1. Americans are obsessed with punishment and revenge....
Most folks can't even see it-- "punishment" is so deeply ingrained in our national psyche that most can't even imagine anything else. This story is just sad on all accounts. The boy died, everyone else's lives shattered, and a judicial system bent on magnifying the pain.
