Comments on: New push to move King murder trial to juvenile court http://www.365gay.com/news/new-push-to-move-king-murder-trial-to-juvenile-court/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:11:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: game over http://www.365gay.com/news/new-push-to-move-king-murder-trial-to-juvenile-court/comment-page-1/#comment-40356 game over Sun, 25 Jan 2009 00:01:07 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=4955#comment-40356 Get the word out to all "children"... The minute you THINK you are "man" enough to pick up a gun and hurt another human, then you are "Man" enough to pay the price. Do adult crimes, pay adult prices. If he goes to Juvenile, he gets out at 18 years old and gets his records clean(this is what used to be traditionally done with Juninile cases, but may have changed.) Do you want him and other thugs out on the street again? Maybe next time it will be YOU or YOUR loved one Murdered in cold blood. I also suggest then IF you are not going to prosecute a "minor" for an Adult crime, then maybe we should go after the Parents. What the hell are 14 year olds doing on the streets with guns? Either momma don't want the kids and the christian right wing didn't allow her to abort it 14 years ago or the woman is really a hard worker trying to make ends meet, but still the kid is/was ignored. This has become the same ole American story in all cities. HORRIBLE. Read online about New Orleans murder in French Quarter recently, a woman was robbed and MURDERED on way home from work, by 3 TEENS (14 year old and two 15 year olds.) It has to STOP! To act as if these "kids" are sweet and innocent is NOT the answer. When I was 14 years old I was doing "chores" and kept my mind and hands busy with school, sports and other activities monitored by my parents. Straight people should NOT have children just because they can! Moreove, unless you are a complete moron, you know what the hell you are doing at age 14. You know that a gun can be used to KILL someone! Get the word out to all “children”…

However, it would be an injustice for this boy not to be punished for the rest of his life for what he did. Though it seems harsh to try a 14 year old as an adult, are we saying this 14 year old did not understand what he was doing? Do not forget the murder victim, or his family and friends. They will never be the same. This is a very difficult issue because there are so many circumstances involved.

Our visceral instincts lead us to want to see this boy punished severely but juvenile minds are not fully developed. They don't have the same appreciation as we adults have of what is right and wrong. Let me ask you--at what age did you truly realize the gravity of the actions you take? 18? 21? 30? The boy belongs in juvenile court. While I’m outraged by the young man’s actions, trying him in adult court is an injustice.

If a Gay teen who had been picked on relentlessly for a long time shot the bully in the head? Having said that, he's not an adult and should not be tried as one.

This is a Hate crime. This is like the "twinkie" defense of Dan White. If not tried as an adult it will send the message that it is O.K. for Teens to kill Gay Teens. If not already the Parents should be investigated. Tom in Long Beach He should be tried as an adult. This is a Hate crime. This is like the
