mpg611 Champion Author Cleveland Posts:2,310 Points:565,825 Joined:Apr 2011	Message Posted: Jan 6, 2013 12:16:44 AM Ignore mpg611 Report Abuse Wouldnt be surprised if his parents and grandparents refer to him as "...but he's such a good boy...". Furthermore I know some bleeding heart Liberals in Illinois who would say "...but he's just a kid...". Well this 'kid' is 18 and by that age should know better. He screwed up bigtime and now faces the consequences. It would be ridiculous AND economically and socially devastating if the legal age were raised to 28 years. Late teens and 20 somethings are no longer kids.
