i see that no one can provide any NON-EMOTIONAL REASONS to ban giving life sentences to juveniles.

no reasons of substance have been brought forward, so there must be none.

next....

i love to hear the liberals parade out the ONE victim that holds his beloved's attacker no ill will, and (occasionally) doesn't even want them to be punished. i'm sure that's what the liberals thought in this case.

one flint television station now has cancelled airing the interview conducted with the wife of the slain police officer, after she "at first said" that she didn't want to have the juvenile that attacked her police officer husband punished, "then later, in the interview" changed her mind and called for his head on a platter.

how embarassed must the left be if they won't allow the interview to air?

there is no reason to ban this form of punishment, except to say that juveniles murdering isn't something that they should be punished for.
