Widow does and did. With good reason. HST was being rather underhanded and trying to pass it off as compassion.

Also - there were no death threats.


I'd need a screen shot on that one. Swearing isn't his style.

10 year old white kid killed a 90 year old woman by crushing her throat with a cane and punching her several times in the throat because she yelled at him for entering her room

he's being tried as an adult for criminal homicide

while the kid clearly has mental issues, i see no point in taking a chance of reintroducing this mentally messed up kid back into society after attempts at "rehabilitation" - who knows what he'll do when he grows up and is capable of much more?

that aside, 10 is old enough to know what you're doing and i support trying this kid as an adult ~ i do believe him when he says he was just trying to hurt the lady and not kill her but that's pretty messed up enough as it is

only strange thing here is they revealed pictures of the kid which i thought were not permitted for minors

thoughts?


Because he's being tried as an adult, not a minor.

10years old is not an adult, he is a child. did he know right from wrong ? probably so, as it pertains to a 10 year old. To say he is beyond hope is absurd, grown men who have done much worse crimes are released every day and go on to never commit another crime.

Our society is forcing kids to grow up faster and faster, with lessening parental concerns on the type of video games, tv shows, movie and music that kids are bombarded with. It's no wonder that we see major crimes being
committed by younger kids all the time.

But to say a 10 year old is without hope of rehabilitation is just giving up on society.

Agreed.

...you know what , I allow myself to use the F bomb twice a year and here it is October and I haven't used it once yet so here goes - stay the fuck out of it , it's none of your damn business .


Post #102



Anyway - this is all getting rather off-topic. We should respect the OP and get back on track -

I think kids being tried as adults is wrong.

im probably in favor of the death sentence here, but i think life would do
better for society to uproot the bad seed now before it manifests even further

That's a bit of a biased judgement because I know the number 90 is creeping in.

That's payback for you using derogatory words when I tried to support you via those death threats. We're even now.


how very christian of you to take revenge instead of forgiving

praise jesus all mighty for his teachings of vengeance!

I think a 10 y/o has the possibility to be rehabilitated. I also think a 10 y/o that commits such an act is not capable of being aware of the repercussions or the moral implications of it. Most likely they are mentally ill and need to be hospitalised rather than criminalised.
