Kids Should be Tried As adults
The Federal Government should have kids tried as adults. What happens to the teacher's families who are killed in school shootings? I feel that the federal government should change these laws for the following reasons. It filters out bad kids, helps keep them off the streets, and lowers crime rates over all. It will help a lot of kids learn from their mistakes a lot faster due to the more severe punishments. And the most important of all, it'll save lives. It keeps bad kids off the streets. The kids obviously need help, and for the government to make the laws more strict, it will help keep them off the street longer. A good example is a brutal slaying the occurred in March of 1989. a 13-year-old girl let two boyfriends into her home so they could kill her father, who was strangled, stabbed and beaten on the head with a fireplace poker. That's just not acceptable in our society today. The police said that the father could have died from all three of the methods they used. Can you imagine your daughter having two of her boyfriends come over, and then stab you, strangle you, and beat you to death? It's more like torturing to death rather than killing. That doesn't sound too appealing if you
March 24, 1998 - Four girls and a teacher are shot to death and 10 others wounded during a false fire alarm, at Westside Middle School in Jonesboro, Ark. Two boys, ages 11 and 13, are accused. I'm 15-years-old and I've felt this way since I heard about the first school shooting. I don't want to have to fear that if I go to school and happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, I'll lose my life. I don't think any child or teacher should have to go through with this fear. Have you ever wondered if you daughter would go to school one day, and you would never see her alive again to say I love you. To call her your little girl, nothing. She's gone because a 'tough-guy' decided he was better than the rest of us. So in conclusion I would think that we should pass this bill because it helps keep our society safe, lowers crime rate. Help kids learn, and save valuable lives. I trust you will make the right decision after reading this.
