11yr old boy charged with murder

[ara87]

An 11 year boy from Pennsylvania shot and killed his father's girlfriend who was 8 months pregnant. Under PA law anyone over 10 who is accused of murder/homicide is tried as an adult. He's charged with the one count of homicide, and one count of homicide of an unborn child. If convicted he could face life in prison.

Meanwhile the boy who shot and killed his father, and his father's friend last year, has been sentenced to "extreme" probation

Crazy
First of all how does an 11 year old boy get his hands on a gun? (Was it his father's)?
that's just crazy...if you shot anybody, you get what you deserve no matter how old you are. What gives you the right to take people's lives away from them.

A 11 year old does not understand what he/she is doing and therefor should definetly not be charged as a adult. Cilderen can't think like adults and cant be judged by adult standards.

it was the kids own gun. Still my point is, this kid is going to be charged with 2 counts of homicide where as a kid in a similar case gets to make a plea bargain and not even be charged with involuntary manslaughter. Is it fair to the kid who shot his dad's pregnant girlfriend that he lives in a state that is less lenient on minors than the other kid?

Is it fair for people to lose their lives everyday due to cancer because some xxxxed up xxxxxxxs in the government don't want to give out the cure but just take money for their own selfish needs?

No I am not getting off topic, I am just relating to your post and asking you if it is fair.

No it's not fair

Why would you have sympathy for a human being that took someone else's life?
