Three grown men kill a defenseless little boy.

They should’ve gotten the chair.

“All three men pleaded guilty to felony offenses, including second-degree murder, drive-by shooting, conspiracy to commit drive-by shooting, and aggravated assault.

Gary was sentenced to 16 years in prison, while Patterson and Adams were each sentenced to 30 years.”

How about a picture of the victim.. That’s the important part of the story, not some ghetto wannabees who think offing kids is pimp. Story should be “Justice denied for 5 yr old child killed by thugs who didn’t know what being a human being entails”.

Ya think these ghetto thugs know what the phrase “being a human being entails” - as used in your sentence - even means?

My personal theory: the death penalty should require a different standard — beyond any doubt.

These two fit that bill IMHO. They should fry. 16 and 30 years is too long. Should be one year for an appeal and then real-world ZOT.

It is my opinion that blacks are a different species, with lower intelligence and more animal-like instincts.
They should be considered as such.

If they planned the drive by shooting then it should have been premeditated first degree homicide.
