'Tuba Man's' teen killers sentenced in juvenile court
By LEVI PULKKINEN
SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF
Three teens who admitted to killing Edward McMichael -- Seattle's "Tuba Man" -- will spend no more than a year in detention for the slaying and a related robbery.
McMichael died Nov. 3, days after being attacked without cause at a Lower Queen Anne bus stop. Police arrested the three youths weeks later, but after investigators and prosecutors were unable to find any witnesses willing to testify at trial, the teens garnered a plea deal.

@3 is right.
Bush inherited surpluses and ended up with big deficits.
Obama will fix it.
By quadrupling the deficit.
You heard me.

First he has to kick-start the economy, shithead. Because your man Bush fucked it and flooded it. Obama's not even on 100 days yet.

even though you're sorry you killed someone you didn't know for no reason, you're still a sociopath.
a year and a half in juvey only means these kids will do something worse sooner.
oh, and trolls suck obama's balls.

Slog rules : totally ignore the epidemic of black-committed crime.
Focus on the amazing importance of your anus and penis and vagina instead, and blame the Evil White Man.

@14, doesn't it depend what the remorse is over?
Sorry you killed someone because you did something heartless and now they're dead? Hi, maybe-not-sociopath.
Sorry you killed someone only because now you get hassled for it=hello, sociopath.

@15,
Perhaps, but it seems like many of the worst serial killers in recent memory weren't too troubled by the prospect of going to prison.
If these kids are genuinely remorseful, and not just upset about getting caught, then they aren't technically sociopaths.
It's also important to note that they were run-of-the-mill hooligans. I've yet to see any evidence that they set out to kill anyone that night. I think it's entirely likely that these kids are so fucking stupid that it didn't even occur to them that a brutal beatdown could cause someone's death.

The vote came after House Democratic leaders added a controversial provision to the bill -- at the insistence of House Speaker Frank Chopp -- that requires downtown Seattle property owners to pay for any cost overruns related to digging the tunnel.

Too stupid to know they were killing an old man? I think at that age most teenagers know that if you stomp on an elderly (or any) person, you will cause them enough harm to put them in the hospital or kill. There miserable rotten maggot bastards and 72 freakin' weeks for murder is a gross miscarriage of justice. The punks and their parents deserve to hang. They are worthless, worthless shit and they will never amount to anything.
