FINALLY SOMEONE who is NOT making this a fight, and who is making logical sense from both sides of the spectrum. I thank you VERY much dini79 for trying to put a balance to this all.
Your help will not go unnoticed.

adriankoqueen are you really serious? You should really look into getting some tutoring. Apparently you can't read, I never said I knew Andrew personally, and if I did that would be a whole other can of worms.

To assume that I'm a "gang banger" is highly comical and you've really made my night by thinking you know anything in the least about who I am. Sorry to burst your little bubble but I am in no way a "gang banger" nor have I been one. I haven't said anything in previous posts for you to have logically concluded that, but it must have been merely out of your lack of reading skills or possibly your own creative mind...

adriankoqueen: You wouldn't have a clue would you? Go back to the hole you crawled from.

Well thank you for clearing that up, I retract my statement then. Since we have many bible thumpers around whining on here, I was too quick to assume my apoligies.

You don't NEED "faith" to be a good person.

I guess I'll try to keep things in order...so to speak.

Per last post, I should be more specific with what I had said, I have strong ties with a member of Andrew's family. Save your retaliations I'm not in any way married, engaged or any other sexual way tied to this family member thank you very little.

Again I digress...

Gangs = pathetic outcries of misguided youth.
These two boys should be punished accordingly. Placing blame on everyone but themselves and their decisions is just a way to weasel out of punishment for the giant mistakes they have made.

Blaming teachers for their SMALL part in this? Well it really all depends on what teacher we're blaming. They say "those who cannot do teach". Well they forgot the handful of teachers who somehow escaped with the ability to "teach" (I use that term loosely) from a flippin' cracker jack box.

Now before you all get huffy with me, I know for a fact that their are "diamonds in the rough" for teachers out there and I can see that Whythink is most obviously one of them and I thank you for actually genuinely caring about the kids/pre-teens/teens these days. It is not easy to find teachers like you.

As for that JOKE of a teacher who calls one of these teens "trash" well I'm certainly sure you don't even know the half of what they've gone through and I'm sure a "teacher" like you doesn't even take the time to care. Hence the cracker jack box comment.

I am not religious so as far as the "God" comments I have nothing to say other than, believe what you will, about "God's presence" in their lives but as most decent religious people say, "Only God can judge me." So I'll leave it at that.

Then the more recent comment that makes me want to spit on half of the people in Janesville, Momof5 said:"If you stay out of their "neighborhoods", out of their gangs and away from their friends/family the chances of your house becoming "swiss cheese" is about as high as an airplane falling out of the sky and landing on your house." Now for the most part I've agreed with your comments on other articles but this is really disgusting. You DIDN'T need to address you've had nothing to do with gangs because if you are stupid enough to assume that would happen then we all already know you know nothing of it.
The reason I made the comment about "Janesvillites" is because sadly most of you all think this way and have no idea how to act maturely instead of pretending you're all still in your cliques from high school. Grow up!

All in all their has to be some give and take from all parties here, what these two did was wrong but I'm sure there were missing pieces in their life that led them to believe this was a good choice. Although they cannot solely blame everyone else. No one said they had to do this, and even if the other gang members did, there are always ways out. These kids deserve punishment but also a chance to change their lives for the better.

Oh man. I never wanted to get into these discussions but with very strong ties to family of Andrew, I feel I must.

But so many points to make, where to start?
