14 is just too young. I can't accept throwing away the key on children

10. I couldn't agree more.

We accept that people under a certain age are simply not developed enough to be held completely responsible for their actions, at least not in the same way as a full grown adult. Yet when it comes to crime, even many progressives are very quick to forget this one simple fact.

Of course you'll see plenty of false dichotomy type fallacies, with people saying things like "Oh, would you want him living next to YOUR family??" as if the only options available are a life in jail or letting the child roam free. People seem incapable of seeing any sort of middle ground in these sorts of things.

And with PROGRESSIVES in this country having a mindset like that, it's no wonder we imprison so many of our people and have, without a doubt, one of the worst justice systems in the western world (and even outside of it).
