no one cares. kids a punk and needs jailtime. I wouldn't ask for murder charges, but fuck dude. This isn't a kick in the shins or a punch in the shoulder. He intended to do this person harm, and killed him. Punishment is warranted. 7+ years in prison seems fair.
This isn't someone robbing a liquor store because he's an addict or hungry and penniless. This was plain maliciousness. Of course he can be rehabbed, but he needs to feel the weight of his actions too.
Rehabilitation can include ( a lot of) prison time. It's the false dichotomy of life without parole vs. let him run free (I don't think this has been argued though, only implied by people who think he deserves life or worse) that's bugging me.
There are a lot of possible years between nothing and life.
Today you learn that GAF isn't a single-minded entity.
Of course. It's a trend though that has been visible in several threads.
