I think a more fitting punishment would have been removing paint from public walls and buildings for a year not death. My grandfather, when he was 12 was held after school with a friend for goofing off. He knew he’d be in big trouble for being late getting home so he tried to hop an open boxcar to get there faster. Sadly he missed the car and fell under the train being run over just below both knees. He’d have died, being cut in two at the waist had his friend not grabbed his arms and drug him out as far as he did. He went in to be a Golden Gloves boxer, operatic singer performing at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles and a Pastor touching many lives. Most importantly he had my father who had me. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😉" title="😉" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" /> How different the world would have been had he died because of a stupid decision.
