I gotta admit I must have forgotten this FUBAR, but when reminded of it I vaguely recalled jt.

One of the two girls who committed this fucktarded act of gigaton class idiocy just got kinda sorta released last year.

The second is seeking release.

Basically they were 12 and claimed they wanted to ''appease the slenderman''. ::) Both were found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. One was ruled 'insane' and the other was diagnosed 'schitzophrenic'. I don't see the difference.
They were both sentenced to mental hospitals, for 25 and 40 years. I don't get that at all. I mean I believed if you were found insane you went away until your were called 'cured' or died.
The cases started a big storm over the internet and it's effects on children. Obviously nothing came of it.
This shit wasn't the net's fault, we had the Manson family when all we had was radio and vinyl records. Same for the jonestown case.
I'm curious what people here will think of this case. We all use the net obviously, we are gamers, we deal with violent fantasy as entertainment. I hope most of us haven't committed any real attempted murders. (Not yet, in my case)
Do you think the girls got off light? Got treated fairly? I doubt people here will blame slenderman, what about the parents? Since we're all into the net and violent fantasy entertainment , what differences do you see between yourselves and these little idiots that (hopefully) kept you from pulling shit like this?
I:
I certainly don't blame the internet, horror stories, TV, music, games or anything else of that sort. The parents may share some blame, or may not. I do know that not everything a kid does can be blamed on the parents, but without knowing more I can't judge. Sometimes parents do at least share some culpability. I also don't know enough about mental illness to know if these girls were really sick or just evil little shits. Either way, they got off too lightly. If they're sick they need to be hospitalized for a loooong time, either for treatment or to protect society from them, and if not crazy then they need long prison sentences. In that case, keep them in a juvenile facility until they're of age, then prison. I'd show them a little more mercy than I would an adult who'd done the same, but that's about it.

oggsmash:
A person who is mentally deficient to the degree they are murderously dangerous to others for life should just be put down. If they are that tortured it is more humane, and if they are that dangerous it is more responsible.
David Johansen:
In principle maybe, but giving any government the power to declare someone dangerously crazy and execute them would be a greater level of insanity. Even the most well meaning governments and maybe especially the most well meaning ones as they would be more proactive in killing those too mad to agree with their every policy. If you think about it communism is the most well meaning government and the most proactive and the most horrible and bloody. No, I'm not totally opposed to the death penalty or even governments but I don't ever want to see the two of them in the same room together.
