Comments on: Age and The Legal Hypocrisy Late Breaking New Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:38:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Brad http://bradstinyworld.com/socio-political-issues/law/age-and-the-legal-hypocrisy/#comment-434 Brad Mon, 12 May 2008 19:35:48 +0000 #comment-434 The problem is we can't let the law be a gray area, especially with murder. Deciding after a crime to treat a particular kid differently than their kid status would normally allow is no different than looking at a crowd of adult criminals and deciding after they have all been convicted to hang the dark skins and just tell the white ones to be good. Every time it comes down to a discriminatory practice, the law is supposed to be about equality and justice, not getting vengeance.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('434','Brad'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('434','Brad','The problem is we can\'t let the law be a gray area, especially with murder.

Hardcore crimes like murder should not be treated differently in my opinion, if you kill someone that person is dead and they are never coming back. And there is no doubt that underage individuals are treated differently when it comes to petty crimes, as they should be. I don't see that as a bad thing.
