If you’re sixteen and decide to rape and murder a child (or anyone for that matter) I think you should still get life. You took a life and destroyed an entire family, why should you ever get a clean slate when your victims never can.
In reality I think they should just send them off to a firing squad. There are some people who just aren’t meant to exist in civilized society. Blame their upbringing, blame whatever you want, the point stands.
I didn’t say that.. I’m saying if you rape and murder someone you don’t deserve a chance to evolve into a better person. You’ve taken away another person’s chance to do anything ever. There are some things that can’t be forgiven.
