If society has gone a different direction what you did do may have been just as condemnable.

The difference is 40 years ago when i lacked better judgement, i didn't do things that were condemnable and they still aren't to this day.

These kids have done something current date that is condemnable. Maybe they just weren't raised right and can turn their lives around but it's not quite the same situation. What they did will always have been bad at the time they did it.

But it didnt and I'm glad because we shouldnt let people be racist. What's your point here? R u js pulling a "what if some things were worse" cause they are, racism is far from the worst thing u can do today. I'm taking a guess and saying they probs didnt murder anyone as a teen. now I'd hope u could agree that is a step too far that being a dumb kid doesnt justify same deal w racism
