Re: Supreme Court strikes down death penalty for juveniles
Ashley I understand your argument but IMO the government needs to make up its mind about how it perceives 18 year old people. Get this:
At the age of eighteen you can go to war and die for your country, smoke, buy pornography, and drive. You can’t do these things before 18 because you cannot be held accountable for your actions. Yet you can be given the DP before 18. What about not being accountable for actions? Something needs to change a line needs to be drawn. Besides even Saudi Arabia with its public executions don’t execute children.
And yes I do believe that the perpetrators of the Columbine shooting were aware of what they were doing is wrong but the irrationality of the act itself shows deep emotional stress or some other dysfunction. Whether it is hormonal or not, I don’t know. I do know I don’t blame the media, television, video games, or music. I see it as maybe those in their school that treated them the way they were being treated should have thought twice.
