#1 Ja'Mari Jones? Now there's an Amish name with great promise written all over it. We should all be looking for great things from this young man in the future.

#2 Just remember this event when the usual suspects play a guilt card with the line 'what is a human life worth'.

#3 if they was big enough too beat a man too death then they are big enough too do some real time behind bars. What's bad is some of them where convisted of another robbery and got 36 weeks too run consecutively which means they don't get shit for it. I don't anyhting about the laws in Washington but sounds like someone needs too change the age when someone can be charged as an adult in violent crimes like these.

#4 Because they are not legally adults, none could face a sentence longer than 72 weeks in juvenile detention.

They should have been charged as adults. Their parents pay as well.

#7 Heinlein had the answer. When children commit crimes, you flog them in the public square. At the same time, you flog their parents right along side of them.

What really saddens me though, is the shift in populations seems to be heading toward the sort of future that Pournelle had in his CoDominium Universe, there was citizens...who were kept happy with free drugs, rent and food from the government, with no real hope of getting out and Taxpayers.

#8 Seems like they could be tried as adults if a prosecutor brought it before a judge.

#9 If they'd emailed somebody pictures of themselves nekkid they'd have been tried as adults.
