Fearsome rioter in development?

Tiny tearaway charged with rioting – Metro.co.uk: The debate over whether children should be labelled criminals doesn’t appear to have reached the region of Bihar in India, where police have charged a two-year-old boy with rioting.
Little Raj Kumar Jha was accused of being involved in disturbances which occurred during a clash between two communities during a religious festival. His parents say he was at home at his grandparents at the time of the riot.
The toddler was charged with throwing stones at police and rioting, despite laws that state the police cannot file criminal cases against a child below the age of seven.
Embarrassed officials say the charge could be a clerical error. But it is not the first time that authorities in the region have filed against small children.
Last October a three-month-old baby was reportedly charged with looting a bus and in another case five-year-old Raj Kumar was accused of assaulting and molesting a woman.

    The criminality of the very young should not be excused. I’ve seen them wantonly groping wimen and commiting lewd and lascivious acts on their covetous parts.

    12 years in catholic school should straighten that behavior out!

    If the kid was related to Al-Queda, I think you’ll find that most American conservatives would gladly skip bringing charges against any two-year old, and simply take them to a secret prison to torture them to find out what they know.

    Seriously, no conservative posting here has ever said that torturing innocent people is a problem, why not a little waterboarding?

    Good times, good times.

    I fear for my 13 week old grand daughter.

    So far she has been observed pulling hair, vomiting on caregivers, and inappropriate giggling.

    Fortunatly this behavior has only been observed by family members so she hasn’t been arrested or charged with the crimes.

    #2 (grog), I don’t know what the hell you are talking about, waterboarding was featured on the blog here:

    2. That’s a very interesting point you make about the waterboarding. However, don’t you think this Indian boy’s clerical error story is more about Democratic congressman Gerry Studd’s homosexual attack on an under-age page?

    5—That was really interesting. I’ve posted before that waterboarding was torture==but now I’m thinking. Guess it does all come down to “definition.”

    Torture to me has an “injurious physical component?” If it is nearly impossible to kill somebody using this ((random heart conditions not included)) then what is waterboarding except an EXTREMELY uncomfortable procedure wrought with EXTREME phsychological stress? Now, its fair to draw interrogations techniques before or after waterboarding==just looking at the traditional defintion of torture here ((excluding extreme mental distress)) which I guess is where Gonzales is coming from? Torture to me to listen to him “testify.”

    Course, would still kill people when used by overzelous folks without proper training.

    Jeez. They try to arrest Richard Gere for kissing that Bolly-babe, now this?

    No wonder that outsourced tech support is so crappy. Those guys are nuts!

  8. grog says:

    #5 — ah yes, i misrepresented the tactic as torture sorry about that — well then it’s perfectly safe and effective for use on infants — Good to know, Thanks!

    #6 — um, no, it has nothing to do with that, but it sounds like you have a big hang up about homosexuals, do you feel persecuted because you are gay?

  9. bobbo says:

    Just in from CNN==a 7 year old boy wired to explosives detained in Iraq. He was confused about how to make the bomb he was carrying go off so he asked for help from a local policeman.

    Maybe the police are making inroads on the trust front. But to this thread==what should Iraq do with this kid?

    Icecream and sent home?
    Punish the parents?
    Segregated and sent to special school?

    What a cesspool.

    #11, We all reap what everyone sows.

    12,

    True dat! Of course, those with the most farm equipment usually plant the seeds, so to speak.

  13. TJGeezer says:

    If it happened in the U.S. they’d just try the kid as an adult and find some minor celebrity scandal to distract We the People.

    #6 – I think it’s about Anna Nicole Smith, actually.

  14. JOHNSON of the city says:

    There was a kid in my local watering hole last week I wish the police whould have arrested.

    Piss in the fountain??
