Respect is earned not given. The victims and their kindred don't matter, their ultimate loss and pain is ignored if only they would "get over it" and move on in life. JLWOP is a critical element of deterrence and until those 'do gooders' have experienced loss as victims themselves they will never really know the difference between the two issues, only think they do. ...Kanwi One of the weaknesses of Democracies and their Justice systems is that they are generally too focused on the sentencing impact of offenders prefering appeasement and forgiveness over deterrence and personal consequences.

Only a deeply disturbed person would shed so much blood so uncaringly. My family's prayers are with the family of Blair Holt for strength and actions to finally help end compassion for sociopaths and expedite their accounting for their monstrous acts. The ACLU and all like them have done far too much harm to American families. It's time for them to stop abetting murder in any form.

We are now faced with our choices. How much longer are we to be made to pay for there choices. The cost of keeping those convicted is rising. What do I have to fear 3 hots,a cot. As well as nothing to do but wait for death. I would rather free them and send a message,"These actions will NOT be tolerated".

Indeed, if guns are outlawed law-abiding citizens will be even more at the mercy of these killers, juvenile or otherwise. All these JLWOP Cases are further evidence that guns are never the problem.

Blair Holt's family, the survivors and their families, will be touched by this for the remainder of their lives. Life without parole is too lenient a punishment for this crime. If capital punishment is to abhorent for some to consider, then LWOP will still act as a deterrent -- this animal will kill no more of us.

It is concerning that much of the youth today, haven't leaned nor display, the value or respect of human life. They know a gun and their choice to pull the trigger, can and will injure or take someone else's life away. It would be uncivil to consider a lesser sentence for the acts of a personal choice to kill. Age shouldn't matter when it comes to physically violating the lives of society.
