MODERATORS
They were 16, people that beat them up were "older girls". Surely they will charge them as adults right?
Nah they will just claim religious persecution and "it will ruin their life" throw in them "fearing for their safety" being the right race and gender. At most they are looking at community service.
I think the system is going to suddenly find a lot of excuses not to do that. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if the police suddenly decided they had no place enforcing adult laws in school and saying this is a learning moment...
I mean, they're young girls and probably white so the justice system is going to do everything it can to avoid holding them accountable before you even get to it being a nonbinary victim in a red state. Even if they're charged and convicted as adults I'd be shocked if they get worse than probation and maybe a suspended sentence at worst. Names withheld by media, of course.
