Ciao mystery poet, you now have 4 votes.
Justice was not served.
Beasley took a life and I say he should get the Capitol punishment or a life sentence depending on the age of the perpetrator, how violent the act was, and did he show remorse etc.
Yesterday a 12- year-old student in Finland armed himself, went to school and shot dead one student, and wounded seriously two others.
I heard the news reporter say he will not be prosecuted due to his age. I don't agree with this. Today kids know far more than I did at 10/12 .
He took the gun to kill so he shouldn't get off by being sent to a community and then at age 18 freed.
If he was being bullied, he should have reported it instead of taking matters into his own hands.
It's time there were prisons for under 18s. Many kids today are violent, they rape other teens ..and they just get community time.
I don't agree.

Hello Author,
I couldn't agree with you more. Five years is a slap in the face to the family of the man who was murdered and to society as a whole. We are experiencing an epidemic of crime in this country as progressive judges and prosecutors seek to undermine the justice system. Good luck in the contest.
Blessings,
Tom

These are sad times. Devaluing life is a bad deal all the way around.

Violence everywhere seems to be on the increase. Homicides like this one are commonplace. A man is shot and killed over something minor and the killer receives a slap on the wrist. Your message comes through loud and clear in thisshortie.
