&lt;p&gt;no reasons of substance have been brought forward, so there must be none.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;one flint television station now has cancelled airing the interview conducted with the wife of the slain police officer, after she &amp;quot;at first said&amp;quot; that she didn&amp;#39;t want to have the juvenile that attacked her police officer husband punished, &amp;quot;then later, in the interview&amp;quot; changed her mind and called for his head on a platter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;how embarassed must the left be if they won&amp;#39;t allow the interview to air?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;i can think of no reasons that are not swimming in emotion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i can imagine someone having a son accused and convicted of murder of a police officer, and having to look him in the face as he is released from prison just a short few years later. this comes under the heading of BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU WISH FOR.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;now, turn that around. how can that same parent look the family of the slain&amp;nbsp;police officer in the face after their son was released only a few short years later. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;even worse, how can that parent look the family of the NEXT police officer that their son kills in the face? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;who&amp;#39;s fault would THAT be? each and every person yelling for leniency for that &amp;quot;poor kid&amp;quot; who heinously killed the police officer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;imagine how slow the response time would be if that parent ever needs to make an emergency&amp;nbsp;9-1-1 call.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I wonder what chance this bill has of passing now that a 16 year old is charged with killing an Oak Park policeman?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freep.com/article/20090102/NEWS03/90102011/0/NEWS07"&gt;http://www.freep.com/article/20090102/NEWS03/90102011/0/NEWS07&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my opinion, it would be sick and wrong if this punk got a chance at parole after only 10 years. He deserves prison until death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>2007 House Bill 4405 (Ban life without parole sentence for juveniles )</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/231757.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2001 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:231757</guid><dc:creator>admin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/231757.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=18&amp;PostID=231757</wfw:commentRss><description>Introduced in the House on March 6, 2007&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.michiganvotes.org/2007-HB-4405'&gt;Click here to view bill details.&lt;/a&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
