That’s right. A nine-month-old baby was charged with attempted murder amid accusations he tried to kill police officers. In Pakistan. The specific charges seem to have been “planning a murder, threatening police and interfering in state affairs.”
I dunno. Spare the rod and spoil the child, ya know. I can only hope this isn’t a case of mollycoddling some delinquent!
Man, that kid is gonna grow up feeling totally entitled to do whatever he wants now… what are they teaching him by not making him face the consequences for his (vile, contemptible) actions? :dubious:
If we look into our hearts, how many of us can say we are innocent ? At any age ? The Pakistani legal system could not refuse to proceed on a mere technicality of size.
I hope he’s getting rehabilitation, rather than simply dropping the charges. What’s to prevent him from becoming a repeat offender? They should at least fit him for an ankle bracelet, in case he tries to crawl away.
I support dropping the charges, if only because when you charge one baby with murder, you have to start charging every single baby murderer out there. And then we’d have no babies left, because they’re all psychopaths.
True enough - they act on pure instinct and care nothing for anyone else or societies norms. In fact, the only reason most of us are alive is that babies are too small and ineffective to kill us all.
I see I let emotional hysteria get the best of me. The thread title should have indicated attempted murder charges, not murder. At least … not yet. They might should hang him anyway just to be sure, an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure, and all that.
MY feeds been burning for weeks on this story. My own feeling is that the police were setup and stupidly fell for it. The media was there in force. For a simple summons?
