Grand jury identifies Rivera as gunman in death of Taylor

Look if any of you are looking for the death penalty for any of these guys you can forget it. The shooter is 17 and the Supreme Court just ruled that it's Unconstitutional to exucute anyone under 18. The rest of these idiots are not even eligible for the death penalty under Florida law.

My big concern is this. Some of these guys will make it back into society one day and believe you me chances are they will be ten times as worthless and 100 times a bigger threat to the general public. There is no justice in that. This nightmare has no end in sight. Or maybe we can start to change things. We gotta get rid of many of the types of the guns in our society that are most frequently used in violent crimes. Period.

My Juvenile Delinquency teacher said by time these guys sit, and then go to trial and then if they have to deal with appeals and such, the guy will probably be 18.

I mean unless the kid either JUST turned 17 or they're gonna throw this thing in court as fast as they can, there's a chance he'll turn 18 before sentencing.

And in violent cases such as murder and rape, juveniles almost always get waived to adult status.

I SERIOUSLY doubt he'll get first degree murder/capital murder because the murder itself wasn't premeditated. Shooter's probably looking at life without the possibility of parole. (Sorry for everyone who wanted him to fry)

Does it really matter what type of guns are used to kill a person?????????????

Or as Archie Bunker would say "would it make you feel better if they were pushed out of windows!"

The fact is we have laws against murder don't we, yet we still get scum like this who will thumb their nose at the consequences and murder any way, we will never get rid of crime but we can get rid of the criminal, execute their asses and move on. Perhaps the fact that these guys aren't around in 2 years just might help encourage other's not to murder, and if they do they will be dead in a couple of years! Guns are not the problem, the consequences that are supposed to help deter such acts of violence are.
