Is the Internet making us indifferent?

[Alex Bragi]

...

I have the misfortune of knowing a family whose child did a murder. He was hounded by a bully. His girlfriend was raped by the bully. The bully bragged he would do it again and threatened his life. He's in adult prison, no parole. No prior record of any kind. It's made me rethink my attitude against juvenile leniency. Who's to blame? His parents? The bully's parents?

That's an extremely sad case, Oz, peppered with mitigating circumstances.

damn that just harsh.
on the subject of punishment. stumping should be implemented.
nail the boy's ball sacks to a tree stump and light it on fire. give them a dull spoon and the option of castration or death by immolation. after that burn their scalps off with lye and brand an "S" into their foreheads. honestly they may have been teens but they knew what they were doing.
