Should People Take Justice Into Their Own Hands (partocular case)

@Armad:

They had largely undeveloped minds and their ability to rationally think about the consequences of their actions was not yet developed. 

Yawn... Nonsense.

Kids who commit crimes should be tried as juveniles

No. They should be tried as adults. Juvenile crimes is a joke.

People who grow up in middle-class communities surrounded by suburbs with plenty of jobs and opportunities don't don't commit crimes unless they're genetically predisposed to attack other individuals.

Genetically predesposed? Just another theory that's yet to be proven.And if it's true, than rehabilitation is pointless.

Yeah the system failed this one time, but that doesn't mean we need to go out and kill them ourselves, we fix any loopholes and don't let the mistake happen again.  We don't go out and commit vindictive acts of vengence because that's just as bad for society as this murder.

Fixing the "loopholes" would imply getting rid of the juvenile crime system, which really is a loophole that shouldn't exist, but I doubt you agree with it. And they should still be punished for what they've done, not get away with it. Saying that vidinctive acts acts are just as bad for society as this murder is like saying that attacking a foreign country that attacks you is bad.

Also I would be fine with imprisonment and rehabilitation.  But solitary confinment has been proven to be counterproductive and make people more likely to commit violent acts of impulse.  It makes people more paranoid and less trusting of others.

Rehabilitation should be used in some cases where there's still hope, and where the criminal deservse a second chance (like forexample some poor fellow who resorts to stealing). In this case they shouldn't recieve any rehabilitation. They don't deserve it, and it would be pointless anyway. I'm sayin that they should recieve solitary confinement for life, so that fact that it will make them paranoid and less trusting of others is pointless, as they'll never get a chance to talk to others angain (in my proposed punishment).
