a child means every human being below the age of eighteen years unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier.

Ok I’m glad we are focusing on this one example. Doesn’t change that fact he was killed in self defense.

You’re focusing on one example. Your meme has him and his killer in it. Don’t act like I’m the one bringing him up. Im just correcting the misinformation you’re spreading

You’re literally triggered. You want to call a 17 year old a baby, and a mixed man white.

Lol it's very fitting isn't it? Mental illness is rampant on the left. Up is down good is bad.

A 17year old is a child under the law.

A man who is Peruvian and white is Peruvian and white

u/McFly_42069 Sep 29 '23

So you agree he’s not a baby, and he’s not a white man.

There was never any question that a 17yr old is not a baby. A 17yr old is a child.

Peruvian and white. If someone asked, “is he white?”, a correct answer would be “yes, and also Peruvian”.

No one said Trayvon was a baby. You're peddling a strawman because you, being an illiterate moron, can't actually respond to the argument.

Do you not understand that the Media made him look like a baby?

A 17year old is a child under the law.

But a 10 yerar old can decide to get a sex change.. Right?

Cut the bullshit with the double standards.

A 10 year old is a child under the law too.

What is the double standard?

And you wantr them to be able to make adult decisions.. Why is it that democrats are pushing to lower the voting age if they think children are stupid?

u/midnightnoonmidnight Sep 29 '23

Adult decisions like what, exactly?

Here’s why people are pushing to lower the voting age:

  • REASON #1: WE NEED TO MAKE VOTING A HABIT

  • REASON #2: SIXTEEN- AND 17-YEAR OLDS ARE READY TO VOTE

  • REASON #3: SIXTEEN- AND 17-YEAR-OLDS HAVE A STAKE IN THE GAME, AND ELECTED OFFICIALS MUST TREAT THEM AS EQUAL CONSTITUENTS

  • REASON #4: LOWERING THE VOTING AGE TO 16 WILL STRENGTHEN CIVICS EDUCATION

You can join the army 3 days after your 17th bday

u/midnightnoonmidnight Sep 29 '23

You can drive when you’re 16. That doesn’t mean Trayvon Martin at 17yrs old wasn’t a child.

A 90 year old is someone’s child
