Until there is some kind of parody then they should be treated differently.

The whole point is, this should be a state issue. The USSC should not be using international "standards" to legislate morality.

I agree, but the laws have to apply to these kids equally- then I'm all for the death penalty with these kids; but until then- until they sort out what is equal protection- then screw it- they'll be locked up for a good deal of time. Other thing, I'm uncomfortable with prosecutors going after 12-13 year olds as adults. They shot themselves in the foot. Prosecutors need to chill and not bring so much negative attention to themselves.
