Laurence Lovette, only 17 years old has been arrested, not just for the recent killing of UNC student Eve Carson, but also the murder of Duke University graduate student Abhijit Mahato. Now, here is a 17 year old kid that has killed twice that we know of. He callously ended two promising lives for material gain, and not a lot of that. You can argue he is just a child, I say he is a cold blooded killer who deserves to die for his crimes. It is time for thugs like Lovette to pay for the crimes they commit. Killers love to hide behind their race, or religion, or environment and use these things as an excuse. That is a load of crap. I know many people that had nothing and not only didn't become killers, but through hard work made something of themselves. I was reading an article by Glenn Beck today, and he was talking about personal accountability. That is what's missing in America today. From politicians to lowlife thugs like Lovette there is no accountability. Personal accountability can't be forced or taught. But we, as a society can hold people responsible for their actions. Then and only then will people realize their actions can have dire consequences. We need to forget Mr. Lovette is seventeen and instead remember he is a killer.
