children do not have fully developed frontal cortices. the fact that you want the state to murder one is the saddest thing i ever heard.

20 years in prison is on par for murder. Emotional motivations do not upgrade murders to first degree. Learn a little bit about the law, you nub.
Premeditation does though. So does the fact that he was charged with a hate crime. I think you should take some of your own advice "nub"
Pre-meditation, in a legal sense, is not as clear cut or easy to prove as you think. Especially when you have a stupid teenager who was being provoked. The defense could make an argument he was just bringing the gun to scare the person, or wasn't sure if he wanted to kill him or not.
Okay, so add another year or two for a hate crime. You'd still be complaining. You want this upgraded to 1st degree murder, you want blood.

it's not Non's fault. his brain is just wired in such a way that his limbic system explodes when something 'wrong' happens and he comes to the conclusion that vengeance must be had. I just kind of made that up but it's nevertheless a very emotional decision. non sounds a lot like the father of the victim in an apoplectic rage. i hope i spelled that right. he is emotional and not thinking rationally, just like non.
not trying to put you down but, face the facts?  |

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.

By your logic, those who perform the death sentence are also murderers. They are forcibly and knowingly taking another's life. Where does it end? Two wrongs never make a right.
Also, the definition of murder is to illegally kill something. Abortion is legal, therefore not murder.

The odds are that if these same circumstances had happened between two straight kids, he would have gotten the same sentence. Let's just say the one straight kid was bullying/harassing the other (albeit not sexually) and no one was doing anything to stop it. So the harassed kid starts feeling kind of desperate and tells someone he's gonna bring a gun and take care of things himself.
As I recall, the jury went with the second degree conviction instead of first degree because they felt it was more appropriate under the circumstances- being that he was feeling trapped with the harassment and that he couldn't get any help from the school administration, and probably felt like he didn't have much else in the way of options. Plus the fact that he was a kid. He's 17 now and this happened 4 years ago, didn't it? So he was 13? Yeah. A kid.
Plus, the sentencing is generally the same for second and first degree murder charges, excepting capital punishment. Hardly getting off "almost scot free".

Why oh why did you have to open up that can of worms? NON's responses already make little sense, now you're going to make it worse.
