Enough is enough! It’s time for states to send a message to kids: if you kill, you will be executed by the state after a fair, fast, if not final trial! After the trial, permit him a state-financed appeal then on to the execution chamber. No killer should be alive more than a year after the crime.

It seems many “lost” teenage males are getting their fifteen minutes of fame by, for the most part, using legal weapons to kill fellow students. The shooters are usually losers, leftists, or loonies—usually saturated with potent mind-altering and personality-altering drugs. A study by the liberal Mother Jones magazine verified that about two-thirds of mass killings since 1980 were committed by the “mentally unstable.” If they are truly mentally ill then they belong in a secure medical facility.

My critics will point out that the Santa Fe shooter was not a leftist since he had a Nazi medal on his coat and that exactly supports my position. The Nazis were on the political left–Socialists—the National Socialist Workers’ Party as personified in Adolph Hitler.

Those young killers who don’t save the state a huge pile of money by using their weapon one more time, should be led down the last mile to “old sparky” or to hanging or to some other death chamber!

Gasp!

Those with a soft head will be appalled at the suggestion; however, when America’s youth see one or two teens put to death, it will save numerous lives. Deterrence works.

Many leftists shriek that it is inhumane to execute teens, even vicious teen killers and it would be state-approved killing! Those same people are adamant that a woman has a right to kill her innocent unborn baby, yet the state should not execute a killer after his defense has been heard in court! Moreover, if my critics argue that teens are too young to be killed, it negates their abortion argument. After all, the states kill millions of innocent unborn babies every year. I only want to execute a few much older teens for heinous killings.

Such executions would produce at least two results: the executed killer would never kill again and his execution would send a signal to other teens.

Moreover, it is no valid argument that youth should be exempt from execution following a premeditated killing. Who decided that rule? Upon what basis is it founded?

We are told that we should forgive the killer, especially the young killer; but I remind them that no killer has asked for my forgiveness. Besides, he didn’t take the life of one of my relatives so I don’t have the right to forgive him.

During a talk show, forgiveness and mercy were mentioned as related to a mother who drowned her two little boys. I had just demanded a death sentence for her (after my friend Jerry Falwell asked for leniency), but the judge I was debating asked, “But what about mercy, Dr. Boys?” I replied, “Mercy you get from God; from the courts you expect justice.” He should have known that.

The judge said, “But all the clergymen in her small town have asked for mercy in her behalf.” I said, “Her two dead children would liked to have seen some mercy from her, but instead they were held under the water until the bubbles disappeared. Besides, preachers asking for mercy is not much of an argument, since most preachers pull on panty hose each morning and wear lace on their shorts.” The host said, “What did you say?” I repeated it, and he said, “I thought that’s what you said.”

The judge was silent.

Members of society should demand of our legislators that crime must not pay. That message must resonate to every city and country town that killers will not be pampered and made heroes in the media. Killers will be executed and after all, that can facilitate the best kind of rehabilitation. If a person knows he is going to die in 30 days, while the ACLU, PAW, NAACP and other radical groups whine, weep, and light candles for him, then maybe he will experience the ultimate in rehabilitation and turn to Christ for genuine salvation.

Sure, the death penalty is state-approved killing; and killing the killer, even a teen, will show compassion and responsibility by the state since it will eliminate further killings and deter others from doing so. It’s called, tough love.

Passing laws have little effect on those determined to break those laws. If each state passed a law making all guns illegal, only good guys would obey. After all, it is obvious that the bad guys are not going to obey any law that would frustrate their plans. It seems superfluous to remind my readers that it is illegal in every state to use any kind of gun to murder someone.

People who love others will want a society where wrong is punished and right is promoted–In the Indiana House of Representatives, I even voted to bring back old Sparky!

When a few young people are executed, the “glory” of their killings will dissipate; and the medicated, angry, and bullied kid will go back to his video games for his satisfaction, not shoot his way to glory.

Carry out the death penalty on a few teens for the safety of thousands of others.

After a couple months, I received a call from a publisher who was interested in using the article as a book chapter dealing with teenage crime. He sent me a $500 check and I forgot about it. I don’t know the title of the book, but I received critical comments for years.

Yesterday, when I went to my website, I discovered the article and saw 50 replies that had been added over the years. The comments that I had never read were pathetic and make curious reading—the poor grammar, punctuation, logic, etc. Anyway, I decided to update and rewrite the original column as reproduced below since it is so timely:

Our city streets are dark, dirty, dangerous, and often dominated by raping, robbing, and rampaging children. Juveniles under 18 accounted for almost 14% of all violent crime arrests and over 22% of all property crime arrests according to the CDC for 2010 and 784 teens were arrested for murder!

We are seeing more and more very young people commit serious, sordid, and sadistic crimes–some kids as young as six! As families, homes, and churches implode, a subculture of juvenile criminals has developed.

Juveniles used to be considered young, athletic students with ruddy complexion, squeaky voice and acne, but now they are often vindictive, vicious, and violent criminals.

We have been assured that “there is no such thing as a bad boy” (or girl); however, the fact is, there is no such thing as a good boy (or girl). No kid has to be taught to lie, steal, talk back, rebel, etc. It is human nature. Theologians call it the “fallen nature,” as a result of original sin. But since that is not politically correct, men have been conned into believing that all people are basically good–then they try to justify and explain why “good” people commit outrageously brutal crimes.

Part of the problem of juvenile crime is the criminal justice system itself. While ours may be the “best in the world” (what does that say about the rest of the world?) it is long overdue for a major overhaul. It is part of my recommended crime bill to insist on that overhaul.

Kids must no longer have a free ride until age 18. They must get the message that they will be held accountable for their actions with their names and photos published in the media, and their record following them if they continue into adult crime. Of course, they should not be glorified. Studies show that a juvenile’s crime record is one of the most valid predictors of repeat adult crime.

Young criminals should not be in school, and while the bleeding hearts whine about those kids, I prefer to show my concern for the large group who want to learn. Put the violent kids in a boot camp where they can be made into “young marines” under the tutelage of a traditional leatherneck trained at Parris Island.

Get them up at 5:00 a.m., feed them a big breakfast, and work them until they drop. Absolutely no back talk and only magic words such as “yes sir,” “no sir,” “please,” and “thank you, sir” would be permitted. And no psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, or lawyer within 100 miles!

Those kids who are involved in nonviolent crime would be treated less severely. They would be forced to make restitution to their victims, clean up any mess they made and spend time in structured community service.

Kids must learn that justice will be swift, sure, and severe in the courts if not at home and school. Personal accountably will be the reality from now on. That will appall many social scientists and psychologists who tell us that a youth person is not responsible for personal actions. It all goes back, we are told, to poor potty training, low self-esteem, poor living conditions, etc., so a young person should not be held to an accounting for his crimes. My intellectual and scientific reply is poppycock, balderdash and a generous portion of hogwash—especially hogwash.

We are told that kids murder, mug, and maim because they grew up in poverty; however, poverty doesn’t cause crime; crime causes poverty. Juveniles, like adults, commit crimes because they choose to do so. And they must be held accountable.

When young criminals kill and rape, they should be treated like adults, even executing them! Most of us are horrified at that thought but if capital punishment can be defended (and it can be) then who is to say one must be 21? If a 16-year-old commits a vicious murder, who says he should not pay with his life? Of course, there must be an age below which a child would not be executed, but that is a political decision made in each state. Sadly, few politicians have the courage to make difficult decisions.

So the message to kids should be clear, concise, and conclusive. No free ride until 18. No anonymity. No blaming poverty, parents, or potty training for criminality. No more community service for rape and murder. Even the dullest teen will understand that society finally considers leniency a thing of the past. Hopefully such prior leniency will be considered lunacy.

Kids think they can get away with murder and they will continue to believe that until citizens force the criminal justice system to get its act together. When a few teens “walk the last mile,” other teens will get the message that sane, sensible, and scared people are taking over from the bleating hearts.

The radical leftist, upon reading this, will stand up and on cue, bleed all over himself; however, my heart bleeds for the innocent victims–not for criminals, young or old.
