Kill a Man, Get Probation

It’s in the article. If pride is an issue, why would they ask a total stranger for $1?

Think back to fighting as a teenager.

What got your blood boiling?

All it takes is an insult.

“No, I won’t give you a dollar” is an insult?

My blood didn’t boil. It would never have occurred to me to demand money from a total stranger, especially not a 59 year-old man. Pride.

I think we both know what likely happened.

Where did any of this happen in this incident?

You’re working awfully hard to rationalize why a teen punk killed a man.

No. I’m not rationalizing anything.

Yeah, you kind of are. “Insult”.

There’s no mention of any insult in the article.

As I’ve said from the beginning, this is just a guess.

I have no dog in this fight.

Let’s be honest, don’t we both know what highly likely happened?

I don’t know. What do you think happened?

I think you do. They demanded the $1 to get him to pull his wallet. They were broke and looking for prey.

And beat him to death.

Sounds more plausible then beating him to death over “pride”

Nope.

Does the question have a point?

Is any penalty for any murder case a matter of vengeance?
