What the fuck. So he murdered her, then the next day ordered it.

I read he'll do 60 years, but screw that, he should be locked for life. Poor woman didn't deserve to die. 😞

If that wasn't bad enough, they wanted to reduce the bail to $100:



I know Boomer politicians will eventually use this to blame video games as the cause of making people violent (it's what they always do).

RIP to this mother.

Kinda.

In the U.K. there's the shocking horror story of two kids aged 10 (Jon Venables and another piece of shit) who murdered a little boy for fun, his name was James Bulger and he was only 2 years old.

Venables has been found with CP content and yet he'll be eligible to be set free and with a new identity while Bulger was denied to live his life.



Regardless of country, there are lunatics. We just don't recognize them because they don't look any different than "normal" people.

This is what happens when you spoil kids and don't discipline them. There's an old saying "spare the rod and spoil the child", back in my day corporal punishment was around - if you stepped out of line in school, you'd be belted. If you stepped out of line at home, you'd be belted. Politicians shouldn't have interfered in the discipline side of things in either of those places, that's why a lot of todays kids are spoiled, entitled little brats & why there's so many socialist type twats in the western world.
This ten year old, needs to spend a good portion of life now being re-educated so that he doesn't go out and murder anyone else.

Proverbs 13:24

If politicians and people payed more attention to Leviticus 24:19-21, there'd be far less murders and crime.

This is one of the reasons I want to start a business where I just get to beat your kids for you.

It'd be something like Uncle Poosta's Fun Time Discipline Camp of Smiles. The premise is simple; a lot of parents do not want their kids to resent them for corporal punishment, nor to instill fear in a child of a specific parent, to be used as a threat to encourage better behavior (i.e.; "You just wait til your father gets home!").

Forget all that noise. You can just pay ME to thrash the crap out of your brats, and it's a job I can do with a smile. Hence the name (never said it was your kids who would be smiling).

I can't see a loser in this scenario. You get well-behaved kids who don't resent either parent. Society gets well-adjusted adults one day who understand that if they fuck up, they might catch an ass-whooping. I get the unbridled joy of beating the crap out of your awful kids, and I also get your money. Everything is legal and above-the-board. We'll offer benefits and childcare reimbursement. Room for advancement.

Everyone wins.

Who's with me? This is an easily franchisable idea. We could have one of these fun, happy places of learning and discovery in every major city, helping to foster in a new age of enlightenment, decency and respect. Smiles for everyone (mostly).

This was pretty much school when I went to it:



Instead of the cane we got the belt, first time I got it I was about 10 - for spitting in the playground. I got it mostly for fighting and being cheeky, you knew the teachers you were likely to get belted from so weren't as cheeky in their classrooms.

I distinctly remember most of my elementary school being terrified of our principal, because he kept a wooden paddle with holes in it hanging from the wall in his office. It was a well-worn paddle that had definitely plapped quite a few rapscallions smartly across the buttocks. That was a wonderful deterrent against misbehaving in class.

And that's just if you did something bad enough to wind up in his office. The teachers were completely within their rights to slap your palms with a ruler, and several of them would take that same ruler to your backside if you acted up.

No parent ever complained. Not one.

I am 100% in support of corporal punishment. Not just for kids. I WISH we had flogging and caning as a means of punishment for adults in America.

A decent public flogging would definitely be a deterrent against all of these pieces of shit looting stores in Buffalo during a blizzard, or in Minneapolis during widespread riots.

I'm for having chain gangs or local prisoners working at the side of busy highways - digging holes and smashing rocks, so people driving by could see them working hard for no money and would want to avoid prison at all costs. There would be no cushy time at all in prison if I had my way. Also I would be in favour of stocks in town centres so people could see who the criminals were and give them shit, mind you in America if you were put in stocks and left overnight, some pervert would try and bum you to death. As for the unemployed, any more than 3 months and you'd be put to work in the workhouse to earn your benefits - we'd see a lot less wasters and scroungers then.

This is one of the reasons I love former Sheriff Joe Arpaio so much. His Tent City was one of the best ideas to ever be executed.

People SHOULD fear the repercussions of their actions, if they harm other people, and if simple incarceration doesn't work, then I am completely cool with upping the ante.

Bread and water, no privileges, no comforts, hard labor and public scorn/shame. All of these are pretty much free, except the bread. I'm perfectly cool with prisoners receiving only two meals per day, all of them grey meat bologna sammiches and maybe an apple and a warm half-pint of milk.

No ecigs. No rec yard. No internet access for anyone, ever. Hard labor every day. Even better if it's performed in public. I would LOVE a stockade.

Decent people would have nothing to fear. The only people who COULD get mad at this are the ones who support criminality, which, nine times out of ten in America, is tied to culture.

I'd vote for a president or politicians that condoned this. I am an eye for an eye type of person. A thief that steals stuff, should pay back for everything they stole + the recompensate again for that value so they would pay back the cost+the value of the item and that would solve a lot of the theiving issues. If they are unable to pay fines with money, they pay with labour. If you kill someone, instant death as soon as you are convicted so the state doesn't need to pay to feed you. I'd make prisoners families pay for the upkeep of the prisoners, such as electric, food etc, so there was no cost to the tax payers. You'd soon see a drop in prison popultation. All prisoners currently incarcerated would need to pay back what they cost the state either in loss of benefits/fines or labour charges. Anyone causing damage to someone else's property would have their assets seized and sold to pay for the damage. I'd sort America out once and for all, any corrupt politicians would spend life in prison and their families wealth would be seized by the state. I'd also get rid of lobying politicians. Big pharma/globalsist companies would be banned from having offshore tax havens/loopholes to hide their money. They would pay the same tax as everyone else.

ther was a boy who only got imprisonment (at 13) for shooting his family (then again i remember the family practiced incest and they had evidence to support it) until he was 21 then released on probation how the hell can you justify locking up a 10 yr old for 60 years let alone charge him as an adult (think here the accused needs to be 13 minimum to allow consideration of adult charges he's only 10 i doubt he even understands what his actions caused fully (mental incompentence) still a family grieves but the chages don't fit the mental capacity of the accused

The world will be a better place with him away from the public. Just think if this murderer was freed in 10 years or so and then someone's poor daughter unaware of his past ended up at the wrong end of one of his temper tantrums. Nope I feel zero pity for this cretin, some people are just born bad and he was one of them. RIP the mother, she should have been harder on him and maybe she'd still be alive and that boy wouldn't have ended up locked up for the rest of his prime years.

Decent people end up in jail, too. Not all laws are reasonable and/or morally wrong, not all police follow the law, and sometimes people are just in the wrong place at the wrong time and end up wrongfully convicted.

Anyways, treating people like utter garbage has been shown to be highly ineffective at preventing reoffense. USA's rate of reoffense/recidivism is sky high, compare to for example Norway where criminals are treated like human beings and the focus is on rehabilitating rather than punishing, the rate of reoffense is much lower, one of the lowest in the world.

In Saudi Arabia, you can get your hand cut off for stealing, crime is dealt with harshly and there's relatively low crime in that country - especially for things like adultery which isn't considered a crime in the west. So it seems to me that if you deal harshly with criminals there's quite a detterant. If you kill murderers they aren't going to kill anyone else and if you have people are on the roads in chain gangs, people driving past watching them will see that and not want to be in the same position.

Consequences for your actions is the way to deal with crime, but the cosequences need to be harsher than the crime committed in my opinion, I am all for going medievil on some of these cretins going about nowadays, and I wouldn't shed a tear for any of the criminals getting the harsh treatment they deserve. You can bet for sure that the criminals don't give a damn about their victims or the lives they ruin.

Discipline has nothing to do with corporal punishment. Most people in most countries are not hit as punishment for wrongdoing, and they turn out OK. I was never hit as a child and I never murdered anyone.
It is most likely that the child was spoiled and given everything they wanted and couldn't emotionally handle being told they couldn’t have something because they had never been in that situation.
The elephant in the room though, why the hell did a ten year old have access to a gun? It’s weird that gun crime is higher in the country that has the most guns isn’t it, but we aren’t allowed to talk about that are we.

I love the christians practically masturbating each other off over how absolutely normal and well adjusted they are for wanting to physically hurt other people. Ain't no hate like christian love.

You boomers that got beaten in school and at home are some of the most hateful and resentful people on the planet, well behaved in public for optics but absolute garbage behind closed doors or to anyone who you believe is inferior to yourselves.

As for the actual topic, hope the kid gets a full psych evaluation, somehow I doubt the only problem the kid had was being spoiled by his mom. The other problem being why did the kid have access to a gun? Those should be kept safely away from children because even without intentional killings like this accidents can happen and it's better to avoid those by just not providing the opportunity for them.
