I'd like to see mandatory LIFE prison sentences for murder convictions. Life meaning LIFE, not 25 years with the chance of early parole. Fuck that. If a 12 or 13 year old rifles a school or commits a gang killing...away you go for life.

I'm pretty liberal but draw the line when it comes to violent crimes, for youths OR adults.
Ron, you cant put a 12 year old away for life....
