And if it happened in CA, and CA wants to punish him, CA can make that choice. And if I was a juror in CA and the Prosecutor proved it, Id certainly vote to convict.

But I don’t have to have a moral issue with it just because there’s a law on the books. And I as a citizen would certainly want a Romeo and Juliet exception on the books for 19-17.

Does that make sense, I guess?

It doesn't need to be prosecuted. We already have precedent that the NBA can suspend a player who doesn't commit any crime.

Didn’t say it had to be prosecuted.

I don’t think for a second the NBA will want to suspend a 19 year old for relations with a 17 year old. Something which is legal in most of the country and that many of its players/staff/fans likely did while in high school or college.

Do you really think that 19-17 is rare in society? Or even particularly morally wrong?

That’s why the actual ages matter to me. This is either a nothingburger or a big fucking deal.

Hooking up with a minor is morally wrong.

And most the country doesn't care about legally owning a gun either. That didn't protect Ja.

Tell that to all high school seniors dating their boyfriend or girlfriend, where one turned 18 first.

Because I don’t think for a second you actually think Jenny (18) is morally bankrupt for having sex with her boyfriend Tommy (17).

Ja kept fucking around with guns in public.
