In the realm of teenagers jumping each other and beating each other up it's nothing, a serious ass whuping sure but just an ass whuping.
and these are fucking 14 year olds we are talking about. Why would you charge a 14 year old as an adult? They are 14! They don't know what an adult knows, how can you hold them up to the adult standard?
Call it an "ass whupping" or whatever, slamming someone's head into a wall knocking them out, and beating them for a half hour is a serious offense that deserves punishment. However, I never said that a 14 year old should be tried as an adult.
