Reply to comment by mortgagepants in Philadelphia juvenile street gang linked to thefts of nearly 100 firearms from Pennsylvania gun stores by TreeMac12

>16 year olds are kids. there is a reason we don't let them do adult shit, because they don't have fully developed brains. you want to let them drink, buy weed, drive cars, buy guns, vote, and join the army? fine, they're adults at 16.

Nope, I want to lock them up for doing that stuff.

Their parents too.

"unless you have kids, you just can't imagine how hard it is to raise them so that they don't go out in the middle of the night to break into gun stores over and over!"

hahah yeah fuck the 6th amendment! In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

also, fuck my first amendment too, right? you should head down to 5th and chestnut and check out the building there, it is full of these old documents.
