If someone murders, maims, rapes, tortures, kidnaps, or perpetuates any number of heinous crimes against my law-abiding, American, family members - rehabilitation can take place in prison. Do you consider recently-turned 17 year-olds serving in our military (with parental consent) as juveniles with yet undeveloped judgement? Maybe the definition of juvenile as pertains to heinous crimes such as rape and murder should be changed? I did not think so. That would not be politically correct. Dear Richard Warren Oregon,

While I understand your point of view; I hope you will be as cavalier if (God Forbid) some crime no matter how heinous is committed against one of your family members or friends.

If someone murders, maims, rapes, tortures, kidnaps, or perpetuates any number of heinous crimes against my law-abiding, American, family members – rehabilitation can take place in prison.

Do you consider recently-turned 17 year-olds serving in our military (with parental consent) as juveniles with yet undeveloped judgement?

Maybe the definition of juvenile as pertains to heinous crimes such as rape and murder should be changed?

I did not think so. That would not be politically correct.

When these circumstances do not apply, then the accused should be in adult court, whatever the age. The crime itself, no mater how heinous, should not be a factor. Such an approach goes against all the reasons why there are juvenile court systems.

The roots of politcal correctness lie in the Frankfurt School once housed in Columbia University. We can thank them for the lack of racial dialog because if attempted the participants are immediately labled "racist" if a liberal ideology is challenged. For me, this more than anything else has crippled our ability to serioulsy study our societal problems. Well said LLoyd.

All at tax payer expense. Young or old, a mad dog is a mad dog and needs to be destroyed.

Ask yourself one question. If the majorty of these "defendants" were "white", would this be an issue? NO! This is an issue only because of the race of the criminals. We are all so afraid to be called a "racist" if we acknowledge that liberal judges and court systems, do not despence justice according to the law, if the criminals are of color (whether or not gang related), becaus of conceived "injustices" committed against these criminals in the past, due to the color of their skin. Liberals continue to scream prisons are full of "minorities", but they will not mention that the reason is because "minorities" are precisely the ones that committ the majorty of the crimes. We keep hearing from the left that we must have a "dialog on race" in this country. But these same people will not accept the facts that juvenile crimes are not being punished to the full extent of the law. Then, when these juveniles are released onto the streets after a slap on the hand, they then return to crime because many of them are just inherently anti social, brought by welfare and liberalism.
