MODERATORS
Without clarification on what you mean by "adult crimes", this is basically just saying "eliminate the juvenile justice system and feed the children to the sharks".
Change the address of the prison term but not the length.
Felonies. Let’s just use that as the line.
How about violent felonies? In amerikkka its a felony to be black in certain areas.
It may seem like that based on police behavior, but that isn’t true.
It's pretty true when they're dead
Still, not illegal. However, the murder should be… and it is often not.
You fundamentally don't understand the purpose of the juvenile justice system, you're just interested in the most punitive system possible. That is the system we already have, and we're one of the worst in world at it. There's no good argument for making the system even worse by cracking down on children specifically.
No, I understand it. I just don’t agree with you.
Kids who kill on purpose, and not in self defense, deserve to be treated like any other human.
Additionally, the parents should share in a good portion of then penalty.
Obviously each case has its own circumstances, so we shouldn’t throw the book at every one.
The kids in question were very much aware of what is right and wrong.
