I looked through the posts, I'm not sure I see anyone expressing much sympathy for them? Seems like a universal response of "lock them up" or "have them murdered by the state", unless I'm misreading. Or are you interpreting anything short of the death penalty as sympathy?I'm personally astounded at the posters here (not just you) for whom sympathy to the murderers seems to take precedence over that for the innocent victim of this absolutely horrific crime.
Absolutely not. They will rot in hell in prison for the rest of their lives where they should be.
I'm just sad that they lost out on watching their first born take a breath.
Absolute waste of existence.
Personally I would finish that sentence with "you've moved way past impulse control and are firmly ensconced in deliberate activity when it's your 3rd hit and run of the day."
Hopefully they will not have any "first Born" or any other born for that matter. The obvious intentional murder by vehicle screams for the death penalty. I guess Life Without Parole will have to do since the death penalty has been halted due to the official moratorium ordered by Governor Gavin Newsom in June 2023.
This happened in Las Vegas, Nevada.
He thinks it will be a slap on the wrist. My guess it will be a smidge moreHere's the punk

I'm more than willing to argue for second chances, but I don't think these two scumbags deserve it.

But on the other hand I still think the far more important issue is 'what produces people who behave like this?' and 'how do we stop creating such people...or at least make it harder for them to do such things?'
Whatever happens to these two individuals it isn't going to really fix anything.
See? Stories like this are making you crazy. Show me a parent that can control a 16yo when they are not around.Easy.. execute the parental units that failed..
Like the ones who let their kids get guns and they shoot up the school and teachers.
Until the kid turns 18, the parental units should be RESPONSIBLE.
It's their peers that raised them, not their absentee parents.Easy.. execute the parental units that failed..

You want to execute their former classmates?

There's a difference between these kids and when parent provide weapons to their kids. You can't blame parents unless they had some active role in the crime or at least knowledge of it.Sure.. but the flip side is.. you ignored one basic fact:
Most 16yo don't go around (trying to or in some cases actually succeeding in) killing people for fun!
Something is seriously wrong when stuff like this or that kid that shot up her teacher or his school happens.
That's where the line has to be drawn.. murder/ attempted murder.
I'm glad in both instances Michigan and Virgina.. they're going after the parents but need much much stronger laws prevent that vs preventing abortions.
On the one hand I don't really disagree. I can't generate much concern for what happens to these two.
Though that's partly because I can't help but mentally lump them in with the larger group of "motorists who get away with killing vulnerable road-users" (a topic I have an existing anger about, because there are so many cases of that happening), so there's a bit of collective-punishment in my own reaction that I'm not sure is fair.

This is a seriously idiotic take. You act as if their parents were raising them saying "remember, it's ok to run over people on bikes if you think it'll be fun". I may be in my 40's but I still remember what it's like to be a teenager. You don't want to listen to your parents, you want to impress your peers, you want to have a thrill. And I didn't grow up with the ability to go viral for being a stupid jackass.Really?
On some point parents failed to teach kids..
"YOU DO NOT GO AROUND KILLING PEOPLE"
Isn't that life lesson number 1 before watching R rated movies anymore or something?
