Yeah, I know. I was trying to point out I hold no special treatment for juveniles. If a 6 yer old murders another human they probably don't realize the gravity of there actions. But they sure as hell know they're doing something wrong.

yessir. agreed. and yes i do have limitations. 6 is entirely too young to give the penalty to, but then again where/how do we make children account for their behavior? i am a new father by 2 and 1/2 years. NBN asked me earlier if T (my boys first initial) was wrongly accused of commiting murder and sentanced to death how would i feel about it. i sat and thought for a little bit and said what any parent would say, "it's wrong!" BUT you do have appeals in the USA and they should rightfully be used. it's your right as an American. i feel that if you strike out 3 times then so be it. if it was my son at age 10 and he murdered someone, then, well, i'd hate to see it happen, but you should reap what you sew and be accountable for your actions. heh. accountable for your actions. am i the only one who could trip on a neighbors curb and not blame them for it?
