You didn't quote or didn't read the most important bit- the isolated, very last thought.

I can't blame them for wanting revenge. At all. If it were my kid, there'd be a house full of bodies down the street and I'd be going to jail for the multiple murder of my daughter's harassers, more than likely. That doesn't mean I condone revenge,
or would support it with law.

you people amaze me, so ready to hold a 13 year old girls actions as something she should be personally responsible for, yet decry the notion that we should hold a 17 year old to be tried as an adult for murder. idiocy. no wonder we're so fucked up as a nation.

Who the hell is arguing that a 17 year old shouldn't be tried for murder as an adult? Where the hell did you get that suggestion? Certainly not from me, and I don't think from any of the other "suicide is her choice" people in this thread. In fact, in the last thread about prosecuting minors as adults, I remember being very vocal about prosecuting minors as adults for adult crimes- so I have no clue what you're talking about. You're comparing the opinions of
some people not even in this discussion, to the opinions of some
other people, who are in this discussion, on two completely unrelated topics.
Why not just post, "it's amazing that some of you want to blame the daughter, considering so many of you prefer strawberry, over grape, on your peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches."
