If three teenagers commit a crime, two girls and one boy. Who should be charged?

Last fall, here in Buffalo, NY two teenage girls (both 15) and one teenage boy (16) went to a Christian church and with spray paint vadalized the church with "LONG LIVE THE ATHEISTS" ... and they also burned an American flag.

They are all being charged ... but do you think it's unfair that they are charging the girls? Girls never do that sort of stuff. I think that they should let the girls off and put the boy in jail, maybe for life. What do you think?

I'm not sure how much Crack you have been smoking, but GENDER has absolutely no bearing on Guilt or Innocence...

IF they did the crime, then they should pay the time ;);)

I LIVE in BUFFALO too and I'm familiar with this story. You are making a terrible generalization by saying "girls never do that sort of stuff." That's like me saying that all blondes named Jennifer from Buffalo, NY who post on Yahoo Answers are unintelligent. I'm sure you would disagree. Don't be so quick with your assumptions. If all 3 committed the crime all three should be punished in accordance with said crime.

what kind of stupid question is this...OBVIOUSLY girls do DO this sort of stuff because they did it!! everyones at fault they made theyre own stupid desicions..let em all go to jail....WTF!


theman
no affence but if they all sprayed the church and burn the flag or anything as simple as helping ya they all should get charged, i mean girls always want to have the same rights and treated with the same respect so there u go.

If all three are at fault, then all three should be charged.
Gender makes NO difference to justice.

What, all 3 of them did the crime, actively participated in the crime so they all should be charged. They all had an equal part so yes they all should get an equal sentence.

Now isnt that a bit harsh to say the girls should get off and the boy should go to jail for life. That punishment doesnt even fit the crime.

I should ask my mother in law about this case, she never mentioned it to me (we are from Buffalo). Maybe I will read the Buffalo News this seems interesting.

Take care

They should all be punished. How is the teenage supposed to be held accountable if they get away with their crimes. I did time because of the garbage I did and I am very female thank you very much, had not been held accountable, I would never have learned anything and I would probably be in the same pattern I was as a teenager. Now I am very successful person, and thanks to being held accountable, I succeed every single day in life.

I really hope your kidding. I mean seriously not matter who you are a boy or a girl if you do the crime you should get in trouble. If your 15 years old you know the difference between right and wrong.

I don't think that would really be fair. If you honestly think that, then you should probably consider that girls can be just as bad-behaved as boys can. It doesn't matter the gender. You can't choose who you are born to be. Say those two girls were born boys. Would you think they should go to jail? It's wrong to think that girls should be let off the hook and boys should get in trouble for something they all did bad together.

Just because they are girls doesn't mean anything, they all new it was wrong. Don't discriminate just because of gender. Donald Trump was talking about that on the radio this afternoon too. They should all pay consequences. They participated in it and didn't have to. Too darn bad.
They should all get charged, that's justice for you.

Did the girls just shake the paint ,or give moral support ,hold his hands,maybe a little paint or did they sit in the car an watch. They were there an had a choice a wrong choice so there as guilty as the boy sorry.

you're crazy. if they all did it, then they should all be punished. girls would be just as capable to that than a boy would. and no one would ever be put away for life just for spray painting property. the only reason the girls shouldn't be charged is if there is some proof that they were not involved.

uh, where do you live? girls do that crap everyday. some girls are just as disrespectful as some boys are. they will all end up b*****s in jail anyways so they should all be charged the same.


hopflower
Nope. They all took part, they all participated. Girls do INDEED do that sort of stuff.

No one made the girls commit the crime. They are just as guilty. That is part of what equality for women means. Males and females should be treated equally.

what? that doesnt make sense to just put the boy in jail. the girls were involved in the incident too, they should both be charged for vandalism but not for life, probably like community service or put them on probation.

and girls do do that kind of stuff too,its not just the guys. i think you're being a little racist because of the male and female gender.


Jamie Sunshine
ummm yes girls do that sorta of stuff all the time and it will make no difference in this case they all three will be tried I would like to see their lawyer try to say that in court it's stupid and it won't work! No they are no unfair with charging the girls they did the crime and gender makes no difference!


kokopelli
Your logic is just totally dumb. If they did it then they should be charged, plain and simple. You logic makes no sense at all... none whatsoever.


mj69catz
I don't know what world you come from, but girls can and will do that stuff.

And either way, the girls, at the age of 15, should know the word NO.
