Guest Ghettoman Report post Posted January 28, 2004 Can someone tell me how this kid can learn anything at all while being dead? Why shouldn't life works itself out to where he learns quickly, or over time just how wrong what he did was, and ultimately pays the price for it? I just think it's pathetic how some of you act like your in a position to judge on the highest level, as if you've never done anything wrong in your life, and don't give that "oh well I never killed a 6 year old girl" bullshit because that's not the point, the point is you don't draw a line and say 'thats where I'm gonna give up on humanity', it's a completely defeatist attitude and usually contradicts most of what's been said. He's still alive, that means he still has a chance to become something, to do something positive for this world. But rather than suggest the world work itself out the way it does, you guys seem to think losing another life that hadn't truly started yet is the only answer to the same crime, it's hypocritical and thinking like that is gonna make sure the human race doesn't do anything too great for quite some time....Can't win a ball game if your trying to beat yourself.

Vyce 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2004 Who are you to judge him? OH MY GOD. This is the attitude which has done absolutely WONDERS for our society, this blissfully amoral "there is not real right & wrong" world view. PLEASE. Guess what? You CAN judge people, and be JUSTIFIED in doing so. For example: I've never brutally murdered a 6 year old. So I feel pretty safe judging Lionel Tate.

Guest Deebo Report post Posted January 28, 2004 I used to wrestle my 7 year old sister when I was 13 and I never killed or even hurt her. From everything I've read, this kid just beat the girl senseless and didn't care what happened. Why should he get to be out of prison living his life freely while she can't? I'm not saying kill him, but he definitely deserves life in the slammer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted January 28, 2004 Can someone tell me how this kid can learn anything at all while being dead? Funny, that 6-year old girl can't learn anymore. Why shouldn't life works itself out to where he learns quickly, or over time just how wrong what he did was, and ultimately pays the price for it? 1) He has NEVER shown remorse. 2) I could care less if he DOES learn a lesson. He SHOULD have learned a lesson when she was screaming in pain while he was pounding on her. The ONLY person who "ultimately paid the price" was the poor, 6-year old girl who is very much dead. I just think it's pathetic how some of you act like your in a position to judge on the highest level Oh sweet Christ, MORAL RELATIVISM? That is SUCH a good idea there. There are few more dangerous things than this "Who are you to judge?" crap. I'm in a position to judge because I HAVE A FLIPPIN' CONSCIENCE. as if you've never done anything wrong in your life, and don't give that "oh well I never killed a 6 year old girl" bullshit because that's not the point, the point is you don't draw a line and say 'thats where I'm gonna give up on humanity', it's a completely defeatist attitude and usually contradicts most of what's been said. I give up on that thug COMPLETELY. I wash my hands of him. He wants to not be put to death? Fine. Stick him on an island so far from civilization that he can never kill anybody ever again. Allow him to live in absolute solitude for the rest of his existence. He's still alive, that means he still has a chance to become something, to do something positive for this world. Screw that. A little girl is dead because of him. He killed her slowly and sadistically. But rather than suggest the world work itself out the way it does, you guys seem to think losing another life that hadn't truly started yet is the only answer to the same crime, it's hypocritical and thinking like that is gonna make sure the human race doesn't do anything too great for quite some time....Can't win a ball game if your trying to beat yourself.

Guest Ghettoman Report post Posted January 28, 2004 My sister screams for me to stop when I give her the vulcan death grip, I'm not going to assume she's asking me to stop because she's dying. There's too much here you don't know that your assuming and then forming an opinion on it as if it's fact, although I'm sure writing him off as a monster is much easier that way.

NYU 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2004 My sister screams for me to stop when I give her the vulcan death grip, I'm not going to assume she's asking me to stop because she's dying. He punched her, kicked her, stomped her, threw her into a steel banister, heard her bones crack, could hear her blood-curdling screams, could see the blood streaming from her body.....and he kept going. Obviously this is different than bothering your sister with a wrestling move. What he did goes BEYOND just rough-housing. It's murder. Cold-blooded murder without remorse.

But rather than suggest the world work itself out the way it does, you Wait a minute. You want to put a torturer and murderer back on the streets BECAUSE THINGS WORK THEMSELVES OUT? Well, dang, IT IS a wonderful life! Just a question. if this SCUM were to "not work things out on his own" and turn around and beat my six year old niece to death, would I have the right to judge? I don't see this as giving up on humanity. He's proven conclusively that he's subhuman at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2004 If we lived in kkk World, one of my laws would be that any politician that opposes school vouchers would have to send their kids to a D.C. public school. I'm starting to think another law would be if a judge lets some "kid" like this beast out that the "child" has to live in the judge's house until he/she is 18 years old just so the judge and his/her family can personally oversee the "kiddie's" rehabilitation efforts...

CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2004 Can someone tell me how this kid can learn anything at all while being dead? Who cares what he learns? That pathetic son of a bitch shouldn't even live. This wasn't some sort of accident, like a 6 year old playing with their dad's gun and shooting another kid. This was cold blooded murder. MURDER. He is a fucking murderer. Savagely beating a 6 year old and not stopping until she dies isn't an accident. He didn't even show remorse after. He is a danger to society. He doesn't deserve another chance in life. At 13, whether you have mental problems or not, you know killing is wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think that this kid should get a chair while Charles Manson gets a life sentence. Mental ward. 25 years. I'll agree. CIRCLE GETS THE SQUARE! I'm not on the extreme end but...I'm really not sure letting him back out with no plans to get him help is the right way to go. I mean, his mother let him watch a six year old girl and went back to bed when she heard the girl in pain so you expect me to trust her to get him help? Death? Tad extreme I suppose. Padded room for 25 years while we stare at him through a little glass window? Works for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 Justice isn't for vengeance, it is for protection. Tate clearly has no expressed any concern over the girl's death, so there is no reason that he won't do it again. I'm not calling for the kid's head, but if he isn't safe to let out on the streets, what is he doing out? Prisons are designed to protect innocent people, from people like him. If you could assure me that he is rehabilitated, then fine, but you can't, and his psychiatrists seem to say otherwise. I just pray to God that no other innocents have to lose their lives or loved ones because of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
