Should teens be tried as an adult for commiting murder?
I'm over 40 and I think that everyone should be convicted for crimes the same way.


Crime being damage done to others and their properties. That pretty much cover all number 3 with the exception of stalking that may require a more clear definition.


Teenagers are responsible for their actions. We all are.


I don't like the idea of sentences as punishment. Criminals must make amendments to the victims.


Of course, you can amend most physical damages or death.


But the point is that taking someone away has to be a way to secure us from the harm that the criminal may do in the future.


If there's no way to insure that, the criminal must be taken away permanently. Death penalty? I don't know. Maybe a safe location where they can be thrown away and be abandoned to stay away from us. Men and women separated of course.

Life sentence for murder, attempted murder, sexually assaulting someone. I say life sentence because it seems like a crueller punishment to lock someone up for the rest of their life without any freedom and serving their crime rather than to simply end their life without them having to suffer. Prisons for mass murderers, rapists etc shouldn't have entertainment, fun, tv...etcetc..i mean its a prison for crying out loud, they shouldn't be allowed to have fun or anything like that. if they've committed the crime, they must pay the price.
