And if you have a problem with this, just give me the pro-rape side of the argument.
Ok, since you've put it in such a friendly, but perhaps too liberal way, I think boys under 12 should rape even younger girls. It's good for them, both, makes them stronger. Just like the boy in Gladiator was told that watching death matches made him stronger.
Now in all seriousness, I want to make something clear to this whole thread: none of you understand this boy. Neither do I. You don't understand him, but you understand that you don't like what he did, so you want to kill him or destroy his genitalia. First of all, he didn't do that to the girl, and second of all, there are much better ways to solve problems than destruction. While I'm all for population reduction, I think 9 is a little early. On the other hand, most people in my grade 4 class were as well insighted in grade 4 as most people around my age are now. So maybe age isn't an excuse.
Ok, so I suppose you're going to stand on a pedestal labelled "moral high ground" as you smash a hammer into a 9 year old boys genitals, and maybe his head afterwards (once he's suffered enough) to make sure that we can all live in a loving society that tries to push everyone towards compassion, forgiveness, and love. All power to you. In fact, I'll give you a buff if you want, free of charge.
Also, I definitely felt something for a girl in grade 4. I told everyone I loved her, so I definitely had hormones. But if I actually raped someone at that age, I hardly think it would be deserving of ending my life right there. I'm sure there's some self survival involved in that, but I don't think it would be fair. Also, he played with ehr for a long time, could it have been something she said? Was it just a form a dominance? I still think the murder you people are advocating is very much over the top. I'm sure his parents will give him quite the punishment. It should also be known if he is usually violent to girls, or boys, or not.
