Should 25 year olds be tried as juveniles?

I think they should make a category for young adults. A 25 year has the comprehension to be tried as an adult, but as anyone with any age on them knows, people in their 20's make a lot of mistakes simply from inexperience. The point? Try them as an adult, but make the punishments lighter than if they were 35. Well, we can't stop them from voting, as shown in the last election. Those "white, non-college educated, men" who voted strongly for Trump LOVED his "juvenile ways", (made youthful mistakes), so, if they are old enough to vote irresponsibly, they should be old enough to be tried as irresponsible adults, and, as now, pay for their mistakes. Taking into consideration their inability to reason as adults. If they are intelligent enough to get through college, they're probably intelligent enough to be considered normal 25 year olds. ;-) 1

While I don't think that makes him racist (because people who aren't racist make those kinds of comments all of the time), I think you have a good point that someone can be either mature or immature and vote for practically anyone. My cousin voted for Hillary and she is a very immature lady. If you ask the right people, you will find that people who voted for either Trump or Hillary can be either smart or dumb. Otherwise you are fitting people into stereotypes, but an intelligent person doesn't think that way. Now to DBCooper, I also don't say "all Muslims are terrorists" because an intelligent person knows there are all levels on any spectrum in any demographic you can pick. But I agree with your general point, and I do agree that there's an average based stat for anything. |
