20-30 years. A fully mentally functioning 14 year old who shoots up his school does not deserve a free pass.

Rehabilitation until 18 (not f**king evil)

You have pretty strong views, and and in your world agreeing with you on about 60% is just as awful as agreeing with you not at all.

If a 14-year-old brat murdered your mom in cold blood, you would support having that kid completely free at 18, correct?

Sick burn bro.

Yes, I would favor that person being legally off the hook at 18, provided that he spent the four years in between at some kind of mental institution or rehabilitative facility, with continued monitoring of him until he was not deemed a significant threat to society anymore.

So you support the affluenza kid being sentenced to a couple years of horseback riding and massages?

Looks like I'm the only who voted "Juvenile incarceration until age 21".

Rehabilitation until 18 (not f**king evil)


Both of these are absurd.  I voted 30 years, and only for the most horrific crimes.  It's a shame that the justice system tends to force a choice between these outrageous extremes.  

Moderate heroism?

As opposed to far left heroism or far right heroism?
