The message that society sends out to youths is that it's ok to terrorize, batter, beat, stab or otherwise mame another person because apparently, at 18, you magically know what's right and what's wrong. So, until you hit that magic age, feel free to do whatever you want with little or no consequence. It angers me that this law is turning the youth into the vermin of society with all the car breakins and eldery beatings and nothing ever happens to them. I say if you're old enough to do the crime, you're old enough to do the time.
