Regarding sentencing of underage violent offenders

Yes, it is too young. Some sort of incarcerated,experimental, transition state would be better. We can not be guided only by the horrible crime, but by the needs of society. These kids -- if saved -- could serve society. After age 21 if not dramatically changed in demeanor and behavior, then throw the book at them.

If we shovel them into a shallow grave, then as a society our fate will follow.
