race was relevant.

Hypothically speaking, what if the judge/jury was black, or asian... or green and blue, whould THEN race be relevant?

Oh, BTW RyanH..... I think you should delete this post because someone brought up RACE in it....... I wonder who THAT was

28 years.......I'm not even that old.....this is not a light sentence......but it doesn't seem just either.
