I agree completely... these types of crimes should be punished with a death sentence, especially in the case of one of the perpetrators being a minor. That person is simply going to grow up to commit more and more serious crimes, and executing such criminals while they are young will save more lives down the road.
If the death penalty was applied to cases like violent assaults, battery, rape and other street crimes, society would re-order itself in short order.

Yep. Having looked at the video, if that wasn’t attempted murder, I don’t know what is.

"If the death penalty was applied to cases like violent assaults, battery, rape and other street crimes, society would re-order itself in short order." I have long posited that the death penalty should be on the table for any offense in which the victim would have been justified in using deadly force. In such cases, it is the criminal who has subordinated the value of their life to the fruits of their crime.
