      What part of him was so undeveloped that he couldn’t understand the wrongness of the situation he was in or the repercussions of what he was threatening? Including that if he was caught he would face prison time?

      Keep in mind that I am aware that the threat of prison time literally is scientifically proven to not prevent people from commiting crimes.

      Are you suggesting that this person didn’t understand? Are you suggesting that this person can’t be held responsible for his actions? Are you suggesting that this person lacked impulse control and therefore should not face consequences? Are you suggesting that this person is unable to think far enough ahead to understand the situation they were in?

      Because “not done developing” doesn’t mean that they lack the ability.

      I’m going to leave you with this link because I am done with this conversation. I am and have not argued that this man deserves prison time, only that prison time is the current consequence for his actions under the law.

      I have not argued that prison is a good place or a good place for him, specifically because I do not believe that it is a good place or a good place for him.

      Read the article or don’t. But I’m over having more than half of what I say ignored so you can regurgitate that same comment repeatedly as if it means something in the grand scheme of this conversation.
