Dem Bill Would Prevent Anyone Under Age of 25 Being Charged With Murder Felony

A new ‘racial justice’ bill introduced by Democrats in Maryland would prevent suspected criminals under the age of 25 being charged with felony murder under the justification that their frontal lobes are not fully developed.

Yes, really.

A felony murder occurs when someone is killed as a result of a felony crime, like if a getaway driver hits a pedestrian while fleeing the scene of a robbery.

Democrats appear to think that it’s racist to charge someone for that crime even if they are legally an adult.

“Democratic Delegate Charlotte Crutchfield is looking to change that with her Youth Accountability and Safety Act, House Bill 1180,” reports Fox Baltimore. “Specifically, Delegate Crutchfield wants that to apply to anyone under the age of 25.”

The bill was introduced after Governor Wes Moore’s pick to run the Juvenile Justice Service, Vincent Schiraldi, argued that no one under the age of 21 should be introduced to the justice system because their frontal lobes are not fully developed.

“People between the ages of 18 and 25 are more developmentally similar to juveniles than they are to fully mature adults,” Schiraldi previously told NPR. “They just are. And our justice system hasn’t figured that out yet.”

Republican Delegate Susan McComas, an opponent of the new bill, pointed out the ludicrous dichotomy of how Democrats treat minors and young adults.

“Proponents of the bill say that the human brain is not fully formed in the frontal lobes until age 25. But yet, we’re doing other things in the general assembly, letting children vote earlier and earlier, letting them get hormone inducing drugs to change their sex,” she said.

McComas cautioned that the passage of the bill would simply lead to another spike in crime.

“If this bill passes, you’re going to have kingpins, you’re going to have gangs use juveniles to do their dirty work,” she warned.

“Though Crutchfield wants to go easy on black “juvenile” adult murderers, she sponsored a hate crime bill last year to expand harsh punishments for whites who commit “hate crimes” against nonwhites and empower nonwhite victims to sue their white oppressors in civil court,” writes Chris Menahan.

“Black murderers need “restorative justice” but whites who commit “microaggressions” must be locked up for life!”

In a related story, community activist Morris “Big Money Griff” Griffin told the California Reparations Task Force that reparations is the only thing that will stop young black criminals looting liquor and jewelry stores.

Walmart recently announced that it will be closing down its final two stores in Portland due to a massive spike in theft, while other big retailers are also shutting down stories in high crime cities like Seattle, New York and San Francisco.

As we highlight in the video below, passage of the Youth Accountability and Safety Act will only serve to exacerbate the utter lawlessness that has gripped the streets of major cities in blue states.
