QUICK! Ship him to Tex-Ass!

lol. I dunno about death penalty but life behind bars sounds good to me.

It seems to me we are overlooking a fantastic military recruitment opportunity with kids like this. With a growing number of American youth too fucking fat for military service, it is time for fresh new ideas.

Off him.

Yeah, that's exactly what I want. Someone in the military, trained with weapons, given a weapon, and expecting that person to make any sort of effort other than saving their own ass.

Great idea, dude.

She was kinda cute. Give em the chair.

dis! DAayum..

Kid's a ghetto thug. Rehabilitation can do wonders for some people though... Work on it for him until he's 18. If he can't make the best of decisions by then, well... the chair shall be happy to seat that fucker.

 

[coreyb]

put him down

 

[guyver01]

as i am not on the jury, it is not my place to decide. i would allow the jury, who has heard all the evidence and instructions from the judge, decide the defendants fate.
thus is the way of our legal system.

Not that I don't disagree with this argument, it's just that you're stepping into the realm of funny numbers--such "costs to society" can't accurately be quantified. While I agree that it's a very real cost, and you can extrapolate some decent estimates, such numbers are heavily dependent on what-ifs, outside of the difficulties of estimating "societal costs":

--if the prisoner escapes
--if there is not true rehabilitation
--if the prisoner escapes, then if he kills again.
--if he is ever paroled
--etc...

Again, it's a real argument, it's just not accurately quantifiable. We can't easily stack this argument against numbers that are easily known--that exist in legal and bookkeeping ledgers. Numbers that are documented and widely available.

plus, one is arguing simply from economics (my personal cost), and the other from a nebulous type of cost variable--emotions (family of victims) don't translate very easily to dollar figures. You can extrapolate on from each victim (when known), consider their local economic value (value of business to community, potential employees dependent on victim, local economic output of victim's business, when appropriate.) This is all well and good, but you're still arguing unknowns and what-ifs against knowns.

Well shit... even if I wanted to argue with you, I really couldn't. Well said.


So do we kill the kid?

 

[Nik]

with fire

Did you know that electrocution executions require bandages over the eyes because the fluid in the eye expands with the heat, ruptures the eyeball out the face, and bleeds profusely down the face? Gross, huh.

30 years. He's still very young, at 35 or so on parole he might have a different outlook on life.

Or he might have learned how to be a better criminal in the University of Crime, aka prison.

 

[TechAZ]

Kid is going to be fucked up for life, prison isn't going to make it any worse. Put in Juvie until 18, then big boy prison for remainder of sentence. Not even sure if they do that, but trying as a juvenile would be ridiculous.

Drop him in Khyber pass with a GPS tracker on his kidney and see what happens.

 

[marrr]

death.

 

[Patranus]

We have no place in society for these people and there is no reason the taxpayer should be forced to foot the bill.

Keep him in jail until he is 18 then execute him so it wont be "curl and unusual" punishment or whatever the "progressives" bitch about these days.

Those damn liberals and their United States Constitution.

This is when I go :hmm: and default to Jack Baur.

[qazwsxokmijn]

Shoot the kid, and probably the parents too.

Job done.

 

[stag3]

execute the kid
put his parents (if they are alive and the dad isn't already in prison while the mom is a prostitute ) in prison for life

 

[polarmystery]

death. We have enough rotten little kids in our society.
