The Death Penalty should be applied equally to all ages

That 22 month detention must have emotionally scared him, causing him to commit more murders.

Nah, not the 22nd but the 25th would be great right about now!

It's not irrelevant at all to the sane among us at least, which admittedly is fleeting around this peanut gallery these days...

Saying it doesn't make it so, Arthur. And quit with the "holier than thou" spiel. It's not convincing anyone.

A three year old "nicks" a spoon. Should they be tried for theft?

Yes. By his parents. If that doesn't work, or if the parents are not around or unwilling to discipline their child, then by the local court.

A ten year old is raped by an adult and claims the sexual "encounter" was consensual.
Rape of a minor by an adult? Yes or no?

What does this have to do with children committing crimes? The child is the victim here, not the criminal...

Unless you want to imply that children are also committing a crime by consenting to sex?

The rapist should be tried and upon conviction executed.

Your position on this subject is as twisted as unsupportable as it gets

The only reason you think it's twisted is because of your own twisted sense of morality.

Now, answer the question, Arthur.

If we allow one person, even if they're an adult, to get away with a crime, what does it teach him and other (would-be) criminals?

Oh noes! A three year old has stolen a spoon with malice aforethought!! The world is caving in around is, where will it end??!

Obviously the child/minor is the victim of rape but with your purview they could well be complicit. After all, it they can be found guilty of a capital crime at five years old then why can't they be guilty of wanting consensual sex at ten? This is how twisted your position is, and I suspect why nobody else is that vocal in supporting it, no matter how they might be on other matters...

Got a verse that specifically says the DP should apply to toddlers and infants yet? No? Thought not. (psst, there isn't one)

Answer the question, Arthur! I'm not going to respond to anything else you say in this thread until you do.
