Is she 15? 17? 18? Shit I’ve even heard rumors she was 12. For now I think this entire thing is overblown
I would really like to know his age and her age at the time. I’ve read conflicting things.
21 to 15 I care deeply
19 to 17 I don’t care at all
If it's California it's still illegal.
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.
