Wow, just wow, Kill those bastards. Don't even bother with the electric chair, or even a noose. Just shoot them. It's more than they deserve.
Sorry really quick technicality, LA country =/= LA. Small complaint but it bugged me a little that everyone is talking about LA when the article said Canyon Country. I am in and out of LA a couple times a week and I have no idea where this Canyon Country is.
OT. Jeepers kids these days. They should have just hocked the gun and got A LOT more money, and probably would not have gotten a guy killed.

lets kick it old testament style!... stone em'...
people like this are a waste of space, i feel bad for the man who lost his life, and the family that is now missing a member. they should be made to suffer, more to be an example to future idiots who don't respect human life.

Damn, that is messed up.
Good on that person for trying to protect the kid being robbed. I (hope that I) would have done the same in that situation, but damn, that's messed up.

OT: I find it hard to even form an opinion on this.
It does make me think we have some candidates in case we invoke pirate stye punishment again though. Keelhauling and such might be a fun experience for someone who thinks a gaming system is worth more than human life.

No, absolutely not. As stupid as those teenagers were and as bad as the crimes they committed were, they're still teens. Keep them far from society and make them learn the hard way; the guilt will get to them.Heimir said:
Besides, Capital Punishment is the worse deterrent on violent crime than regular imprisonment of criminals. It's costly, it's inhumane, it doesn't bring down crime rates in the long term, and it's used as an outlet for vengeance rather than actual justice.
Call me naive, but this isn't ancient Mesopotamia. You'd think that modern society would be sane enough to not spill four teenager's worth of blood after the blood of one person's been spilled already.
Ahem. I'm 17. There are millions of other teenagers out there who have more sense than these four idiots.Troublesome Lagomorph said:

This good samaritan is a hero. It's a shame he died... And all this over a DS? Come on! What the hell is wrong with those kids?!

The thing about punishment and rehabilitation is that it been glamorized so much that kids don't see it as a big thing. They'll do their time, they MIGHT change and yet most go right back to doing stupid shit. Sometimes extreme measures are needed before people take the basic punishment, rehab seriously again and not go right back to doing that stupid shit that got'em into trouble in the first place. It's also a part of the government to make sure criminals can merge back into society right by giving them quality work.Mahorfeus said:

People with gun access are much more likely to commit suicide because passing ideas can so quickly become permanent reality. Throw in the neurological restrictions on adolescents' abilities to have mature impulse control, it's an obvious recipe for disaster. I would have less remorse if the kids beat someone to death, or slowly killed someone. In those cases there's an intention to cause suffering for the sake of suffering.
A used DS split 4 ways is like 15 dollars each. What a fucking waste of time. Seriously, if you're stupid enough to kill someone for 15 dollars, you deserve to rot in prison. If they had a gun, why the hell didn't they rob a store or something that would yield more money or whatever? I just don't understand, if the kid needed such a small amount of money I'd give it to the idiot if it would literally save a life.
I would have hated to be the one selling the damn thing. Kid was just trying to sell the DS for maybe $50 that he probably would have spent on a new game. What did he get? Beat up, Shot in the leg, and witnessed a murder. Perfect. Just. Fucking. Perfect.
