Several years ago, my oldest son was friends with a guy who's parents had money.  The kid killed his X girlfriends boyfriend.  From what I read at the time, the guy who was dead didn't have any defensive wounds on him.  That kid seemed to feel he was entitled to not having to serve any time.  What happened was all over the news here in Dallas.  He also was put on probation.   My oldest son was only 17 at the time.   In cases like this, the parents should also have to suffer the consequences of what he did.  I don't mean throwing them in prison.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
