What is humorous here - the people who tie Holder, Sharpton and Obama as somehow 'responsible' for the 'irresponsibility' of the youth who committed this terrible crime. I bet the kids probably don't even know who Holder and Sharpton are, and probably have only a 'he is president' (if we are lucky) answer to who Obama is.

I'm sure as you said that many will not be dissuaded from their criminal activities by seeing a swifter and more visible punishment than what we currently have. However there could be a percentage who do. I wouldn't mind doing an experiment to see how it works. But I'm not in charge so fat chance it would happen.
Regarding the inclusion of Holder, Obama, Sharpton - my interpretation is the disdain is how vocal they are when blacks are killed by whites but not the reverse. I don't really care about that (political) aspect myself. My focus is let's string these hood rats up and let's do it pronto!
But again - fat chance that will happen.
