    “Most people” recognize life without parole as cruel punishment and don’t want it. Let alone for kids. Of Western European countries only the Netherlands and UK have life without parole sentences. Canada also, for the most part, does not have it.

      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.

        You seriously think someone who’s brain won’t be fully developed for another TEN YEARS, can’t possibly evolve into a better person?

          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.
