A new ‘racial justice’ bill introduced by Democrats in Maryland
would prevent suspected criminals under the age of 25 being charged
with felony murder under the justification that their frontal lobes
are not fully developed.

Yes, really.

A felony murder occurs when someone is killed as a result of a
felony crime, like if a getaway driver hits a pedestrian while
fleeing the scene of a robbery.

Democrats appear to think that it’s racist to charge someone for
that crime even if they are legally an adult.

“Democratic Delegate Charlotte Crutchfield is looking to change that
with her Youth Accountability and Safety Act, House Bill 1180,”
reports Fox Baltimore. “Specifically, Delegate Crutchfield wants
that to apply to anyone under the age of 25.”

The bill was introduced after Governor Wes Moore’s pick to run the
Juvenile Justice Service, Vincent Schiraldi, argued that no one
under the age of 21 should be introduced to the justice system
because their frontal lobes are not fully developed.

“People between the ages of 18 and 25 are more developmentally
similar to juveniles than they are to fully mature adults,”
Schiraldi previously told NPR. “They just are. And our justice
system hasn’t figured that out yet.”

Republican Delegate Susan McComas, an opponent of the new bill,
pointed out the ludicrous dichotomy of how Democrats treat minors
and young adults.

“Proponents of the bill say that the human brain is not fully formed
in the frontal lobes until age 25. But yet, we’re doing other things
in the general assembly, letting children vote earlier and earlier,
letting them get hormone inducing drugs to change their sex,” she
said.

McComas cautioned that the passage of the bill would simply lead to
another spike in crime.

“If this bill passes, you’re going to have kingpins, you’re going to
have gangs use juveniles to do their dirty work,” she warned.

“Though Crutchfield wants to go easy on black “juvenile” adult
murderers, she sponsored a hate crime bill last year to expand harsh punishments for whites who commit “hate crimes” against nonwhites
and empower nonwhite victims to sue their white oppressors in civil
court,” writes Chris Menahan.

“Black murderers need “restorative justice” but whites who commit “microaggressions” must be locked up for life!”


That’s where we are in March of 2023, nearly three years after the
death of St. George Floyd.

Moral of the story – stay as far away from 65% black Baltimore as
possible (where virtually every homicide is committed by young black
male).
