1. Should the two boys be tried as adults? why or why not? They should be tried as adults reguardless of their age. They are beyond the point of being able to know right from wrong, the boys are able to make decisions and think for themselves. Seeing as they thought this was a good idea; I believe we make our society a better place, try them as adults, and ponder the death penalty.
2. Should their identity remain undisclosed or since the crime is heinous? justify your answer? To me, it doesn't matter if their identities are revealed or not. My solution is hang them in front of the court house square for everybody to see.
3. What can we as a society do to keep crimes like this from happening?  We could arm every citizen, we wouldn't be in as much danger if the "bad guys" new they were at a higher risk as well.
Set an example, Hang them from an old oak tree and put it on national news for all to see. Let potential law breakings know what they will face if such extremist acts are commited. Instead of locking them up and hearing nothing about the situation ever again, make a lasting impression on everybody. Some may think this is cruel, but this is the way it was done up until the past 70 years.
