Box cutter used to kill teacher

33. What's an adult, though? In MA, you can vote at 18, but you can't buy alcohol.

In UK, you can drink beer or wine with a meal if you're 16 and someone else pays for it.

I think he needs more than a couple of years in juvenile hall for that heinous murder. Depending on what he perceived as his "motive," he may need to be locked up for a long, long time--perhaps in a psychiatric facility.

No one outside law enforcement really knows anything yet, but schizophrenia--and often the real intractable kind--usually hits young men (more than young women, statistically) in their teen-to-young-adult years. If a young man can make it to thirty without exhibiting symptoms of schizophrenia, he's usually safe from it. But that's pure speculation on my part--maybe he was an unusually mature contract killer, for all I know...I'm just guessing, here.


FWIW, incarcerated felons can't vote in MA. Their voting rights are returned to them, though, after they get outta jail.
