Maryland proposed a bill to prevent anyone under 25 from being charged with felony murder. In Maryland, felony murder occurs when someone is killed while a felony crime, such as robbery or carjacking, Fox5 reports.
That’s an invitation for more murders.
Democratic Delegate Charlotte Crutchfield’s Youth Accountability and Safety Act, House Bill 1180, will soften the penalties for those under 25 who commit felony murder.
This has become a topic since Governor Wes Moore picked Victor Schiraldi to run the Juvenile Justice Service. Schiraldi says no one under 21 should be introduced to the justice system because the brain is not fully developed.
Opponents of HB 1180, like Republican Delegate Susan McComas, say Democrats only use mental capacity when it comes to soft-on-crime policies.
“Proponents of the bill say that the human brain is not fully formed in the frontal lobes until age 25. But yet, we’re doing other things in the general assembly, letting children vote earlier and earlier, letting them get hormone-inducing drugs to change their sex,” said McComas.
“If this bill passes, you’re going to have kingpins, you’re going to have gangs use juveniles to do their dirty work.,” said McComas.
Crutchfield said they shouldn’t be convicted of felony murder for a crime they didn’t mean to commit. Yikes!
Democrats have gone mad.
If they cannot be responsible for criminal behavior until 25, they should be prohibited from voting until 25. Simple as that.
As long as the murders are politically expedient for the left it will become socially acceptable. It will have the Media’s approval. We are moving back to the lions in the colluseum but no one sees it. Only one that can save you is God. So whatever you do DON’T REPENT!
Gee, what could go wrong?
Another brilliant idea from the diseased minds of the Left.
“…no one under 21 should be introduced to the justice system because the brain is not fully developed.”
If that’s the case, any murderer over 21 should get the death penalty.
Another Yankee state demonstrates its culture level.
It is all fun and games, until 18 year olds start killing democrat politicians
WTF?
LOL! What could possibly go wrong?
I identify as a lifelong 18 year old.
If this passes, I predict a sudden jump of under 25s committing murders.Gangs will use it as a loophole to be exploited and recruit young members to carry out murders. Lone crazies will also see it as an opportunity to commit murder with minimal consequences. How about placing more focus on the victims for a change, instead of coddling violent criminals?
;No booze, voting, smokes, driving until 25 then.
Pro criminal, pro crime, anti victim, the left has done everything inhumanly possible to put and keep criminals out on our streets, they have violated the civil rights of every American.
Here’s a Better Idea. Charge anyone over 12 as an adult if they commit a Felony; including Murder.
Sounds like Charlotte Crutchfield’s brain is not fully developed.
Absolutely insane idea.
Are society is hiding from the fact that there are evil people and sometimes that depravity shows up at a rather young age. A bias has been built into the thinking of most people that these individuals are still “innocents” incapable of understanding what their evil brings: horrible suffering for the victims and their families.”
If we understand ‘felony’ to mean “one of several serious crimes, such as murder, rape, or robbery, punishable by a more stringent sentence than that given for a misdemeanor” then a gang of 16 year-olds could do a brutal home invasion in which the people are raped (including minor children) violently and beaten violently so they die and they could do so almost with impunity.
Gangs like MS 13 use underage minors to commit felonies because the laws generally treat these vicious thugs as innocent minors. This will just give license to more mature thugs to murder, effectively extending the definition of minor to a 24 year old.
Am I the only one who sees the camel poking it’s head into the tent?
