So killing a kid for following what a group did and making a horrible mistake, for which he will pay, is justice? I'd say your sense of it is pretty skewed. Or is killing them going to bring her back?

As lots of people who've tried to commit suicide to get out of a life sentence would probably tell you, death is the easy way out.


Making a horrible mistake, you make it sound like they wore the wrong colored shoes. They brutally murdered the girl. They deserve death.

I think the murderers should endure the same kind of death & torture their victim did. That's fair.

That 'life' sentence is a joke considering it's not really life. Being locked up for the rest of their lives is even too good for them.

If they are put to death that would make us all blind. We can't stoop to their level! We have to lock them up in a cell, provide them with cable TV, food clothing.....that will teach em!

20 years is a long time. They come out with no qualifications, no chance of getting a good job and possibly institutionalised after having a long time to think about what they did and probably being shunned or even attacked by other prisoners. It's really not an easy life. Killing kids in revenge isn't right and won't bring that girl back from the dead. At least this way they have a chance to learn their lesson. And, as I've said before, unless you can say, with absolute certainty and doubt at all, that someone is a killer, there should be no death penalty. After all, you can let someone out of prison, but you can't bring anyone back from the dead.

So, these two kill this girl and you think the appropriate punishment would be to force them into prison for 20 years, make them feel bad and let them out to work at McDonalds?

And killing them would prevent letting them out of prison in 20 years.

Killing them would also give them an easy way out, hence why so many people in prison try to kill themselves.

So you'd rather them try to kill themselves in prison than do it in a humane fashion?

I'd rather leave them in a room with angry prisoners and let them get beaten up and step in when it gets bad but that's just me. killing is not humane, especially when it's teenagers we're talking about, who were probably just following a crowd. Most teen "criminals" grow out of it in their 20s, so let's see what they do. Besides, prisoners who are suicide risks are put on suicide watch and have someone actually watching them 24/7.

And anyway, what about in cases where you can't be absolutely sure someone is guilty.

Meh, they were just following the crowd. Don't blame them, it was the crowd.

What about cases that aren't 100% certain? Most cases aren't.

what about the qualifications they can work towards in prison?

i agree with the death sentence in this case. its proven it was them, they basically admitted as such anyway.

What part of killing them makes this fair?

Please explain how adding to the hate fixes anything?

what part of them killing an innocent teenager because she looked different was fair? prison isnt what it should be at all. its more like a hotel when in reality it should be a s**thole.

Try to answer my question before you ask another

I'm still lost by how killing them makes this better in any way?
