I say good riddance. What does your future hold I wonder? Judge not lest ye be judged, qazwsxokmijn. |

| 728218 | 2008-12-12 21:17:00 | Maybe if the parents of these Taggers were made to restore the damage physically and financially then the problem would cease. I can imagine my father supplying the paint and painting someone’s house because I’d Tagged it. :D And if he’d failed to do that, then he would have been arrested and thrown in jail. Sure, that MIGHT fix one problem, but think what other problems that would create. Home child abuse? Abandonment? Parents committing crime to pay for it? It might fix the fence, but it also might destroy the family. (Tho chances are if a child is tagging then the family already has a lot of problems) |

| 728219 | 2008-12-12 21:23:00 | I can imagine my father supplying the paint and painting someone’s house because I’d Tagged it. :D . My father would have marched me over to paint the fence and apologise to the fence owner. Then I would have been made to work off the cost of the paint. I would do the same to my son.Doing it a second time would have resulted in a repeat of the punishment plus a thrashing. I'd be deeply ashamed if my son was running around the neighbourhood wrecking stuff. The trouble is there is no discipline in the schools or homes thanks to all the bleeding heart liberals. :groan: I was on the grounds of a high school last week, I was pretty surprised by the behaviour of the kids, and of the teachers, Token (wasted) effort at best for a bunch of foul mouthed ****heads. They all needed to be lined up and thrashed with a cane. |

| 728220 | 2008-12-12 21:24:00 | I agree with Metla on this one. The defendant's lawyer managed to introduce an element of reasonable doubt into the mind of the jury - but in my mind, you don't take a knife to a fight without the knowledge that it is a deadly weapon and could kill if used. All of the elements are there for a verdict of murder. It wouldn't matter if the victim were Robert Mugabe as it is not the victim being tried. A verdict of manslaughter gives huge discretion to a sentencing judge - it will be interesting to see what is handed down. |

I think the world would be a better place if certain individuals were removed from it,the problem is,who get to decide who the people are. We can tell from arguments here,that it wouldn't be easy,or just. |

It might fix the fence, but it also might destroy the family. (Tho chances are if a child is tagging then the family already has a lot of problems) For this sort of behaviour to occur the family is more than likely totally dysfunctional anyway. Isn’t it funny how when we had some discipline, there were no infants molested or killed. (I suppose that was because we didn’t have clothes dryers) :rolleyes: I’m fairly sure that I would have done time if the local policeman, my father and my teachers were compelled to operate under today’s constraints. Than God they weren’t. |

When was this golden age to which you refer . . . ? (I suppose that was because we didn’t have clothes dryers) :rolleyes: That's neither funny nor appropriate . |

| 728224 | 2008-12-12 21:45:00 | As sad as it is with the family, It's their own fault for bringing their kids up and allowing them to do things like this. It's hard to say, but the less we have of these kids on the streets, the better, and this is a cold reminder on the extreme end of what can happen when things go wrong. The man's not guilty of anything. If they hadn't gone to grafitti the house in the first place this mess would never have started, and that's the core issue. |
