Should Evil Teens Be Tried as Adults?

[JeNNiF00F00]

Yes, but lobsters are not cute and soft and fluffy so no one cares.

Lobsters are lower on the food chain and are basically bugs of the sea and they are food. Most people don't eat cats. This was done out of cruelty and shows that she has NO respect for life. Kittens and Dogs and of the like TRUST humans to take care of them. I say stuff the girl in an oven and see how long she lasts as the heat builds up. People that kill animals for fun like this are sociopaths. Something is not right with her, she should not be allowed to mix among the rest of society and is basically scum.

I'm more frightened by the lobster-boilers, cow-cutters, and pig-fuckers who aren't ever ostracized by society.

If people aren't corrected by others, how will they ever learn the right morals?!

My opinion is consistency first. If you can't have sex with an adult before you turn 18, then we shouldn't be charging people under 18 with adult crimes when it suits our needs. If they are incapable of thinking like an adult in all areas of life then picking out a crime to charge them as an adult is off base.

I wouldn't be against charging everyone across the board under the same statutes on any crime. If you're guilty then go to jail.

Sick chick.

I don't like cats much but I wouldn't bake one.

Jeffrey Dahmer did crap like this.

One of the trademarks of serial killers.

In this case you don't need stress morals. Even a tribesman from inner africa whos free from western morals, as we know them, couldn't do that, because these natives have a much stronger admiration for life itself. They could kill as part of a ritual but not because they don't like a living being.

Assuming she can't vote then my usual "Taxation, or cat killing, without representation applies and the answer is no.
Why shoule they be smart/wise enough to know right from wrong but not to vote for people who do know.

GORGEOUS reply. I didn't even think of it that way, but you are absolutely correct. I'm all for punishing these rodents of society. A lot of these teenagers now exactly what they are doing. They know the consequences also. But if we are to punish them, supposing they are intelligent enough to know right from wrong, as you said, we must also give them all the other rights that come with being an "adult".

Again, good post.

If someone boiled my pet lobster I'd be just as pissed as if they baked my cat. It being property and a pet makes the difference.

A 17-year-old Terrytown man was arrested on charges of aggravated rape and first-degree murder of an 8-month-old child Saturday afternoon, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said.

She owes her ex-roommate a new kitten. Let her work and save up money to purchase one. That should be her penalty, as sick as it was for her to roast a kitten.

Save up, Theo? Unless the kitten was a pure bred, you can get kittens for free. This is no penalty.

Better yet, her penalty should be mandatory PETA sessions and examinations for a month. That'll straighten her out.

Maybe. But, it may be the best that we should do.

Crabs get their legs pulled off before they're boiled alive too.

This is merely destruction of property. People get too worked up because they project human qualities on these animals. And then it's only the cute ones that matter.

 

[muh_roads]

Invoking the lobster proves people here seem to be missing the point. Doing this to someones kitten is destruction of someone elses property. The girl should be punished in some way.

I suppose I'm taking this down the path of, if you own the pet, you can do what you want to it but I'm not sure I want to advocate for that.

All I know is this girl killed someone elses beloved personal possession. It's a crime.


EDIT: I guess boberino already answered.

They shouldn't be tried as adults because they are not adults. But the system fails when it lets minors out and expunges the record when they turn 18.

A child of 12 who murders a parent shouldn't be tried as an adult, but also shouldn't be let out of juvie when hi hits his 18th birthday.

How much is a cat worth?

There are quite a few wandering outside. I can give you one that's laying about on the deck -- free to, eh.... anywhere but here.... How much do you think it'd cost to ship a cat?

Maybe we should charge based on psychological damage. Some say we should give murderers a life in prison, but I don't believe it gives proper emotional damage. After all, we aren't trying to correct a problem -- we're trying to avenge. Yes, instead, we ought to do something more fitting, with psychological effects. Water boarding or caustic acid ought to do it.

Edit: And I see you are also calling them by the derogatory title of "lobster". Please call them sea kittens.... Fish can be, uh.... Dogs, I suppose.
