Now, Trump wants to charge 14-year-olds as criminals

[skye]

I include ALL felony crimes that 14 year olds engage in

Try them as adults

Exactly

 

[Mack The Finger]

Trump stated that "crime in Washington is totally out of control" and my post was addressing that lie!

I trust you looked at crime chart I posted !

Dude...you need TDS pills !

Do you realize Orange Man Bad had done more to fight crime in the District than whats his name ?

We are the we...we have been wait for. ObamaChrist

Oh my gawd, once again doubting the data, statistics and facts.

You are certainly one of the herd

Let me repeat what I have said a million times before

You can point (actually cherry-pick) anything that anyone does and find some good as well as find some bad. The bottom line are the benefits and consequences of the actions taken and if the consequences outweigh the benefits, you ditch that action to the garbage.

I have never said or implied that many of the things that Trump is doing do not have any benefits. The problem with Trump (with everything he does) is that he is incompetent (meaning he does things badly even when there is a good involved), he is an egotist and a narcissist (meaning he never does anything that does not benefit him and his friends first and foremost), and he does not respect anything or anyone (meaning that he is as willing to break the laws as well as the Constitution).

Nothing is life is perfect (fact) and the idea is to go 2 steps forward while going one step back. Trump is taking us 1 step forward and 5 back.

He does not deserve to be president. In fact, he deserves to be in jail.

Yeah, well, if 14 year olds don't know what they're doing, then 24 year olds don't either. And the law can be changed

You truly have your head in a garbage can

AI Overview


Defining "teenager" vs. "adult": Scientific and legal perspectives
The distinction between a teenager and an adult is complex, involving both biological development and societal definitions.
Scientific definition

• Scientifically, the period of adolescence (often associated with being a "teenager") is now understood to extend from ages 10 to 24.
• While biological maturity and the capacity to reproduce may be reached around age 16, brain development, particularly in the prefrontal cortex responsible for judgment and decision-making, continues into the mid-20s.
• Adolescence encompasses significant physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes, including puberty, developing abstract thought, forming identity, and shifting towards peer relationships.
• Studies show that teens process information differently, relying more on the emotional amygdala than the rational prefrontal cortex compared to adults.

Legal definition

• Legally, the age of majority marks the point when an individual is considered an adult and subject to the full rights and responsibilities of adulthood.
• In most countries and US states, the age of majority is 18.
• However, exceptions exist, with the age of majority being 19 in some US states like Alabama and Nebraska, and 21 in Mississippi and Puerto Rico.
• At the age of majority, individuals gain rights such as voting, joining the military, entering contracts, and become legally responsible for their own actions.
• It's important to note that the age of majority may differ from the legal age of license for certain activities like drinking alcohol or driving, which can vary by jurisdiction.

In essence, while the legal definition of an adult often centers on reaching a specific age (typically 18), the scientific understanding emphasizes a longer period of adolescent development, with the brain continuing to mature well into the mid-20s.

Trump posted the following message on Truth Social:

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local “youths” and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it’s going to happen now! The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these “minors” as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14. The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs. Washington, D.C., must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see. If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore. Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago, then this incredible young man, and so many others, would not have had to go through the horrors of Violent Crime. If this continues, I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

This suggests that not only will anyone that doesn't see (and agree) with Trump "or wants to complain" about his way of thinking, should be put in Jail, including minors.

Charge them -- as criminals!?

OMG! Aren't they allowed to have at least a few of their adolescent years where they can rob, rape and murder without fear of being a criminal?

No one seriously believes those stats. They are a wink wink joke in DC.

It is priceless when democrats defend violent crime. How did they get to this point? It reminds of when they said the border is just fine, nothing to see here. Didn't the mayor of Portland say that protecting citizens wasn't the responsibility of the city? I'm not sure how voters are supposed to believe that the Democrats actually want to help them.

No one is defending violent crime. Our laws have been dealing with violent crime for centuries and no Democrat (much less me - an Independent) has defended violent crime.

What I am attacking and against is our laws and our Constitution being thrown away in an effort to address the "small" amount of crime that is done by teens (compared to what is done by adults).

Our laws are already addressing teen violence, and it is done the best way possible, while keeping common sense and established guidelines/rules in place.

By the way, in this thread there has not been one single instance (especially by me) where rape and murder was supported. This OP is all about what Trump stated about what is happening in Washington DC. It has already been PROVEN that his statement is not only a lie (violence in Washington DC has not increased) but that it violates what the established laws state should occur (from a legal and Constitutional way).

Your post is as biased as it gets.

You certainly are a member of the club

Your ideas may sound good to libs - at least on paper, and if we dont think about it too deeply

But the fact is that children know they can break the law without fear of serious consequences

Moving forward the punishment should fit the crime instead of the criminal

Tell that to whoever wrote the title

Once again, you are looking at the issue with a magnifying glass, instead of looking at the big picture that shows the longer term and bigger consequences of doing what Trump is looking to do

Isn't it obvious telling teens there is no consequences to criminal acts is a bad idea. Yes, many of these crimes are violent. Telling people that these soft laws are just dandy is exactly why people think democrat policy makers just like crime.

You are truly blind-by-choice

I need you to prove to me that the Democrats (or anyone else) is TELLING teens that there are NO consequences for doing criminal acts.

I DARE you to show me one single instance where someone told a teen "you can murder, rape, and rob without any consequences attached" !! !!!!
