A childs mind cant grap this notion. The human mind isnt near fully maturity until 25 to 26 years of age to understand this. Just because they are 17 or 18 or even 21, they are still a ways from understanding the impact of their behavior. If governments had to wait until kids were 25 before forcing them into the armed forces, it would be much harder to brainwash and condition them to be cold blooded killers who stay in for a life time or pay the ultimate price. The government knows get them at 17 or 18 with an IQ higher than 84 and you can create a complete cold blooded monster to kill at will without questioning you why he is doing it. They destroy their moral compass before the brain is fully developed.

@@belllllla4995 it happened very quickly, so it’s one bad decision. Sometimes emotions can get real high and men can do crazy things. Men and females are very very different, like we’re hardly similar in our thoughts and experiences and emotions. We are not really even the same species. Like when have you ever heard of a female experiencing depression or being lonely or feeling like a loser? It doesn’t happen obviously cuz females are much more popular and powerful and thus have great lives. I know it’s random but my main point is that I think men in particular should be forgiven legally for these crimes since emotions run high and it’s not under their control, for the most part. He was possessed I guess. Same with guys like Elliot Rodger or the columbine shooters. They weren’t really in control. The thing they did that was smart however was turning the gun on themselves since they didn’t want to go to prison (Cruz made the mistake of letting the police take him alive ). Just my opinion

The thing about apologies… is that sometimes when people who don’t deserve to ask for it when they do it cause either Immense pain or confusion for the victims but never relief. So I don’t think someone who has caused this magnitude of crime should ever be given a chance to apologize. No one needs to hear it.

I think there’s no need for him to apologize either. He’s paying the price in prison which is already enough.
