(50,254 posts)The kid was a minor when he killed those people, so his parents are responsible for his actions.
And no, nobody ever beats the rich in a civil suit...deep pockets always guarantee a win.
Basically, you're saying this kid(and it's ONLY a rich white kid that would ever get this treatment)should just get away with it...shouldn't face ANY consequences at all...shouldn't EVEN have to freaking apologize.
Yes, we do need an alternative to the PIC, but letting this kid kill and get off scot-free can't possibly be part of making that happen.
You can't really feel this way, but your posts make it sound like you don't give a damn about the dead, the wounded, and their families...that it doesn't matter to you that all those people suffered. Please, re-read what you've posted...it sounds like all that matters to you here is saying that, as a crime-fighting method, prison sucks. You just can't leave it at that and expect anyone to listen to you. Prison does suck, the PIC is corrupt...but alternative consequences have to be created somehow, or else people will just waste each other for playing the damn stereo too loud.
