[Quix]

8 years is nothing compared to a life snuffed out.

It is a devastation on two parents. And I kind of hate to take two bread winners and imprison them for so long.

But I wonder . . . it SHOULD make their distaste for such things rather intense. Though I wonder if their bitterness and resentments will be worked through by the end of 8 years.

I do think the warning should have been in the community loudly and clearly first that such behavior would result in 8 years.

Anyway--8 years is still a lot shorter than a snuffed out teen life.

And the message to the rest of those teens may well be worth it.
Thanks for your comments. You may have noted I got the usual Qx shredding over my comments.

Whose life was snuffed out?
