After reading your response and actually reading about the case, you have caused me to change my mind. I see that Bradenton had no remorse for bludgeoning his parents to death. His sole purpose was to obtain money that he will actually never get to see. Although Locke believed that we as race act upon "natural goodness," in this situation Hobbes view worked for the best. The judge's statement was accurate for the crime committed and as a leader handed the correct punishment so that we could continue to live harmoniously. I think that because I was caught up in living harmoniously, that I expected the judge to be a little lenient and may allow him to grow from what he has done while in jail.
