OMG I didn't know that at all. We should totally let everyone go, the murderer's the pedo's the people that grift our parents and loved ones.
Its just costing us too much money.
Sometimes my friend its not about the money.
Besides, if we put them to work we could off set some of the costs. Get them to crush gravel 8 hours a day for asphalt manufacturers. Or put them to work on northern road crews, or cleaning camp toilets 10 hours a day.
The person that did this killing is a worthless human being with what sounds like a long rap sheet, so no I don't care about the money, lock him in a deep dark hole and throw away the key and costs be damned.
There was no good reason for this murder, except that the kid was a thug with a gun looking for trouble.
Its tragic that a kid that worked so hard to get out of Detroit to move to a better life was snuffed out by a worthless piece of garbage.
I'm firm in my belief that if you pull out a gun and kill someone for no good reason, that's it for you. If you're a drug dealer defending your turf, or a gangster defending your honor or establishing how tough you are, or your angry because people are mean to you and you go out and shoot someone or you catch your wife in bed with someone else and shoot them, you don't deserve anything but a cold wet cell with 4 walls closing in on you, some back breaking labor to fill your days and hopefully a long life to contemplate that you are a dirt bag.
The only concession is that I believe in choices, leave a nice noose in your cell for you in case you want to escape your punishment.
