so we're supposed to feel sympathy for them?
them not understanding the consequences didnt make those consequences not happen
a woman is in critical condition after being possibly murdered infront of her 10 year old son.
im so sick of hearing the "intent" or "i didnt know" or "i didnt understand" defense...
that didnt stop the cart from damn near killing that woman, right?
right.
its not like this is a common occurance for 12 year olds and they were picked out of a huge population of kids breaking the law unjustly
right?
right.

To all people complaining about me saying Death Penalty.
How about a public lashing from the husband and son of the injured wife/mother??

I don't know if you mean physical lashing like with a belt or verbal lashing, but either isn't enough.
Death penalty is OD, but the ideal situation is that these kids learn that their actions are completely unacceptable. Lock them up, throw them away for a couple years. Physically beating the kids isn't going to do anything, it's just going to make them even more messed up in the head.
These kids aren't even normal people. They're selfish, brainless monsters who are detrimental to those around them. I can't even believe people are saying they should have a break cause they're children.

did they allow that mother's brain to fully develop when they dropped a shopping cart on her head?

Exactly. My brain isn't fully developed yet. I'm just going to log off right now and rob a couple banks, shoot some women and throw hot oil on strangers, because "whatever happens, happens".
Tell me you won't be calling for my death if I did that.

This story is HORRIBLE I hope these kids get some serious time. I understand that their only 12 and may not have meant to hurt anyone but they still need to suffer the consequences.

But throwing a shopping cart over a roof isn't? What if I just throw a pot of hot oil over the roof of my mall? Or maybe I started a BB gun fight in my town center, even though I wasn't intending to hit any passerby?
And your second part proves my point. When can we draw the line between being old enough to be accountable for your actions? What if I was 16, or 15, or 14, and so on? The people in here saying the kids didn't know any better, well then at what age will they know better and can be punished accordingly for their actions?

Are you kidding me? These are 12 year old kids, not even teenagers yet. They did not intend to hurt the woman with the shopping cart. Was it stupid and idiotic to throw the cart? Of course. But to call for the death penalty is ridiculous. We all did stupid !!@% when we were 12. Most of us were fortunate enough not to mortally wound someone though. These kids deserve to be punished, not killed.

Premeditated means they had the intent of hurting someone when doing the act.
Your example: You want to hurt people by shooting a woman.
The 12 year olds: Not necessarily premeditated.

You're digging too deep into my example. The point was that I shouldn't be able to get away with something just because I'm young. I could make up some BS excuse that "I wasn't aiming for the woman, the recoil caused the gun to shoot left" or some dumb crap like that. But that's beside the point.

When I was a kid I did all types of mischief so when I hear about someone throwing a shopping cart off a roof the question that comes to mind is why?
Unless you are trying to hurt someone why would you do it?
