Two kids had a minor altercation at school. They agreed to meet at a nearby park after school to fight it out. However, they were both black, so you know it didn’t end there. One of them shot and killed the other. Here is the picture of 15 year old murderer Jacori Redding.
Sure, he is under 18, but that is a grown man. He knew, or should have known, that killing is wrong. For that reason, he should be tossed in prison for the rest of his life. He was charged with manslaughter, but the sheriff says the kid was found in the school cafeteria shortly after the shooting, with the handgun still in his possession. So may I suggest to the authorities that you actually do your jobs by adding some more charges:
- Possession of a firearm on school property
- Possession of a firearm by a minor
- Activate Florida’s 10-20-life enhancement
Still, we will be told that, since he is a minor, they don’t want to ruin his life because minors don’t understand right from wrong. The murderer was already facing charges of grand theft auto, and had other charges in his past. Letting him go seems to do nothing but encourage more illegal behavior.
They also need to find out where the gun came from, and file more charges for that. Was the gun stolen? Did an adult give it to him? We all know the investigation won’t go there, because it never does.
When I was a kid, I lived less than a mile from that school. It was a nice neighborhood back then, mostly technical workers and engineers working nearby at what was once Martin-Marietta. That changed over the years. The area is a crime ridden shit hole now.
At least no one of any value was killed. It isn’t like either of the kids involved in this were Fulbright scholars.

“They need help, they need help.”
No they don’t. That hasn’t worked. They need to learn actions have consequences. They also need to learn impulse control.

That pos will never change its ways. The fact he was in the cafeteria with the gun and not phased after killing another person says that he is seriously messed up.
Life sentence is a waste of money. Short rope and sudden stop will prevent reciticism.

I remain opposed to the death penalty. I don’t trust government workers enough to grant them that kind of power.

This may be politically incorrect in a horrible sort of way, but a plain reading of the 13th Amendment seems to imply that maybe we can make the life sentence in the form of slavery – sell him to the highest bidder? Overseas maybe? Just spit-balling here since the odds against anything like this being approved are astronomical. Takes the death penalty off the table and saves tax money. Still….

It doesn’t imply it, it straight up SAYS it. The 13th didn’t outlaw slavery. It outlawed slavery without due process of law.
“Thirteenth Amendment
Section 1
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”

They are the pitbulls of humanity.

I never looked like that. I also never even Thought about taking a gun to Bonham Hill, where matters of honor were dealt with. I wonder what the dead kid looked like.

“I remain opposed to the death penalty. I don’t trust government workers enough to grant them that kind of power.”
I agree, with one caveat: I do support administration of the death penalty by the intended victim at the occurrence of the crime.
As for punishment, Adam Smith had it right about 250 years ago: “Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.”
No, they won’t learn, nor can the be “rehabilitated.” They can, however, be securely detained, continually worked to complete exhaustion under severe conditions and serve as an example, and warning, to others. Not that the others will learn anything from that either, but half a century of turning large rocks into small ones does provide a useful product.

Bad seed. Irredeemable. The only logical solution is to remove this waste of skin from the population…and the gene pool. A rational society would do so. We don’t live in a rational society.
