Nope. They're adults. They can get it.

I don't mean to sound insensitive (believe me, the animals who did this must pay, and my heart goes out to the family), but I wonder if Bill Gates is firing up the litgation army to sue whichever media outlet coined the phrase "Xbox Killings", associating his product with this brutality.

i was thinking the same thing, and i feel he would have a case. If they stole a commodore 64, i doubt the headline would be commodore 64 killing, it was sneaky journalism

Kuz, 18 is old enough for the Death Penalty in the States...
Side comment: My personal opinion is that if you're old enough to kill, you're old enough for leathal injection.

dubs is right here again. and statistics prove it. funny how the correlation between war and violent crime is never mentioned.

well...I've noticed....more since I became a dad (I have two step daughters)....that the temper on kids has gotten near extreme. This has been going on for years and has gotten worse. I'm sure it's elevated above normal levels (normal being relative) since we've been in Iraq but I mean some of this stuff is out of hand.

i think information overload is another factor as well (im talking about younger kids). kids can learn every vice the world has every known in the span of 1 day on the internet. that is phuckin scary. we had too rely on years of interactions with other kids in elementary school who heard so and so from their older brother or a cousin's friend etc...basically our information was distributed to us in eventual forms. with the internet that same information is available the instant you seek it. i dont think our brains are mature enough to deal with that.

they're only 18. Too young to face the death penalty i think. But then the US kills 16 year old children by way of injection. That is FUCKED UP!

Wha?!? No the U.S. doesn't. A 16 year old is a Juvi and wan't be put to death like an adult can. However, if a person is underage when they do the crime and later caught after they turn 18 they CAN be put to death because of being an adult. I'd like to see something that states the U.S. puts to death by leathal injection 16 year olds. hahaha. That's funny.

I gotcha, aliend. you're right. kids today are exposed to too much stimuli and information.

They can try minors as adults in the US, they do it all the time. They hold hearings to evaluate those circumstances. For instance Lee Boyd Malvo got out off because his defense claimed he was brainwashed. If he acted alone, he would have gotten the death penalty.

"In Stanford v Kentucky, the Supreme Court found that the execution of prisoners for crimes committed when they were 16 or 17 years old was also acceptable under the Eighth Amendment.(4) The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, prohibiting the imposition of the death penalty for the crimes of under-18-year-olds, had entered into force more than a decade earlier. Five months after the Stanford decision, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, with the same prohibition, was opened for signature.(5) Within 10 years, this treaty would be ratified by 191 countries, all but the United States and Somalia. In May 2002, the latter announced its intention to ratify."
