most people by adulthood come to understand the right or wrongness of their actions and many may show remorse for it . I'd say its unfair to drag a not yet developed child oved the coals for actions that they dont undrstand the implications of , but once they are adults If they still don't have the wherewithal to understand why they were poor decisions and repeat said behavior then there is an issue

This sums up my feelings on this situation.
When it seemed like Miller actually was trying to take the steps to improve and learn from mistakes (as per what his agent had said) then I thought he deserved another chance. The actions of kids at that age reflect more on their upbringing and family at that age than the individual themselves, and I have a hard time still with telling a kid who was 14 that they can't do something because of their actions at 14, especially if they are trying to grow and change.
But now that it turns out it was all lip service and he wasn't actually actively working with any of those organizations and lied about it...well there goes your second chance and you don't deserve another one.
