It isn't necessarily a binary choice.

Under psych eval, medical science may decide they will *never* be ready to rejoin society. But we lose the opportunity to learn *and* the opportunity to cure if we just ship them off to prison and forget about them.

"why do we even have a separate system for trying children and adults if every time a child does something horrific, we're just going to try them as an adult anyway."

This. The whole point of having a separate system is precisely due to these kinds of extreme acts of violence.

I could almost, *almost* see trying, say,…

I honestly don't know where I stand. I hate the idea of trying a 12-year-old as an adult, but I'm also incredibly disturbed at just how premeditated the crime was. Frankly, I wish there was some middle ground, a way to try juveniles for incredibly heinous crimes that involved a longer sentencing.

I agree that this is horrific, but would you really not have them tried as adults? They almost killed someone, and not even as like a heat-of-the-moment fight, but as straight up, pre-meditated murder. I wouldn't want this treated any differently than if they'd been 18.

You can't legislate emotions, but we can all find ways to contribute to a more productive, happy, healthy society. We can fund research that looks at some of the social and economic issues that have created such a sociopathic society. We can look into improving our education system, and find ways of community building…

They sell those at Walmart and Amazon as well - its where I get mine. Kimchi flavor is by far the best and those noodles are excellent, add a fried egg and you have a delicious protein packed meal.

I was getting that plus some of Adrian's early works for Joan Crawford. This one is from Dancing Lady in 1933, released just a few months before they started enforcing the Hays Code.

Those are tangy and tasty - but definitely not spicy. Interestingly, Nongshim Kimchi Noodle Bowls taste exactly like Flaming Hot Cheetos only its actually mildly spicy.

I guess she's really sticking it to Instragram.

A dog would have run around for 3 hours with its head stuck in the fish bowl.

No, Subway would ruin whatever progress they made by creating some bizarre custom mayo or sauce that they would drench the entire thing is so that all you taste is it.

Subway would find a way to fuck it up SO much worse than Taco Bell, probably by slathering it in repurposed peat moss labeled as "avocado" and toasting it in a static oven that turned the bread into a crumbly disaster.

It's easy for people to say, "You're so lucky!" when they read stories about real love like this but I feel compelled to be that other voice in here that says no, you are not lucky, you are an incredible, beautiful woman with a powerful and honest voice who got the love she deserves. You earned that love by being…

Awwwwww... warm fuzzies!

Cute couple!

Hi-I'm a ciswoman who also took a chance on a man on New Year's Day after lots and lots of disappointing men before. He was the best chance I've ever taken. It seems like once you find the person you love, everyone before you melts away. I am so happy you found the love who accepts you as you are. That's all any of us…

This is, without a doubt, one of the most romantic stories I have ever read.

I have to agree. If Sandy Hook wasn't enough to create change, I think nothing will. Not Isla Vista, not ten more like it.

why the f—- can't the Democrats and Republicans in Congress do the same?

Such a brave and human thing to do to reach out to another in this way and under these circumstances. Such a brave and human thing to do to accept that grace in this way and under these circumstances.
