Although the murder was on accident, Lional was tried as an adult and sentenced to life in prison. This sentencing was due to an effort to decrease crime caused by juveniles such as shootings in schools as well as other violent crimes but many argue that it was too extreme due to the fact it was not on purpose and now both of the children will now never be able to truly grow up and learn. Many people also think this should not be compared to a boy named Charles Williams who shot up a school in California and got the same sentence.]]> 2017-09-26 17:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/298542/j655qkuov2yx/wish/191385488 298542 https://padlet.com/298542/j655qkuov2yx/wish/191386155 The author says that an adult prison sentence will likely not help Tate and that his case is a special one. Even though he committed a violent crime, Tate is still a kid. Jeffery Fegan, a professor at Columbia University, claims that juveniles who commit violent crimes weigh out the cost and consequences before committing the crime. Although, the juvenile justice department claimed that Fegan's statement was simply untrue. Tate is a kid and most likely was lead to the school shooting by physiological and bullying factors. Therefore, according to other statistics mentioned in the pdf proving that juveniles tried and convicted as adults, juveniles would benefit more from juvenile convictions for violent crimes. Bryan Robinson, the author of this article, has a journalist style- his points are spread out with into different paragraphs and he writes about the interviews he conducted with the people related to Tate's case. Rarely does Robinson include his own opinion; he sticks to the facts. The author is credible as he takes interviews and does not stand for an agenda through his writing. He interviews other people and looks at the story from different points of views. ]]> 2017-09-26 17:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/298542/j655qkuov2yx/wish/191386155 298542 https://padlet.com/298542/j655qkuov2yx/wish/191386792 The goodness of children is rare and fleeting as of the 1980s, so the article says. This being said;although, it is fleeting, the article says that the reason for is the juvenile justice system. In my belief, the allowing of juveniles to be able to be transferred to the adult system, brings the goodness out of the children. The goodness of children is fleeting due to the process of the juveniles.Due to trends of child crimes since the 1980s, it is evident that goodness is rare and fleeting as demonstrated as children get even more into criminal activity. Children are typically seen as positive entities. Children often see the best in things, so we want to see the best in them. However, sometimes we forget that children are capable of of committing crimes. This shows that good is disappearing. ]]> 2017-09-26 17:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/298542/j655qkuov2yx/wish/191386792 314351 https://padlet.com/298542/j655qkuov2yx/wish/191388238 In the movie Unbreakable (2000) there is a scene where a boy points a gun at his father due to his belief that his father was indestructable. Even though he turned out to be indestructable it shows that children do not think of the consequences of the actions that they may take. It relates back to this article because Lional Tate didn't think before he killed Tiffany.]]> 2017-09-26 17:46:02 UTC https://padlet.com/298542/j655qkuov2yx/wish/191388238
