Hey, if you get your rocks off by splitting hairs who am I to judge?

"Do I think he needs to be banished from society and sent to the moon and left there until the end of time? No. Do I think he forfeits his right to get a college scholarship at the University of North Dakota? Yes. Do I think he forfeits his right to play in the NHL? Yes."

Show me a study that says all 14 year olds know right from wrong. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

As B Brad (not Bill, my mistake) Miller puts it:

"I do think everybody deserves a second chance in life," Brad said. "I really do. He was young when all this stuff happened, I get that, but you're old enough to know right from wrong at 14 years old. If you're bullying a handicapped kid when you're 14 years old, and something in your head doesn't click that this isn't right, I don't think you're ever going to figure it out."
Yep. Deserves a second chance. But will never figure it out. How enlightened of him.

Article goes on to say:

Brad admitted that he wasn't perfect at that age and made mistakes and received second chances, but that age 14 is old enough to know right from wrong.
Glad he figured it out. Lucky there wasn't a commentator out there like him ready to pounce on his mistakes.
