If I had my way, they would be dropped in the Everglades, with their hands and legs tied up, smothered in whatever scent attracts alligators. Unfortunately the legal system which prevents me from doing this is also the legal system that will probably let them off with a slap on the wrist.

They will get off far lighter than they deserve thats for sure... they should be made unemployable for the rest of their lives which no way out, and a year or two in prison would help two.

And it's typical for someone, an adult to think about grades, good grades aren't exactly a problem to get, considering you get taught everything, it's essentially remembering stuff. EVERYONE can remember stuff. Even evil little bastards.

Quite a bit of stage 2 mortality [http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~ncoverst/Kohlberg%27s%20Stages%20of%20Moral%20Development.htm] going on here.

The ironic bit being that this was sort of what they were thinking of when they set about performing the heinous crime to begin with.

One of the suspects moms was like "They're good kids, they have good grades, no problems in school. Wrong place, wrong people." No, they set a kid on fire within an inch of his life.

I heard elsewhere their lawyer is saying "they're too young to know what they were doing, and what the consequences are." The consequences of setting a kid on fire. Keep in mind they're 15 year olds who LAUGHED about what they did.
First: this mom has some very strange ideas about what qualifies as a "good kid."

Second: I propose that we resolve the the-kids-didn't-know-what-they-were-doing problem by letting the victim's parents set them on fire. That should be plenty educational.

What upsets me the most about this (aside from the poor boy who was lit aflame) is that some media douche-nozzle is going to spin this into another Anti-Video Game campaign, like the Brandon Crisp story. >,<;

Before I start, yeah, burning another person is wrong and all that. Now that that's out of the way, there's just a few things that just aren't quite adding up here.

First off, why was he borrowing 40 dollars from people who quite obviously didn't have his best interests at heart? Based on what the story is saying here, I'm imagining an almost mafia-esque type dealing. He didn't realize these people seemed slightly psychotic? Also, why was he borrowing 40 dollars in the first place? His family seems decently well off if his dad was not only able to invest 500 dollars in a custom bicycle, but was okay with lending it to his son. Maybe the thugs broke onto his premises (SP?) and damaged the bike then, but I'm going to presume that's not the case for the sake of my argument. And then there's the whole issue of whether or not the victim here was taught to pay back money he owed. It's not as if the thugs bee-lined straight to torching the guy, there was very likely a lot of build up before it.

Anyways, like I'm sure all y'all love to do, I'm going to say a lot of the blame here lies with the parents. No, not just the burninator's parents, but the victims too. Or maybe the victim himself. He should have either gone to his parents in the first place, or just respected their wishes instead of going behind their backs to acquire the funds necessary to get the game (Which, once again, if the parents were teaching him right, he would have saved up money for if he wanted if badly enough). Also, the parents should have drilled into the victim's head that dealing with people who clearly don't have your best interests at heart is likely to get you bu...Not finishing that one. Anyways.

I don't think the firestarters need to be shot, but certainly punished severely, and then rehabilitated. I'm not going to toss away lives at such an early stage, irrelevant of what they do. We need to show them some sort of higher thinking, better way.

I say set the attackers on fire.

Eye for an Eye justice is the only way to get people to think before they do something stupid.

the kids who did this shit needs to pay all the money they´ll ever earn to that guy, or be treated with Eye For Eye punishment.


another option might be to send them to a remote island. then a helicopter will fly by once a week with a beef and a bottle of water, so they can fight over it like wild dogs.

I'm glad I live in a backwards red state in this respect we lock up people like this and throw away the key.
only throw the key away? aww... why not just "accidently" hit it with a sledgehammer?

I hope they're tried as adults and spend the rest of their lives reflecting on the crime they committed, over $40.

And those lives may be a lot shorter than they think once they're released from the correctional facility.

I realize that our perception of responsibilty and right/wrong broadens as we age, but how the flying fuck can't you understand that lighting someone on fire for money equals bad? This isn't ignorance, this is sociopathy. Lock the sons of bitches up, throw away the key, and let them eat shit.

These kinds of topics always devolve into "think up cruel and morbid punishments for the perpetrators"...

I know, it's kinda disturbing how quickly we start calling for blood. I always feel ashamed afterwards
