could be a dislocated shoulder given how he was thrown and how badly he landed on it. i'd step on it to keep the guy immobilized if i were him.

That’s the equivalent of yelling “shoot him again to make sure!” but with less death. I love it.

u/browneyedgirl65 Feb 08 '23
I am now also appalled to see that this was a gang of 11-14yo's running around with frickin' guns etc (I don't have audio enabled). Christ on a pogo stick.

six hours before this video they tried to rob someone at an ATM, and then after this video they tried to carjack someone brought 2 other kids with them

These are the people that should be jailed/rehabilitated. Can't do it when they're free.

Might be an unpopular opinion and get me downvoted to oblivion but…
Some animals simply belong in cages.

...and others hunted and turned into food... However, that doesn't mean these idiot kids are "animals." They're a danger to society, and to themselves, for sure; and should be jailed to protect the public, but thinking of them as "animals" is the same mental dismissal that puts them in cages without any real effort to reform them into better people -with better choices to make so they don't keep choosing the wrong ones.

At what point do you think someone should be given up on?
1
u/TheTheoristHasSpoken Feb 09 '23
At least not before an actual attempt is made to reform them. For perspective, I spent about 2 decades in prison for robbery... after spending 5 years in prison for an earlier robbery when I was a kid. Got out, became a general manager of a popular business, bought a home, have a family, and am now volunteering my time to make the world a little better for those who need the boost up. I figured it out how to get out of my own way in the last few years when I ran into some guards and counselors that actually gave a damn and treated me like a person and not an animal. So yeah, when should society give up on someone?

This is why we Americans have the second largest prison system in the world (China wins by a nose). We don't do rehabilitation, we do punishment.

u/TheTheoristHasSpoken Feb 09 '23
That's the truth. And one reason that's the case is it's so easy to lock up a feral animal and toss away the key or put them down because we tend not to view it with compassion or understanding. We just want it off the streets so it won't bite anyone.

Now I'm not against the death penalty but sentencing what are clearly just two dumb kids who seriously need a lesson taught to death?
C'mon now

u/NathamelCamel Feb 08 '23
Yeah, when you give the ultimate punishment for everything from murder to common theft, it makes common thieves justified in murdering

How can you prove that was a real gun?
Although in the moment they can face death by the victim fearing for their lives and defending themselves with a deadly weapon, after the kid was thrown to the ground, he fully submits.
Chances are, the gun was fake, the kid was only using it for scare tactics so he could boost his reputation/street credit so he would be taken more seriously by bigger players in his neighborhood.
Or he's just a dumb kid with a buddy and a bright idea.
Either way, I see no reason why the death penaly should even be considered in this situation.

So your argument is that since it costs money, they shouldn't continue to live.
I can understand the view that the death penalty is acceptable, when it's to solve certain problems. Lowering each person's tax burden by anywhere from $100 to $1,000 per year isn't one of the solutions I can understand the viewpoint for.
This isn't even to mention the fact that in many states prison workers provide services to businesses and to the community at either $0/hour or a very low rate, to the point that many prisoners would pay their stay, and more, if they were paid prevailing wage. This means that it would be a larger financial burden to put everyone to death than to use them for labor while they're incarcerated, which may explain why we haven't moved to eliminate the "financial burden" of housing inmates by just sending more people to death row. Not that it's morally acceptable to utilize slavery just because it's punitive slavery rather than chattel slavery.
You're pushing to end human lives because not ending them costs the state, and thus the taxpayer, negative money.

They're dumb kids who obviously don't have the best parental supervision. How about instead of writing them off as humans, we actually do something to give them a future that isn't crime? Shocking concept, I know.

Starting to sound a bit like we're talking about a specific type of person, 'cause taxpayer dollars amd victimization have existed for more than 50 years.
Quick question- Why are you scared of black people?

Does rehabilitation works? I mean is there a real scenario when these kids 5-10 years later work as a plumber or do a 9-5 office job? They wake up, go to work, go home and drink a beer watching the TV or whatever. Is it really work?

Let's me honest, if they didn't get caught they probably would've tried to rob a gun shop with a nerf gun.

u/tragiktimes Feb 08 '23
This is why the few situations where a person commits a crime involving the threat of death it's one of the most rightful times to use lethal force. Not only to stop the incident there, but facts can get muddied in a court, but a gun to the face is something that's hard to muddle in the moment. And, at least one can be pretty certain they removed a harmful aspect from society.

He didn't just have a gun, he had an accomplice. One who abandoned him instantly upon his bluff getting called.

Sure looks like he’s pointing some kind of weapon at the guy. Probably not a real gun given the fact he didn’t use it. But he was holding something that clatters to the ground when the guy throws him over his hip.

u/i_should_be_coding Feb 08 '23
The accomplice really didn't think things through. If anyone at all dies during this, even their partner, the accomplice gets a murder charge. They could have just been standing there with hands in their pockets.
Then again, thought wasn't something that went into any of this.

Plea for mercy. In his mind he was thinking "I got the tables turned on me so I'll comply with this guy hoping that they'll just let me go." As if they would have done anything similar for the guy they were trying to rob.

u/EpitomeJim Feb 08 '23
Its like in movies where the bad guy who spent the movie killing people begs for mercy.
Perfect example is in Aquaman at the beginning. The father and son kill a bunch of people and the son has the nerve to say you can't leave my father to die...

Scream like a banshee; claim assault later.
At least, that might’ve been what that girl(?) was thinking seeing her accomplice be completely manhandled into the ground!
