Okay, so lets say that a family has a bad child. Perhaps they attempt to get strict with that child in order to reform them.
And that child grabs a loaded gun and points it at the father and pulls the trigger! The gun goes off but not before the father grabbed it and pointed it away from himself and in a safe direction.
So that looks like attempted murder of the father by the child.
Now if you charge the father for the crime of the child you are charging the father with attempted murder?
You are charging the father with attempted murder of himself?
I am trying to elucidate a point here. Something about futility of legislation?
You can't create legislation with regard to something like this because their would be ambiguity or subjectivity in application?
How can you have judges that really don't care what the intent of a law is and they only want to ask if a law was broken?
Perhaps it is like this, when you have laws that can be applied ambiguously and subjectively without regard for the intent of the law it is almost like you have no law at all and really have divine right rulings?
Do our current laws allow us to try a mass shooter who is a child and give that child the death penalty? I doubt it. Who among us would be of the delusion that a child like that is innocent? That they just need to put this behind them?
So you have Republicans and no child left behind types of false idealism? Can we blame that for the mass shootings our nation is currently facing? The problem being victims of that child where sometimes likely hard working mothers, hard honest working fathers, innocent children who believed in playing by the rules. How can you look past the victims lives in favor of the forced fit in future life of that bad child?
And can you have a nation of alcoholics governed by a Constitutional Democracy? You know it is a lot more fair question than you want to give it merit for being.
And I know a lot of people hate this type of writing. They absolutely loathe it. Like a fool reading for the first time that the earth is round and having hyperactive emotionally disturbed fit. And that is just the problem!
