I don't know why everyone is so fixated on age as exculpatory. The Weather Underground was filled with kids too. Seem to remember that most of the Khmer Rouge executioners were kids toohttps://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/966159159640182789 …
Children are uniquely terrifying. They're untempered by adult experience. All of their memories are of being cared for and catered to. All of their competitions thus far have been low stakes. They don't yet know how much damage they can really do so they act unhinged.
