    this really isn't politics but just a rant on how arbitrary the whole f'ing thing is..

    you ever notice how whenever a teenager does a crime the DA gets to decide whether or not to try him 'as an adult'..

    so which is it? does age make you an adult or the district attorney's arbitrary decision?

    • If kids can get tried as adults then cops & public officials should get their sentences escalated as well!whatthefunk
    • The adult age should match the age of consent within the region. I'd it's legal to have sex at the age of 15, they are now adults.robotron3k
    • plenty of factors are taken into account... it's not some 'arbitrary' decision but it is a difficult decision. Is there supposed to be a 'perfect' process?...PonyBoy
    • Prosecutors look at the seriousness of the offense, juvenile record (length of... rehab efforts etc) and the willingness of the juvenile to reform etcPonyBoy
