Three years isn't enough. They should be required to attend group and individual counseling and be evaluated for their rehabilitation before being released

Three years of daily being knocked off a bike and kicked in the chest, with no credit for time served, seems much more appropriate.

agree with whatever.

3 years in prison will just make them more vicious criminals. They easily could have killed the man and certainly have no respect for human life. They deserve more time, a lot more time and should have been convicted of attempted murder. As for the $305 in restitution for the victim, really? where do they even come up with that number?

I believe that kids in America especially in poor communities are at a disadvantage in many ways. If these were my kids-I would have whipped his behind until some sense got into brain or made his frontal lobe develop faster than expected by scientific research. However, this country calls it abusive parenting. My definition of abuse is a psychological sick gratification to see someone else suffer for no reason. However, this justifies a reason to discipline child in that manner and let belt get that behind into shape! In addition to taking parenting classes so that it would be a combination of whippings and the "talking" approach to deter these types of behavior in kids.My suggestion to San Mateo County is start an initiative of rehabilitation because I feel like most of the prison population comes this county if this county believes more in sending people to prison then rehabilitation. How difficult is to start an initiative in poor communities like public schools where parenting classes are required to teach parents what is expected of them and what their kids might be exposed to while they are away working to make a living. I believe that criminal records are far more damaging to people than a belt to the behind. Mainstream lives is what laws are intended for and not all live mainstream lives.
