Mass murderers that were "boys" who planned and executed (pardon the pun) a well reheresed mass murder at an Arkansas schoolyard, and shot them as the fled from a fire alarm.

Jerks got just a few years in juvie, and then the anti-gun liberals tried to blame the father who collected WWII and Korean war semi-autos.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Yup, few years in a Juvie sure straightened this kid out..

[Spok]

We need less 'gun control' and more 'psycho-homicidal maniac control'.

[Clifford The Big Red Dog]

What was he even doing out?

He should have gotten life no parole OR strapped on that gurney for what he did.

Kid or no kid.

[Clifford The Big Red Dog]

get rid of the juvenile justice system in toto and try everyone as an adult.

I'm sick and tired of kids getting coddled.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

if I recall correctly, and keep in mind at my age I don't remember what I had for breakfast this morning, libs wanted juvie time so he could be "rehabilitated"..

[Clifford The Big Red Dog]

To Hades with rehabilitation.

The purpose should be PUNISHMENT only.

[Borges]

And put kids in jails with adults?

[HOTTIEBOY]

He ~along with all the rest of the criminals in this country ~ are not stupid.

They know damn well that they can do whatever they please and there will be no consequences.

I wonder sometimes why we even spend so much time and money to catch these people, knowing well they will be released to go and commit another crime.

[OCCASparky]

Yep--looks like it worked, too...[/sarc]

[The Lumster]

Let me get this straight.

Two guys are riding in a vehicle with marijuana and a gun. One of them was guilty of the infamous Arkansas school yard murders and the other was convicted of murdering his father with a cross bow. Two convicted murderers both loose on the streets and running around together. Am I reading this correctly?

Birds of a feather?

[HOTTIEBOY]

No. Put them in juvie prison until they become adults, then tranfer them to adult prison.

But do it carefully, as not to hurt their widdle feelings.

No, No,No....They mean "recycled"... throw his white trash self in the blue bin, wash him off, and release to the environment for further use.

[streetpreacher]

There was no choice in the matter as that is what state law allowed for.

[streetpreacher]

I lived in Jonesboro from '99 to '04. Good people.

[TomGuy]

We in Benton County like things different, unusual:

...who was convicted in Benton County for killing his father in 1999 with a crossbow.

[colinhester]

AState ping. Got my BS and MS from there.

You're right - good people....

[ark_girl]

Hold in mind, this was towards the beginning of when we started having these sprees. I believe the law changed after this happened specifically because of these two boys. But, they couldn't sentence the kids based on laws that were changed after the fact.

I think they would be charged as an adult if the same thing were to happen today.

[D-Chivas]

Someday people will have the good sense to make all juvenile court records open to the public.

Call it a hunch, but I expect to see these weasels names again splattered across the news media sometime in the near future, likely for doing something far worse than the time before. Hopefully they'll meet their demise before that happens.
