spoiler alert they die at the end

They don’t dress or care for their skin the way one would expect of someone with that amount of money. They are 29 but look far older.

Quakers were integral to the formation of the criminal justice system in this country and very much interested in rehabilitation. They famously apologized for thinking solitary confinement would aid rather than exacerbate rehabilitative efforts.

The United States is the only country in the world that condemns juveniles to spend their lives behind bars for crimes they committed before they turned 18. The. Only. One. If we can pretend a thirteen year old is an adult in the criminal justice system, why don’t we pretend they’re an adult so they can vote?

I feel like the writer Anne Perry is also a good example of someone who killed and then never did it again (aside from in her books). They also made the movie Heavenly Creatures with Kate Winslet about the murder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Perr…

Ironically enough, ‘monsters’ only exist in children’s stories.

Before you open your mouth you might want to know a thing or two about what you’re talking about.

The fact that you refer to them as monsters means that you have made this an emotional issue, not a rational one. We know a fair bit about brain development, though you don’t seem to be aware of this, and your proclamation…

No use arguing with a troll, but I’m a glutton for punishment, so I’ll say that if you are willing to throw away two more lives for the sake of vengeance instead of getting them psychological help (which is no walk in the park) then you are the monster.

“you can’t rehabilitate a monster”

I’d vote for a juvenile mental institution where they could get intensive therapy and finish high school. It sounds like one of the girls may be able to recover given the right treatment. At least that is what the experts testified. The other has very serious early onset schizophrenia, which tends to be hard to treat,…

You seem to forget that 13 year old children do not have a developed prefrontal cortex, which helps to deal with aggression, planning, and abstract judgement, among other things. This is just one reason why this is complete bullshit.

This is not okay. It illustrates just how little our judicial system gives a fuck about rehabilitation when they are willing to do this to fucking children.

FTFY

In my city we have this hole in the ground that all the tourists feel like they have to go to because otherwise it’s unmurican but srsly we have so many better things to do — like ANYTHING — and that picture you want to take of your snotnosed brat posing in front of a wall of names does not mean he suddenly…

I kissed the stone when I was 15. Three days later I had a raging septic throat condition. I was on a group trip, so the teachers had to take me separably to a doctor’s house (it was Sunday), and get me major antibiotics & pain killers. I blame my illness on the layers of spit and germs on the Blarney stone.

I would totally go to Trumps next wedding. Champagne and food, The Don having a bit too much to drink and saying something even more racist and obnoxious than the norm. The bride running off crying, asking herself is the money really worth it?

Can we list the entire fucking City of New York? Holy shit, a million songs, a million patriotic poems, everyone across the globe sucking its cock, and when I finally go see for the first time at age 26...

When I lived in L.A. and friends came to visit and asked to go to Hollywood, I always said, “look, I’ll drive us down Hollywood Boulevard first and you look around and if you really want to get out and walk afterward, we can do it.” They rarely did.

MOTHERFUCKERS

The Blarney Stone is disgusting and awful. The grounds are similar to any other castle grounds in Ireland. Also a total waste of time? Dublin “Castle.” I mean, Kilronan is crowded as hell when a ferry arrives but I would recommend every going to Ireland hikes to Dun Aengus.
