I fucking HATE when kids are tried as adults. Sick fascist bullshit.

I have to say I agree. People do it only because they want "justice" (really, vengeance) and it's an easy way for them to get it. I get that it's hard to have empathy for someone who seriously hurt you or a loved one, even if that person is a child. I really do. But that's why the justice system exists and vigilante justice is frowned upon. (Usually I hear of families of victims pressuring the courts to try someone as an adult. And it's like no, don't, if they're not, you know, ACTUALLY an adult.)

I disagree. A teenager knows that killing someone is wrong, no matter the reasoning behind it. They also know that Slenderman isn't real, and if they don't know that, then they have serious mental issues that need to be addressed.

In this case, these girls plotted the attempted murder for weeks and lured their victim to a place where they knew no one would find her and then stabbed her nineteen times. This isn't a kid doing something dumb, that's downright cold-blooded sociopathic behavior. They absolutely should be treated as adults for that level of malice aforethought that went into it.

If they didn't know it was wrong they wouldn't be being tried at all. We have procedures for that one. What they lack was both a clear insight into what they were doing, and a full appreciation of the consequences for them as well as the victim. That is because teenagers are still children. That lack of full appreciation of consequences and insight are why children do not get tried as adults, no matter how much we want to pretend otherwise.

They did this because they thought their obnoxious fangirl canonized crappypasta universe of Tumblroid self-insert characters was REAL. THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SOMETHING ONLY KIDS DO.

But if it were two boys instead of two girls, you wouldn't have any issues with them being tried as adults, wouldn't you?

Hey, someone had to say it.

AYRT

Don't be an idiot. Sick fascist bullshit is sick fascist bullshit.
