Useless punks! Throw them away in prison & let the Big Boys have their way with them! Bones, Thugs & Harmony
“Century” inadvertently points out what is wrong with our sense of justice . They need to be punished because “next time they might break into the wrong house and something bad might happen to THEM”. Shouldn’t our regard be for the murdered individual or their next victims?
This is sad y’all kill someone for what drugs money now Yall lost ur freedom.I have kids around there ages this was wrong what they did and they must pay for it or next time they might break in to the wrong house and something bad happens to them but don’t always blame the mom or dad because they could have been raised like they should just turn as they get older or get in with the wrong people
Young or not. All four should be hung in the town square when/if found guilty.
@SH – exactly. Someone on death row has all appeals paid for by the State, most appeals are automatic, and justice can take decades. In the meantime, they cost $1-2M more than a prisoner sentenced to life without parole.
@Nathan – sounds good but the Israelites didn’t have the FL/US justice system.
@SH that’s hogwash, giving endless appeals and taking twenty years to execute them cost more. Getting them executed in a orderly and expedited manner would be much less expensive. Building prisons for more cost billions.
Actually, the death penalty is more expensive than life imprisonment. And it’s not really much of a deterrent.
But why are there still crimes like this related to Marijuana? The vast majority support its legalization. Bring it out into the open where there is no underground criminal culture surrounding it.
“And a man who injures his countryman – as he has done, so it shall be done to him [namely,] fracture under/for fracture, eye under/for eye, tooth under/for tooth. Just as another person has received injury from him, so it will be given to him.” (Lev. 24:19–21).
One stupid deed has ruined the rest of your life. If you think you are tough now, just wait until Bubba gets ahold of you.
These fine kids just made an error in judgement. I’m sure a social worker can make them see the error in their ways. (sic) Sometimes people are natural born evil. The only cure for that is to destroy them in a manner set by law.
You would hope that the boys were raised right and taught right from wrong, then they get out there and get influenced by others just to fit in, peer pressure, and most of all the poison peddlers get a hold on them.
Then they turn into punks and thugs embracing violent behavior.. No respect for life, or authority. Their minds are poisoned even against family members. Not only have they took someone’s life, they ruined their own lives and have now caused anguish and despair for so many others. All for a bag of weed. All should be imprisoned for a long time. They cannot undo the destruction they caused to so many.
How much you wanna bet none of them know who their father is?
@ JTV…
We can add another “M” to your list. They Multiply, and we are not talking arithmetic.
Getting younger every year.
Violent rap , cop hating vids and gangsta glorification wouldn’t have anything to
with it.
Nah, its just a coincidence.
Will be interesting to see how the sentencing goes. Minors often serve lesser time due to their age when crime was committed.
Many gangs use very young kids to break into homes or steal vehicles knowing they will only get minimal time if any time at all.
Where has our society gone when these punks think it’s okay to just murder someone?
Minors, Marijuana, and Murder.
The reason our prisons are full, is because we don’t administer the death penalty to it’s fullest extent. We’ll be paying for trash like this for a long long time.
