wow...

1. Everyone ****s up, some not as bad as others

2. what he ALLEGEDLY did is deserving of jail... not death...

3. kids do stupid ****, and most learn from them... he didn't get the chance...

Now yes he ****ed up... but No1 deserves to die for something like that... now I think he deserves the snot beat out of him... nothing more... he didn't go out with intentions ofkilling and/or seriously hurting anyone...

so get a ****in grip... we ain't talkin bout a 40 year old serial child raper... we're talking about a kid that made a stupid mistake...

There is no such thing as a "mistake" when it is taken to this magnitude. I get so tired of hearing that BS that kids must learn from their mistakes. They know what they are doing when do whatever it is they are doing. If they have to do stuff like this just to learn the lesson because they don't realize it is wrong, then we need to line them all up in front of firing squad and send them all to Hell where they belong. We don't need them here on Earth jeopardizing the lives of those that don't do those stupid things. The world would be a much cleaner, safer and happier place without them in it.

And if they do make a mistake, or have some kind of schizophrenic breakdown and do something that they will end up highly regretting for the rest of their life that they deserve to die? Well, in that case line up the atom bombs and kill us all, because last time I checked we all made mistakes and none of are perfect, well maybe except for you in your own little world...

I said, that there were no mistakes when it is taken to that magnitude. A mistake is staying up too late and being tired the next day so that you can't perform your job or school work as you should. A mistake is tightening that bolt just that little bit extra to where you break it off or strip it out. It is not a mistake to commit armed robbery, or attempt to commit armed robbery, if you want to split hairs.

She was your 'perfect angel,' church going, family/ friend loving person and one day she just snapped. She walked out of her room and into the living room to see her husband, some friends and their room-mate smoking some green. She says "Oh, you guys are smoking" then walks into the kitchen comes back out with a knife, and throws a flower pot at her husbands head, with knife in hand: turns around and says in the most calm voice "Ok, im going back to my room 'I love you." That was the first time in her life (20 yrs old) that anything like that had ever happened, but definietly wasn't the last.

I would definitely agree that he would have deserved some severe punishment, but to say "Im glad he died, because that's what he deserved." Is quite simply ignorant.

Me being a criminal justice major I don't agree that someone that robbed a store at gun point is a mistake at all! Wether or not he had a big fight/misunderstanding with someone doesn't give him the right to go to a store and rob somone at gun point beat the crap outta them and then run away with cops following you and cause other wrecks! There is simply no excuse for that! He was conciously aware of what he was doing and the intent was there so I won't see it as a mistake! Did he deserve to die? I can't say that he deserve to die. Did he deserve to be locked up in prison for a while? Most certainly! I wonder what those who say it was a mistake would say if it was their family member who was robbed at gun point would say? Would you still call it a mistake?

It is completely unfair, but I realize that it is the way it is. I'm just stating my belief. Who is to say that he would not have done it again and actually KILLED someone next time? This way, we don't have that risk, so society is better off. I'm a business major, and in business, risk is a bad thing. Risk is also a bad thing in life in general. Having this guy on streets obviously puts us at risk, so that is why I don't feel bad because of what happened.

But you said it right, there is no why that anyone can justify this as being a mistake and anyone who tries is, well, an idiot :coughbadfishcough:
