I'd say just put him on probation. He returned it, now if he doesn't screw up again, he's fine, if he does screw up again, he's going to jail for a while.

this.

The answer depends on what you think the purpose of imprisonment is.

He should get a little bit of community service, and that's it. Our court system is allegedly based on rehabilitation, if he gets more than cs, that'll show what a sham our penal system is.

Horseshit. Leniency for sure but he needs to serve a short amount of time locked up, or his next juvenile mood swing might end up in a crime he can't "take back."

He needs to learn about consequences, and that saying "so solly" the next day doesn't make it ALL ok.

These answers here are predominantly from the "I showed up for all of the classes, so I deserve an 'A'" generation.

Sad, soft, narcissist, insular, ahistorical and endlessly ignorant.

It's not ALL good, yo. :roll:

So is our system based on rehabilitation, or punishment? If it's the former, I'm right, if it's the latter, you are.

Typically shallow false dichotomy. You SUCK at teh logical argument, son.

His "rehabilitation" will involve being "scared straight" with 15-30 days in lock-up to drive home the lesson that you can't do the violently stupid thing he did and then - la la la la la - make it all right the next day on your own accord, otherwise, the JOKE of "community service" might not take and he wouldn't be truly "rehabilitated" yo, with possibly tragic results for ALL with his next stupid mood swing.

Understand?

by my thinking, it would drive home the point that trying to fix your wrongdoings does nothing in the eyes of the law, and therefore if he wants to commit a crime, commit a big crime and run like hell.

a lighter sentence sets a good precedent. probation is the correct choice.

I was trying to collect my thoughts for my reply, then ran across yours. It's like you can read my mind.

He's either needs to go to prison for a couple years or be set free. His race will decide his fate.
