I'm fascinated how bloodthirsty everyone here is for a _17-year-old_. I see this as a horrible tragedy for all concerned. Sean Taylor is dead, and four young men has essentially ended their lives. What a horrible loss of potential.

The horrible loss of potential occured solely because of the actions of Eric Rivera (and whatever direct role the others played in it).

Bloodthirsty? Interesting choice of words. No, it is about justice. And sending a message...

As far as I'm concerned, Mr. Rivera gets two choices....either

a) life in prison with zero chance of parole (though I'm not sure if Florida is one of the states that has life with no parole)

b) shave his head and attach the electrodes
