When you research and dig deep enough you will find suicide bombers and assassins and even the school massacres are all connected.

I I hope they catch them and dispense some pain, even if it is just a stiff fine and a few weeks in the slammer.
Just want to make sure I am reading this correctly, "if" they are kids, you hope they "dispense some pain" on children? Even if it is "just" a few weeks in the slammer?
Am I really reading this right? You think corporal punishment, isolation, throwing them into an extremely traumatic experience will correct the problem? Some how you think this will fix it from happening again after you traumatize these children?
Let's not look at where society went wrong, school system went wrong, or parenting went wrong, for the kids to even think this would be a funny game, but let's use severe punishment to band-aide the problem and move on to the next problem that we can band-aide that as well.
Am I seriously reading this correctly, or making "gross" assumptions and just not understanding what you really mean.

Gotcha. So you don't see getting to the root cause of why it would happen, just take action against the perps and move on to the next case.
I also notice you selectively avoided the question the best you can on how to handle it if it was kids. So I am assuming based off your response, it would be perfectly fine to throw them in jail, and that would surely scare the next kids from doing it. That would makes sense of the overcrowding problem in the current prison system for sure. Lot's of folks learning tough lessons from watching everyone being thrown into prisons. In fact, capital punishment has had an awesome impact on the reduction of murder. Let's not fix society, just take care of those bad boys is all.
Not to mention that, and I don't believe you approve of it at all, just using it as an example, but forms of negative reinforcement to the extreme like cutting off the hands of thieves, stoning woman for adultery, have little impact on stopping people from doing it to begin with.
Something tells me that I wouldn't want a whoopin' from you if I was a child and you were the parent.
