You're all nuts IMO.
What's nuts is giving 15 year olds a license to kill. Gangs will send them out in droves to do the murders.

Why should the 15 year old be tried as an adult? Because he was present when the shooting occurred?
Just because "the law says so" isn't good enough for me. What if the "law" says they're going to put restrictions on your second amendment rights? You gonna roll over and be okay with that too?
You are wrong. A child is legally and actually a child by reason of their developmental progress toward adulthood. They must be tried as a child because they did what they did using a child's mind. Not possessing an adult mind, it is impossible for them to make adult decisions. Trying a child as an adult is an abominable misuse of the legal system. A desire for suitable revenge is not a valid reason to maltreat a minor.
The last best work I heard put women at around 26 and men just under 29. Sounds about right I think.At what exact age does a child's mind turn into an adult mine? What exact day does this thing happen?
It's murder, and premeditated too.
As I said, the law is an ass.

I never said that they shouldn't be punished did I? Quit making stupid comments.

I'm not a fan either way.
So choosing to kill someone "for no reason" is not an adult decision? Choosing to have sex is not an adult decision? Then what kind of decision is it? What would you tell your children in both cases?
Death penalty is more expensive.
Answer the questions.
You wouldn't mind them living next door to you?
You'd let your kids hang out with them?
After all they're just "children", right?
that is what they say, but it isn't true
it is just like killing a rabid dog, you no longer have to feed, water, or give it shelter
Everything has drawbacks.I know you want to disarm would be victims so that they can be victims.
It is true. Educate yourself.
Don't tell me what to do. No I won't answer your retarded questions. They are stupid and irrelevant to anything I've said.

California
Assessment of Costs by Judge Arthur Alarcon and Prof. Paula Mitchell (2011, updated 2012)
The authors concluded that the cost of the death penalty in California has totaled over $4 billion since 1978:
$1.94 billion--Pre-Trial and Trial Costs
$925 million--Automatic Appeals and State Habeas Corpus Petitions
$775 million--Federal Habeas Corpus Appeals
$1 billion--Costs of Incarceration
The authors calculated that, if the Governor commuted the sentences of those remaining on death row to life without parole, it would result in an immediate savings of $170 million per year, with a savings of $5 billion over the next 20 years.
Name calling and dodging doesn't help your credibility.
WTF dude!! As an adult would YOU decide to shoot someone jogging down the road in the back? I know I certainly wouldn't. It was a CHILDISH decision.
Nope I wouldn't. But then I am making an adult decision not to. Just as I would be making an adult decision if I would. Now ask that same question of any other child that was the same age as the idiots that shot the guy in the OP. Would they make the same decision? No they wouldn't. Also an adult decision mind you.
It's science and I never discussed how to deal with their actions, simply that it takes a long time to become an adult. Stop jumping to conclusions, like a child.WOW, so until that late age you are not responsible for your childish actions? WTF That is the dumbest thing I ever read in this forum and that is saying something.
I'm calling your QUESTIONS stupid, which they are, and asking dumb irrelevant questions doesn't help your credibility either newbie.
An idiotic statement. If you make that decision, then you are no adult. NO adult I know would make such a decision, and like it or not 15 year olds are still kids, emotionally, mentally and a lot of times physically too.
