Ping! Pong! The guns fired in the school. In 1999 April 20 school shooting broke out. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris were responsible for the deaths of Rachel Scott and other boys and girls. Rachel was the first person to die in the shootings Columbine High School. Rachel was asked if she loved God, she replied and said yes. Dylan Klebold shot her in the head because she said she believed in God. Dylan and Eric planed this attack very well. They put bombs everywhere. They went into the school and shot 12 kids and 1 teacher. Dylan and Eric’s parents should not go to jail for what the kids did.
Others think that they shouldn’t go to jail. One reason is because the parents didn’t talk to the kids. The parents didn’t know what the kids were doing

They made their own decision and killed the people at the shooting in columbine High school. They decided to rob the trucks and blow up bombs. They bought guns from a guns dealer. The parents didn’t go buy guns with the kids, they had no part in the shooting.
Some people think the parents should go to jail for countless reasons. One of the reasons is that they raised them, they taught them almost everything they know. The parents did fail to give them tough love, sometimes tough love is very hard to show to your kids who did something wrong. The last reason is because the parents found a bomb in the house but, didn’t question the kids or report the finding of the bomb. But the parents don’t know everything that is going on in the child’s life. If the kids don’t talk to the parents they wouldn’t know what was going on.
Many people do not think that the parents should go to jail for many reasons. People can’t put someone in jail that didn’t do it or know about it. The parents didn’t go to the school and kill all of those kids and make the bombs. Also they didn’t buy the guns or rob the trucks. All of these actions the kids did by themselves, they made the decision to do what they did. “How many of us have the enough trust, strength and faith to do the impossible” (Rachel

    When the boys from Arkansas went to their school and killed the students and teachers, people were outraged. These are two boys who are 11 and 13. One who “sobbed in court next to his mother” and the other “who learned to sling a shot gun from his dad and grandpa.”…

    One of the reasons that the boys were punished was too to protect society. Personally I think that protection was an important reason to punish the boys, because they were clearly unstable, meaning that it was highly possible they could do a similar crime again. I think that…

    Problem Statement: The response to the shootings in Columbine could have been handled more effectively if there was a solid coordinate effort from law enforcement and emergency units in the area. The plan of action to prevent the incident from playing out further was hastily put together and only cost more lives at danger. All possible lines of communication whether it be from law enforcement officials, emergency personnel or even the media for that matter, were contradicting each other and inaccurate in their details. Information from witnesses, victims and Columbine school officials also proved to be unreliable in this terrorist act. Their accounts of what…

    But this does not mean that they are going to grow up to be a model child. Even though majority of killers come from a broke home or will have a lot of baggage they still committed the crime therefore the parents cannot take the blame. When a child commits a crime the parents are being punished enough in the media and in the streets. Lot of the have to move away from their family home and get new identities this is punishment enough as they didn’t do anything wrong, but try and bring up their child to the best of their…

    That's what the problem is making it seem like every kid is innocent and had a reason for their actions. When I look at it in my eyes a crime is a crime you make your own choices anger should never be that built up. Even if it is you shouldn't kill not one person. Let's just be honest some people even do time for their child actions. From personal experience, I think that the evidence in many cases isn't good enough to argue who did it and why. Furthermore to explain a boy had a gun and his father took the fall for it. Which that child knew exactly what had done and the actions he had committed and not once still to this day the police haven't found…

    Life is too precious to be thrown away and sometimes people make wrong choices at an early age, but that does not mean that it should affect the rest of their life. Sometimes people make wrong choices at a young age that if an adult were to commit, would affect them to several years in prison or even life. When a youth commits a crime, they are considered juveniles and are dealt with the Juvenile Justice Department. The Juvenile Justice Department decides what kind of punishment the Juvenile gets and in some cases, they are waivered into adult court and punished the same way an adult would be punished. It is right to punish a juvenile with sufficient amount of punishment, but to punish them the same way as an adult is wrong after teaching them…

    Not everybody brought up buy the same parents. Some parents don't even look after their child, others become afraid of their kids, and there are those that are actual parents. Let's not forget that there are children out them without any kind at all. We all deserve a chance, an opportunity to change. Punishment indeed is necessary but life without parole is unnecessary since they are still immature. Help is necessary. They need help to change their ways and there mentality. They can't handle it on their own. They are young and so are their minds. At a young age they are easily manipulated by others and by their own thoughts as well. They get to the point where everything is too much for them and just make the wrong…

    I like the ruling is far because children do not always completely understand the consequences of their actions. Sentencing a child without parole is taking their freedom away. They need to pay for their actions but sentencing them like that is wrong because they need help and not time in jail. Putting the children in jail will not help the problem instead they should be place in a special program to help them understand what they did is wrong and how to deal with it. Another aspect to consider is why did they commit the act? Was it because they were abused or someone made them? No matter how horrible the act the child commit, they still are children and need help.In the case of Alabama I feel like the boys did know what they were doing and…

    For the people who said that they should be tried as adults, they believe that juveniles should be held responsible for their actions, that juveniles are not kids that they are young adults, and that by forgiving the juvenile for the crime they did, would just make them think their actions are okay. For the people who think that juveniles should not be tried as adults, they believe that juveniles are physically incapable of thinking like an adult, therefore should not be treated like one. Both sides have valid points in backing up their reasoning’s. I think it is important to look at both sides of the arguments before deciding if you think juveniles should be tried as adults or…

    Another school shooting goes down and is preyed upon by the media for a gripping new story. Jonesboro, Arkansas, West Paducah, Kentucky, and Littleton, Colorado all have one thing in common. All these places are sites where school shootings have occurred. Why do school shootings happen and who is to blame when they do happen?. These are two questions that are still trying to be answered. Some people say that school shootings are due to the excess marketing of violence in movies, television, video games, and music. "'There is a difference between what one has the right to do and what is socially responsible', he says. It appears that they have targeted a mass audience for this material, and then they're 'horrified' when it's discovered what they've done. They're being duplictous-in the end, they're lying" says Andrew Schwartzman, president of public interest law firm the Media Access Group(Holland). I tend to agree with this point but I believe that there is a bigger and more substantial factor when looking at school shootings. I believe that parents have to take most of the blame for school shootings.…

    In my opinion kids are kids. I don’t think they should be go to prison for their whole life. I do think they should pay for what they've done just not so harshly like adults. If they can’t see kids when they haven't committed any crimes why should they see them…
