You right, heads smashing against walls and Bee Gees lyrics. My argument is invalid.

Um. I think the point about children that Chula is maybe making is that, generally, adult vs adult is a little more balanced than child vs adult. Sure, he's probably armed and crazy, but given even a slight chance you could leg it, hit him over the head, hide, whatever. As adults we have the wherewithal to size up the options better. A kid is just gonna cry, and has no conception of how to get out of his/her situation other than crying for his/her parents.

Also, adults know what's happening to them. Kids don't understand or appreciate why (in the broadest sense) it's happening and can't process it. They're brought up to generally think of most adults as people they can turn to, who will care for them and protect them, and for one to act this way is such a shock to their system that they literally can't comprehend it. You may be getting chased by/imprisoned by/stalked by some loon with a knife, and you'll be ****ting yourself, but you'll know why and may be able to devise some strategy. Kids can't; they're not yet equipped mentally to think that way, and that's one of the main reasons why crimes of this nature against children are seen as extra-horrible.

Also, don't forget, CV has children of his own. I don't. If you don't you probably can't understand his anger.

Dude calm down. You are shrieking like a lunatic, and all people seem to be saying is one of two things, either they don't agree that executing someone is right. Or they aren't apposed to it if vengeance isn't the motive.

Stop and listen to what people are saying man, just for a second.
