Re: WOW

Drinking, stealing, drugs, and mild pyromania (ie not arsen, but simply burning things) are somewhat common among teenagers.

You must come from a ****ed up neighborhood if that's common with the teenagers you know.

Don't make me get the statistics on this. It's not uncommon for a teenager to have tried drugs, and just about every teen I know has a facination with fire. Stealing is probably much less common (car theft? probably not), but as far as I can see, it must be far more common than "beating up handicapped kids at school."

Re: WOW

The way you phrased it, you made it seem like almost all teens go around setting fires to things and stealing cars. There's a difference between lighting some twigs on fire, or the powder from firecrackers in your backyard to setting large things on fire.

He was also "getting picked up for drugs," which usually doesn't happen unless you're carrying large amounts. Most of the time dealing. Most teens I know have smoked pot a couple of times, whereas the direction this kid was going I bet he was doing a lot more than that.

Re: WOW

JKPolk is dead on. I like my medicine when I'm sick or have a headache and I like to light fires to keep warm on campouts. I must be nuts too. It's the intent of using these tools that matter.

This is why I don't blindly disapprove of suicide. The blanket statment of "there's always another way" is complete bull****.

I don't know much about law, but I'm pretty sure that is a "life" sentence.

But I could just be making a complete ass out of myself for not knowing what I'm talking about.

Re: WOW

Life sentence was 50 years, I thought.

[Chrissi]

Re: WOW

15 years is definitely not a life sentence.

50 could be. But I thought it was literally, uh, life. Or like, 200 years, or something longer than anyone would ever be able to serve.

Re: WOW

He was probably put under an indeterminate life sentence if somewhere along the lines "15 years" was mentioned.

Also, obligatory "holy ****."
