[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see we’re now quoting scripture to try to deter comments supportive of the victim’s family. Curious where this could possibly go next.[/quote]

The killer’s supporters are really going to weird ends now. Apparently criticizing public officials is “hate speech” and the poster is ignoring the fact that the rule of law they claim to respect does allow for juveniles to be charged as adults in some situations, so it’s not the bright line rule they claim it to be. It’s a gray area subject to reasonable debate, but that poster is being obtuse. Also, while the defendant got off easy in the court of law, the court of public opinion doesn’t have to forgive so quickly. It’s unreasonable to think most people are going to think kindly in regards to someone who just killed an innocent teenager just 6 months ago.

And you know what isn’t very Christianly — mowing someone down with a 3,000 lb vehicle at close to 100 mph while drunk and high, nor being the person who tried to explain such heinous behavior away as merely routine juvenile risk taking. So spare me the holier than thou garbage. [/quote]

Yeah I think that if there’s a case for juveniles being charged as adults (rightly so IMO) then this is definitely such a situation - the juvenile was engaging in an activity reserved for adults (driving a vehicle) and the level of recklessness and general disregard for public safety meant that any reasonable person (even a much younger kid) would expect that people could get hurt from those actions.[/quote]
