The death penalty is a horrible idea. It is far more expensive than life in prison, it serves no purpose in a just society (it is not rehabilitative, and is not more of a deterrent or a preventative than life in prison), and inherently carries a non-zero chance of killing innocent people. As for the four young men that committed *seven* hate crimes, amounting in over $1000 worth of damage each? They were charged with third degree felonies and could face 15 years in prison for their actions. Robbing a convenience store and beating the clerk would be a first degree felony, which can carry a life sentence. @john

There most certainly are guiding principles to our judicial system. this is not the stone-age where everyone just wings it.... how did you a determine there were not, did you try looking it up?

The problem lies with no guiding principles to our judicial system. Look at the four youths that vandalized that jewish church. They will probably get more time then someone who robs a convenience store and beats the clerk. We should’nt be housing murderers for life, when there is justification for execution.

"Awaiting trial" for possible conviction of First Degree Murder must be gut-churning for a 17 year old who may serve the rest of his life in Prison. Stupid decisions lead to terrible consequences. Two Mothers are mourning the deaths of their sons. Two Mothers are losing their sons because of stupid choices. “LIFE in Prison” for a 20 year old that can be a Very Long Time to Serve.

Life is not a video game nor movie. There are REAL consequences to YOUR actions.. Its a simple message and these two idiots are perfect examples. Even major players in the GAME dont just start blasting.... This should be taught in school… Life is not a video game nor movie. There are REAL consequences to YOUR actions..

Everyone wants to see our streets get clean, well it's time the citizens that know what happens in some of these cases come forward and let's help law enforcement and courts. I feel sorry for all these families. Prayers to everyone involved. Piece of advice I want to just put out there. If you have young kids such as these keep an eye for them. Don't think they are ok because you think they are grown. So glad the courts are helping get this drug/street thugs off our streets.
