High School Students to be tried as adults in any gang violence

WASHINGTON —  The recent federal conviction of two Virginia gang members in the murder of a four-months-pregnant teenager resulted in the death penalty, and if some members of Congress have their way, more such punishments will follow, and gang members will be headed to prison for longer sentences.

"We can assure you one thing: They won’t be committing more crimes because they will be off the street," Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., said.

Forbes is the author of new legislation that would set forth federal mandatory minimum sentences for criminal gang activity, enabling the federal courts to try 16- and 17-year-olds as adults, add time to convictions of illegal immigrants and regular citizens in gangs and make it easier for prosecutors to seek the death penalty for convicted gang members.

Forbes worked with other Virginia Republicans to get the bill passed through the House of Representatives on a 279-144 vote. Penalty in Texas is toughest in the nation (zero tolerance to gang violence). mandatory sentences for all gang members involved in any crime or fights on school property or any fights involved with students in route to or away from school.
