Why do you have such strong feelings against a kid who had such a screwed up life that he went and killed some people? And where is the outrage that we as a society let things get so bad? While he does deserve to get punished and strongly, life in prison just seems wasteful to me. He'll never get anywhere close to being able to make up for what he did, but keeping him behind bars his whole life will keep him even further from that. Of course as messed up as our prison system is hard telling if this young man will be able to come to the right conclusions about his life and make any changes for the better.
