I DONT CARE WHETHER HE WAS 17 OR 77. BEASLEY WAS A MURDERER. WHY SHOULD AGE DISCIMINATION PLAY A PART. YOU LIBERALS SAY YOU WANT NO DISCRIMINATION AT ALL. IF THE VICTIMS ARE UNDER 18, SHOULD THE PENALTY THEN BE GREATER THAN FOR SOME ONE OLDER? A MURDER IS A MURDER. WHY DON'T YOU SPEND YOUR TIME HELPING THE TRUE VICTIMS OF MURDER AND THE PARENTS WHO LOST THEIR LOVED ONES FOREVER?THERE ARE SOME DESPICABLE PEOPLE OUT THERE NO MATTER WHAT THEIR AGE. REAL EVIL--DON'T YOU PEOPLE GET IT?IF HE'S KILLING AT 17, WHAT WILL HE BE DOING AT 21? TAKING MORE LIVES!IF A PERSON CAN OPERATE A CAR AT 16(DEADLY WEAPON),SHOULD NOT THE SAME RESPONSIBILITIES BE APPLICABLE FOR MURDER. BE HONEST-IF YOUR LOVED ONE WAS RAPED BY A FOREIGN OBJECT THAT WAS SO VICIOUS IT BROKE THE SPINAL CORD, WAS THEN TORTURED FOR HOURS, AND THEN BRYTALLY BEATEN TO DEATH, WOULD YOU HUG HIM & SAY-"ITS ALLRIGHT: YOURE YOUNG AND DIDN"T KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. A 17 YR OLD IS LIKE A 21 YR OLD A GENERATION AGO. WAIT TILL IT HAPPENS TO YOU
