69 Years is Long Enough

[Jeff Higgins]

This is absolutely incredible. Three young 20-something thugs beat a 69 year old to death. At the sentencing hearing for one of these young men, his mother, in front of the grieving family of the victim, pleads for leniency from the judge. Her justification? The old fart was 69; he wasn't wasn't going to live forever anyway, was he?

30 years? What is the matter with a true life sentence?

[Tyson Schmidt]

Gee, I wonder why her son came out all fuched up?

Why not 3 yrs in Iraq? Tatoo an American flag on their foreheads.

Incredulous, wasn't it? Neverthless, footage of this gave me a clue why O.J. is playing golf these days...

He should have been given the death penalty.

[HardDrive]

Utter scum. Life, no parole. Don't give him the satisfaction of checking out early. Let him rot.

I hope their cellmates are psycho ex-military special forces.

Do you suppose, if it were possible for courts to hold parents responsible for the actions of their offspring, they would be a bit more careful impressing upon them the difference between right and wrong?

I'm going to throw some gas on the fire here, and probably get called a racist to boot. What the hell. The three thugs were black. The victim was white. None of you picked up on that. Why? Because it is not mentioned anyhere in the article. "The alleged motive was robbery, though nothing apparently was taken". Right. No one involved, none of the attackers, were apparently charged with a "hate crime" either. If the races were reversed, I kind of think the prosecutor, court, and press might have approached this a little differently.

What a vicious crime. I say they deserve nothing less than toture. Pieces of $hit...

Why is it that something like 90% of interracial crime is by blacks on other races, mostly white and hispanic, but its almost never called a hate crime.

When its black on white crime, it's a "bias incident"
When its white on black crime, it's a "RACIAL CRIME"!

Thats the media for ya!

I consider the term "hate crime" to lack logic. Who cares what the motivation or racial background of the criminal is when he's beating your skull in? He could claim to be doing it out of love...it's the CRIME that matters, not the emotional state or race of the perpetrator. IMO, if we all looked at it that way, all of us of all colors, the world might become a better place. Getting a LOT tougher than handing out a piddly 30 years sentence for a vicious
murder would help a lot as well.

What you talkin bout Willis?

Clearly, black people are inferior and inherently evil, as evidenced by this incident. Makes you wonder why they were any good at being slaves in the first place. Why werent slaves grabbed from, say Albania instead?

[stomachmonkey]

Stuart. Go f yourself you low life racist piece of ****.

[Jeff Higgins]

Hmm... I hate to stick up for Stuart, but I think he was being sarcastic.
