So someone commits a felony (any crime where they can go to jail for exactly one year or more) and someone else dies during the felony they get charged with murder?

Now, I'd love if thieves got their hand chopped off for stealing. But for getting charged with murder when you didn't kill (or even have any intent to kill) anyone just seems dumb.
To me it's no different than a guy who gets charged for the death of his passengers while driving intoxicated. Or what about the classic case of a robber suing the homeowner for getting hurt trying to break in? Or better yet, a homeowner getting charged with murder for shooting an intruder :screwy: Criminals have too much protection in this modern-day society. It's about time for some payback.

He's actually lucky he killed him and not just wounded or maim him or the homeowner would of gotten sued. I've heard of those stories before.
Happens all the time, which is why I say, criminals are protected more than law-abiding citizens. That is why if you shoot, MAKE SURE you shoot to kill. Even police officers will tell you this. If you shoot and wound, there's a good chance you'll be sued blind, or even worse, spend some time in jail.

Actually if you read the article the kid didn't kill anyone. They robbed a house and the homeowner shot and killed one of the robbers. Under some law the three surviving would-be robbers are each charged with murder.

Now, I'm definitely not condoning robbery but think about it. You go to rob a house and steal some stuff. Homeowner shoots and kills your friend and then you get charged with murder?
yep thats our F'd up justice system. Its retarded to say the least. No justification for it at all. But we cant do anything about it.

And dont even get me started on the stupidness of charging kids as adults

So you think a 13-17yr old who murders in cold blood shouldn't be tried as an adult? I wish they all were tried as adults. Protecting them because their "under age" is purely stupid. When I was 13 I damn well knew right from wrong, and I especially knew you don't go out and murder people. :screwy:
 
yeah a 13yo should not be charged as an adult. thats why there is an age where u are considered an adult. if 13 ur gonna be charged as an adult, then let them smoke, drink or serve in the army at 13.

I don't understand that logic. Comparing murdering another human being to serving in the army and smoking is even more silly. And I'm not talking about accidental deaths of a sibling involving a parent's firearm. I'm talking about cold-blooded murder; school shootings, drive-bys, armed robbery, etc. These are NOT behaviours of a typical 13yr old. This is a stone-cold killer in the making.

I have some friends that work at a juvenile hall. They have a 'high-risk' area where all they keep are the under-aged murderers. They all tell me, these are the most dangerous ones. Even more dangerous than adults. They have nothing to lose, and they know they are protected by the law, so they have no restrictions about the way they act. They've killed before, and they wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Any one of these kids wouldn't think twice about putting a bullet in your head, or any other innocent person. And they wouldn't lose any sleep over it either. That's the type of sweet innocent kids you want to be protecting?

You need a reality check man.

Not only do you have to make sure you shoot to kill, you also must ensure that the robber is facing you. If you shoot and escaping robber, even in your own home, you could be charged with manslaughter.

I agree with this. I too knew well off that I should not murder someone. I think Dave Chapelle says it best in the arguement of "how young is 15 really". During this stretch of his stand up comedy, he presents two cases of 15 year olds that were kidnapped, one was a few blocks from the home, left unattended in an unlocked house not even tied up and it took months for her to be found, where as another case where a 15 year girl was kidnapped, roped, chewed through the ropes and was on the news that night explaining how she got away. This was to defend his case that the girl who "got pee'd on" by R Kelly had the intelligence to make the decision wether to be "pee'd" on or not. Same goes with murder. When your 15 or so... while your not fully developed or can comprehend fully what an adult can (which even after 18 I still think their are many of those that can't), you still have the brain power to make a comprehensive decision. If you were so young that your brain was not developed enough to make such a decision maybe then yes you shouldnt be tried as an adult, for example a 6 or 8 year old that "accidentally" fires a gun and kills someone, which is simple to understand seeing as we give our kids fake guns from early ages and allow them to be fired at eachother. But I'm 100% sure that a 13 > year old can make a comprehensive decision wether its good to murder or not.
 
minors get the help they need. adults get a cell and/or the death penalty.

so j, ur saying when a 13yo commits murder, instead of getting the psyc help they need, they should get the needle?

ps, murder isnt the only crime they charge them as an adult with. Many crimes can and prob will get u charged as an adult.
