 I just watched the deliberate murder of that bicyclist in Las Vegas.

They need to be tried as adults.

I’m disgusted in our society.

 @449841af i was thinking that those two actually deserve lynching with public hanging as a finale, but I do understand how you might want to go easy on them.

 @449841af I'm not familiar with that story, but about 2 years ago we had a father of 3 get hit by a car while on his morning run.  We live in a town of 25k people, outside of Seattle.  So it became pretty big news.

They eventually found the killers from a city about 20 minutes away.  Two 15 year old girls stole their mom's car and went out for a joy ride and thought it would be "funny" to hit him.

What is wrong with these kids?!

 @449841af this one is a little less clear cut for me since it was a retired cop (all cops are bad because they enforce the corrupt system). But I say try them as kids so the parents can be punished as well (or whatever, as long as there are consequences for the parents too). Death penalty for all!
