In the state of Maryland, “Felony murder occurs when someone is killed while a felony crime, like robbery, is being committed.’
House Bill 1180 , also called the Youth Accountability and Safety Act, would ultimately prevent anyone under 25 from being charged with felony murder.
LOOK:
The new bill was introduced by Democratic Delegate Charlotte Cruchfield.
Cruchfield’s reasoning behind the new bill is that a person’s frontal lobes are not fully developed until the age of 25.
Republicans, however, are not on board with the idea of murderers getting off the hook.
Per Fox 45 Baltimore:
However, opponents of HB 1180, like Republican Delegate Susan McComas say Democrats are only using mental capacity when it comes to soft on crime policies.
“Proponents of the bill say that the human brain is not fully formed in the frontal lobes until age 25. But yet, we’re doing other things in the general assembly, letting children vote earlier and earlier, letting them get hormone inducing drugs to change their sex,” said McComas.
So an over 25 y/o gang member will have an under 25 y/o member commit the murder.
REMOVE the WOKE Democrats from GOVT !!!! They are Ruining America all they can !!!!!!!!
WE need FIRING SQUAD ALL 50 states & Enforce it !!!!!!
Why complicate things? This coming July, the recreational Willie Nelson weed, will be in effect the entire July 4th weekend in OC. Most of us won’t know what a Felony is during all the partying much less than somebody dying.
Holy Sh**!!! 25 years or younger??
I’ve seen (and known) some 17 year old boys that would scare the hell out of real gangsters and who don’t care a thing about taking your life.
But they are 17 and DEMOCRATS think they are “just chlidren”???
Your leaders….it’s just open permission for these hotheads to kill without fear of life in prison or the death penalty. How stupid are DEMOCRATS??? Apparently, we have not found the limit yet….
Keep cheering. Just STOP VOTING FOR THEM.
It should be illegal to be a democrat. They can come up with the dumbest damn ideas imaginable
So the 23 year old guy that shot the MST earlier this week would not be charged with murder if the trooper died? They want to give children sexual permissions at 10 or 12 years old so they can rape them and say its okay. These democrats are just plain evil.
Very funny that since your frontal lobe isn’t fully developed until the age of 25 we don’t want you charged with a murder BUT it’s okay to make a sex change while still in grade school without your parents permission!! Something is very wrong with the morans being put in office
DAMN hire 24 and under to kill someone and they cant do shit to them WOW
That is ALREADY Done > Nothing New !!!
Well, nothing can go wrong with this bill…
What a bunch of idiots we have in the MD legislature.
Unreal. I don’t care what age you are. you know well enough not to kill. Stop blaming everyone and every thing else for that individuals actions.
That is why you kill someone then you are killed when caught. they went for their weapon. You shoot a POLICE YOU DIE . There is no excuse to shoot a Police. I BELIEVE IN THE DEATH PENALTY WITH NO APPEAL.LOAD UP THE PRISONS and THEN WHEN THEY ARE FULL THEN USE THE DEATH PENALTY.. That will reduce the crime rate
and cut cost.
Frontal lobes? How the hell do these folks get elected?
So if their frontal lobes are not developed enough to make good decisions, we should also take away their right to vote, drive, purchase cigarettes (and weed) and serve in the military?!?! What a stupid idea!
So it’s like literally none of you have read or understood the article. They’re talking about felony murder, which is when a victim is killed during commission of a felony. This is not when someone sets out to kill someone. Just when someone dies during a felony. We can debate the merits of the proposed change but can we please at least get the facts straight? Come on people!
