Well, I gotta disagree with you too kiddo. There is a point of no return, and these kids crossed it and then some. Suffice it to say that this kid will not see his 25th birthday on the streets. If he gives a damn about what he did it will destroy him. If he doesn't, well he only got 8 years for killing 5 people, a slap on the wrist, getting a pass on a crime like that only guarantees another.

It is an honor to disagree with you. I actually understand and agree with you. But there are some concerns. Had this event taken place today, the sentence would have been much different. That is what happens when folks decide to get involved to make a difference.

I just do not know about keeping a child in a youth prison than adult prison all their life. Lets just shoot them and be done with it. There is a fine line that I think we are all straddling and in the end with no real solution.

This young man has been released, his record clean, I hope, that someone will take him in, help him find a path to give back to the community. Sometimes one has to have faith if there is nothing else we can do.

Should he shoot, murder, rob, do drugs, in other words return to the slammer, you can whip 50 times with a wet noodle and make me write on the FReep board, I was wrong 100 times.

But I will say a prayer for all.
